Re: [Trisquel-users] Some questions about GPU in completely free software enviroments
With you GT730 you have 3D acceleration, but you need to reclock (very easy) to get full power of your GPU. If you have one of the latest kernels (after 4.4), just run some commands: "#" means that you need to run it as superuser # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate you will see something like that, lines beginning with "0" are states, "*" is actual state, and "DC" is actual clocks. For GT430 you will have only 3 lines, 2 states (07 and maybe 0a only")(so the line before "DC" line is your highest clock) 07: core 405 MHz memory 648 MHz AC DC * 0a: core 405-1032 MHz memory 1620 MHz 0e: core 405-1202 MHz memory 6700 MHz 0f: core 405-1202 MHz memory 6700 MHz DC: core 405 MHz memory 648 MHz now just run reclocking commands before gaming (in your case you only need one reclocking command, because you have only 2 states): # echo 0a > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate after gaming, just downclock it: # echo 07 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate and you are done.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser not playing sound because it now requires Pulseaudio
A simple solution is to either use IceCat/Iceweasel for audio playback (as the version of Firefox on which it is based still supports ALSA), or, if you prefer a browser based on newer Mozilla code (with support for WebExtensions), to use Waterfox instead. Other Mozilla browsers with ALSA support include Seamonkey/Iceape (but not all Firefox add-ons are compatible).
Re: [Trisquel-users] family privacy Again
I tried to install diaspora but the server which is a ra*berry pi (it is n ot open hardware i asked in the forums and they CAN NOT release the gpu code, and they say it does not have backdoors but who will believe that, eoma68 is too much expensive that I cannot buy locally) not being able to handle it (low ram) so I just installed humhub community edition, but disasppointed to not find any mobile apps and I saw a discussion that the offcial mobile app will not be free. I tried gnu social but I need something that almost mimics book of faces, friendica cannot be installed for some reason and no other alternatives that I can think of. Thank you for suggesting the deleting their accounts @SuperTramp but that would just spark world war, they did not remove my face in the post and I am still pissed of because of that, in the next family gathering I will refuse to take any pictures whatever be the consequences of it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safely running non-free software when I'm "forced" to
I am forced to use non-free pirated winblows software Adob* Photoshop (portable cracked edition), Visual Basic 6 (portable cracked) and Visual Basic .NET (not much space to install) on our school I do not have a separate machine to use them, I only have a netbook computer, but I am planning to disconnect the network and use they in WINE but I doubt that they will run since they are wind*ws programs.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser not playing sound because it now requires Pulseaudio
I've noticed the same thing lately. If I log in, start Abrowser, and try to play html5 audio or video I get "To play audio, you may need to install the required PulseAudio software." However, if I play something in mpv or vlc and then restart Abrowser, audio in Abrowser starts working.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser not playing sound because it now requires Pulseaudio
IIRC pulseaudio requires systemd so that solution wouldn't work so easily :/

[Trisquel-users] Free Software Alternative to AWS?
Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a good free-software alternative to Amazon Web Services? I did a quick DuckDuckGo, which turned up this list here, which looks promising (it says 'open source', but most appear to be free software): http://101.datascience.community/2013/06/07/open-source-alternatives-to-aws/ Does anyone have any experience of using any of these services? Ideally, I'd like to find one that would be suitable for hosting a Java-based web server for a web-based libre game. Thanks! :-)

Everything is possible provided you know how to achieve it. But may I ask why would you do so when there is already the excellent Tails? Or, if you (and rightfully so) disdain the non-free blobs of it, Heads? Tails is developed by an excellent team and constantly updated, they take care of all the issues and make sure EVERYTHING is routed via tor.

Almost all Nvidia gpus I tried so far work beautifully without installing proprietary firmware/drivers thanks to it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
I am not a fan of anybody and I am not looking for fans, followers and all that business. Having fans is stupid vanity. I have been saying the whole time - no authority, no conformity to ideology (=no followers). Can't people be friends without imposing rules on each other? Isn't that what freedom is all about? If you still think that freedom is about control - we are not really meeting each other, not communing as it were.

