Re: [Trisquel-users] What is the most secure command for encrypting files with gnupg?
Hello! I use gpg -c fileToEncrypt. What the "--cipher-algo AES256" part do? Thanks in advance!
Re: [Trisquel-users] What is the most secure command for encrypting files with gnupg?
what does that look like command wise?
Re: [Trisquel-users] External HDD preparation best practices
Thanks Sasaki, definitely worth knowing. About encrypting an external drive, it seems gnome-disks is a tool to use, not GParted (that previous link I posted was about an OS install): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemsOnRemovableStorage

Re: [Trisquel-users] External HDD preparation best practices
Just to say there is a preacution while formatting SSD hardrives, if you plan to buy one. Mine is broken since I formatted it in fat32. Now it takes five hours to copy 2Go of date from the disk to the computer. I've read somewhere you must format that type of disk with care, letting some space in the partition, or upload the firmware or something like that, I can't retrieve the page.

AWESOME! The payment options are so limited I noticed; so regrettably I'm unable to buy one. I'd sure hate to buy the one I saw in the store, knowing what lurks inside. :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] External HDD preparation best practices
Ah sorry, I didn't explain properly: A is my PC HDD, with the OS within, and some data of course. B (as in "Backup) is the external backup drive, either the same size, or a bit larger than A. It's smaller than C though. C is the huge HDD used for storage, unplugged from the PC most of the time. - So there are two separate ideas, because B should have the same files as A since it backs it up (so it's ok if either one crashes), but for C, I was thinking of the DVDs for backing up a few specific files. Though these files will probably be on A and B too, so I guess more is really overkill. I was considering indeed (at first) backing up all the files of C inside itself, and you didn't recommend it (plus It would reduce the space for data by half). But it's true that DVDs don't last for too long. - Well, that may be my ignorance speaking but I do not believe that searching in a folder would be faster if that folder is alone in a partition. I am talking about a search restricted to the folder in question of course. Yes, I too doubt partitioning would speed up anything. - With "Backups", it is a box to check. But if you encrypt the partition, it looks useless to also encrypt the backup. Ah, that's simplifies things, thanks for the info. DejaDup has some bad press though (maybe because of the user, but still): https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/4blx2o/should_we_replace_deja_dup_as_the_default_backup/ The only bad thing I found about Back In Time for now is this: There's a "gotcha" with backintime - "dot" files are excluded by default. If you want your home directory's dot files, use backintime's Settings->Exclude and remove .* https://askubuntu.com/questions/2596/comparison-of-backup-tools I'll have to dig through this https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues, or just use the suggested (annoying) quick fix. - So I suppose I should format C as ext4 with encryption. I should format B as ext4 (no encryption) and set the software to backup on B, with encryption from the software. And maybe get a few files on DVD (or hopefully there's a better idea). Did I miss something?

Sent. :) Thanks to those who gave me the +. I love Trisquel, and this community. :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] What is the most secure command for encrypting files with gnupg?
Or: Use public key encryption.

@Legimet & Aprendiz_de_linux: Bingo, I'm using Stable. so it's just a prompt, specially since KWallet isn't installed on the machine. Thank you.
Re: [Trisquel-users] What is the most secure command for encrypting files with gnupg?
This is how I do it, after I put the files in a tar archive: gpg -c --cipher-algo AES256 file.tar.gz

Done Sent! :-)
[Trisquel-users] FSD meeting every Friday want to help ?
Hello, Today’s theme of the FSD meeting on the IRC channel is friends and family and since I don't have any of those I came here. Basically, does anyone wants to come and help us maintaining the Free/libre software database, it doesn’t require lots of technical knowledge most of the work is to search information, read, edit and ask the original maintainers of the referenced software to edit their entry if possible. If you want to help join us at the #FSF IRC channel. Here's the main page https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Main_Page and the small guide for beginner's https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Free_Software_Directory:Participate note: don't hesitate to ask for help on IRC I wish you all a good day.
[Trisquel-users] What is the most secure command for encrypting files with gnupg?
Also, how would I decrypt using whatever method you mention? is it any more secure than gpa?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Kwallet when opening Marble
It happens to me too hack and hack. Are you using Debian Jessie? I am. I will follow the link provided by Legimet. Thank you!
