Re: [Trisquel-users] Hosting recommendations
Don't worry for the price and country (but if it's possible, avoiding USA). I'd like a hosting service where I can access a full GNU/Linux system through SSH where I can have root access, so I'd be able to install/delete programs, set them up, etc. A Cpan (or similar) web would be also OK. What I want to run there is: - An Apache server (for websites and webapps, like roundcube and maybe ownCloud/NextCloud)* - email server (postfix+dovecot)* - use Let's Encrypt for all the SSL stuff *for these I requiere the typical opened ports, like 80, 443, 25, 564, 143, 993, 995, etc. Would be good to also have the option of which distro to run. Otherwise, if I cannot choose it, a good choice would be a stable distro (LTS preferably) that runs versions of certbot that are able to create wildcard certificates. Doesn't matter if the hosting service you want to recommend me doesn't meet all of these requirements. While I can manage the web and email server, it's OK (and most important, the SSL certs)

[Trisquel-users] Hosting recommendations
Hi guys, hope you are all fine! This is my first post of the year here in the Trisquel forum. I simply wanted to know if any of you could recommend me an ethical, affordable and good quality hosting service. I know Gandi, but I'd like to have other options to compare. Thanks, and happy new year to everyone!

[Trisquel-users] Is the TI License free?
Hi everyone. Since I don't have much knowledge about licenses I wanted to ask for help in identifying if a TI-licensed software is considered to be free software. The software I'm using is -> https://git.ti.com/processor-firmware/ti-amx3-cm3-pm-firmware/trees/ti-v4.1.y (see the License.txt file, that's the Texas Instruments Software License Agreement) Note that from the files under bin/ folder, only am335x-pm-firmware.bin and am335x-pm-firmware.elf can be built from source, the rest of the files have no source code (which makes them non-free). Regarding the am335x-pm-firmware.* files, are they free software? if not, which of the four freedoms of free software it's not respecting? and why? Thanks for helping.
[Trisquel-users] First alpha of Dragora 3 already available
From their home page: The Dragora project produces a LIBRE, reliable, UNIX-like GNU/Linux distribution made from scratch! Dragora respects the freedom of the user with the values of free software and provides control to those who use it. Dragora is developed entirely by volunteers and it is published under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Yesterday, December 31, 2017, the first alpha ISO of Dragora 3 has been launched.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is and when trisquel 8 will be released?
IMO that would centralize the alternatives and, in some way, destroy the freedom to choose. Parabola is a simple and up-to-date distro, Dragora is simple too but a bit more user-friendly and completely free from Systemd, Trisquel is focused on offering a ready-to-use OS, EterTICS is made for local radios, LibreCMC is made specially for routers, Hyperbola is centered on security, stability and init freedom, and so on. Do you get my point? There has to exist diversity. We can join efforts when we need it, yea, but that's kinda unusual.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is and when trisquel 8 will be released?
Sounds like a "testing" version of a LTS distro. Latest software, but being patched for becoming stable
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where is and when trisquel 8 will be released?
Parabola is best for latest free software which it is rolling, in its LTS fork, Hyperbola (...) Hyperbola is not a Parabola fork, and it never was. Its based on Arch snapshots and at the beginning the devs took Parabola's [libre] and [nonprism] packages but they don't sync with Parabola's repositories.