I suspect you're not a fan of me personally at this point, but I sincerely do appreciate your work.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
> Do you think you could probably point me out to the correct RFC (or whatever web standard document applies) to read more about that process? I am not well versed on this, but AFAIK http requests are connectionless, i.e. there's a request and a response, whereas https is connection based. Because https communication is basically an autenticated and encrypted session, i.e. a VPN tunnel, which requires a sustained connection. Otherwise, each simple request such as GET should have been preceded by establishing an SSL tunnel, and terminating the connection upon response. This is simply too expensive to implement. So an SSL tunnel (connection) must be permanent one, in which, requests and responses exchanged. Even if there's no exchange of request/response pair between the client and server, the connection should stay open once established, until either connection times out or parties terminate the connection gracefully (by handshaking). This is as far as I remember. I might be omitting important details. As for a link, I don't have one readily available, but a DDG search with combinations of "ssl" , "connection" , "https" , "tunnel" , "rfc" words should lead you to relevant resources, I think.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Safely running non-free software when I'm "forced" to
Never connect your laptop to the internet while running any virtual machine that uses proprietary software especially winblows. Though I say the same to ubuntu and linux mint or anything else fishy such as proprietary software.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
So far I have always thought that once the file is loaded, there is no need to keep any connections open or to send packets in order to close them. In fact it seemed to me logical that once the document is loaded, this "handshake closing packets" (or whatever the proper technical term is) should be assumed as sent which closes the connection. This means - it should not be related to closing the browser. Otherwise it seems it may be a privacy issue itself and the server software may be using such "closing packets" as information about (potentially) knowing what the user is doing on his computer (closing the browser, time spent on the site or anything along these lines). Do you think you could probably point me out to the correct RFC (or whatever web standard document applies) to read more about that process?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Well, if the URL is "httpS" then the communication is connection based. The browser can just drop the connection (without handshake) and the server keeps the connection open till it times out. This (keeping a dead connection open) can put a small burden on the server, cumulatively, i.e. if every client just drops line wthout a "bye". Qupzilla seems to be playing nice. Just guessing. Looking at the payload of outbound and inbound packets could reveal it. But anyway since packet exchange occurs with currently opened site only, that means it is not related to spying (privacy).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
I got a new gprl license , try to find 5 legs for my linseed, it will drive you nuts always.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Why should HTTP make hand shakes or keep open connections after the robots.txt has been downloaded? And what would be the exact mechanism (and purpose) for doing anything like that?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
> The sending of packets on exit to the currently opened site still persists though. It might be some protocol exchange (hand-shaking) to terminate an open connection.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
Disabled Adblock and deleted the adblock subdirectory from profile. On startup there are no packets. The sending of packets on exit to the currently opened site still persists though.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Web Browser
> QupZilla
> Startup: multiple connections to filter37.adblockplus.org
> Open preferences - zero packets but when I clicked on "Tabs" section more
packets to filter37.adblockplus.org were sent
Could you retry it with AdBlock disabled? (in the Tools menu)
On a side note, there was an online/offline selection (in File menu) in the
previous version of qupzilla, but it's gone in v2.2.3. This is a backwards
evolution regarding privacy. I have worked around that by having 2 separate
proxy definitions and selecting arbitrarily one of them (easier to do with
"StatusBar Icons" plugin enabled).
Proxy #1 ("online") -> Default to system proxy (direct internet connection)
Proxy #2 ("offline")-> HTTP::localhost:54321 (which doesn't exist, so
internet connection is blocked)
I wonder whether qupzilla would still send outgoing packets (other than DNS
queries) even with a bogus proxy definiton, as it would mean actively and
deliberately going out of its ways to connect to internet - which I wouldn't
consider as benign behavior.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Abrowser not playing sound because it now requires Pulseaudio
It is not a "Trisquel problem". Sound in Abrowser works great on my systems. Have you tried launching 'abrowser' from a terminal emulator and "open" a video? An error message may be displayed. Also, does the "Applications" tab of "Sound", in the "System Settings", list Abrowser? Is it on?
[Trisquel-users] Abrowser not playing sound because it now requires Pulseaudio
Since the last Abrowser upgrade a few days ago, sound isn't played anymore. The reason might be that Firefox has stopped accepting Alsa and now requires Pulseaudio. See: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/firefox-52-no-sound-pulseaudio-alsa-linux https://support.mozilla.org/de/questions/1199433 I can play videos directly with VLC, pasting the url there. But will Abrowser some time work like before? What's the problem with Pulseaudio for Trisquel?