I also asked in the IRC and someone gave me some useful links (I'll post them later, I'm not in the PC with the links), it didn't look difficult, to what I recall. BTW, with the Bloberry Pi you do not need extra power supply, that is used for the BBB.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mission impossible: Family privacy
Protip: using the word "historically" doesn't grant your conspiracy theories legitimacy. How old are Masons? Vaccines intended for young children do not have thimerosal anymore. Ah, so then you know that mercury in vaccines can cause autism in children? (When they are applyed in women of course) AFAIK autism has increased in the last time, and mistically vaccines include it. There's no need to invoke an "Illuminati" or "New World Order" to explain it. OK, so from now on I'm not going to "invoke", as you say, the NSA, the CIA or any other agency when talking about global surveillance (is that possible?)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mission impossible: Family privacy
Too much misunderstand here. Why do you ask for proofs if there are plenty of them? Old and new ones https://www.rt.com/usa/nro-satellite-octopus-emblem-854/ And when I say "Them" it's because if I knew who are those people exactly I'd say their names, but "they" are hidden (not that much, "they" are the head of the global surveillance, do you know those people?) The NWO is as "theoretical" as the global surveillance, if you don't want to believe it, then it's not my problem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mission impossible: Family privacy
The point is that, as you said, they want to create the New World Order and we have seen that they are achieving that. They have been present since centuries ago, and they participated on the declaration of human rights to make us think they are "good" like if they protected us. False, they are worst than Monsantos and Microsoft, they also damage us and our rights, they also lie to us, and the worst of all, it that they want to control all the world. They have plans after that, for example removing 2/3 of humans, and they are already starting, with imposed vaccines in schools which have mercury, with wars in middle east, etc.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mission impossible: Family privacy
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Edward_Snowden I perfectly understand you, I think most of us do, sometimes you might feel you'll explote But you have to be cold: I have a little cousin, he's like 3 years old, and all his family uses anti-privacy technology (except me, I'm the black sheep), there are hundreds of photos and videos of him in Facebook's database, like many other little kids, and they have no idea of the risk, and surely they'll difficulty know about, they just care about playing -like any child does-, and they'll grow up living with this kind of society of the "I don't care", "I've nothing to hide". So that's why my suggestion is to be non-emotive about this topics, if not, you'll likely feel bad. I'm not being pessimist, I'm being realistic, but well, this is just my opinion
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mission impossible: Family privacy
You can say "If the Facebook's creator was cracked, I don't want to imagine a normal used"
Re: [Trisquel-users] Mission impossible: Family privacy
Be careful with the ones behind the declaration of human rights Historically, the ultra-powerful secret families (Illuminatis) control everything. Of course, that can change, but as Stallman said (and this is also historical), freedom requires sacrifices, some of which people is not willing to. P.S: The photo appeared in my History book. So I searched it as "declaracion de los derechos humanos le barbier"

Hi, I'm new to riseup, I've set up my account in Icedove (Thunderbird based) and it worked for a short time, today it couldn't find the SMTP service because it's an "unknown domain" according to it, as I set it up as POP3, then I tried to do as IMAP, but it was worst, it didn't recognized the account! SO after all, I decided to see if it happened the same with the webmail, but it was like if nothing would have ever happened, so I'm really surprised, what's happening? Thanks.

I agree, I don not like it too, latest versions depend hardly on Systemd, why a DE would depend on an init? because Systemd it is not really an init, it does things that are not related in what an init must do. This may be a different topic, but anyway, it is true.
[Trisquel-users] ThinkPad T400 not booting
hi everyone, I've a "ThickPad" T400 which I rescued and resurrected, but then it died again :'( It didn't have anything, no battery, no BIOS battery, no DVD reader, no screws, and a bad flex (display cable). After fixing almost all that (now it has a bios battery, all the screws and a good flex, but I don't have the battery and the DVD reader), it somehow stopped working (just like you read). I turn it on and nothing it's shown, then it reboots, and at the 3th time it rebooted it used to work but now it powers off. I've tried everything, but nothing. My questions are the following: 1) what the hell is happening? 2) could libreboot fix this? (it actually runs the default nonfree BIOS) it could be a BIOS issue maybe. 3) similar to 1, which diagnostics can I do it to discover the issue and fix it?

Welcome to the forum!

[Trisquel-users] Doubts about libreboot flashing and configuration
Hi everyone. I've some questions about libreboot. As I said in the Spanish forum, I got a Thinkpad T400 and, of course, I want to flash it Libreboot. The problem is that I don't have a BeagleBone Black, but a friend has a Banana Pi. As banana pi is based on Raspberry Pi, I thought that this guide https://github.com/bibanon/Coreboot-ThinkPads/wiki/X200-X201-Hardware-Flashing-with-Raspeberry-Pi would work. The guide is for X200, but it is very alike to the T400. For me it looks pretty easy, but my concern is the following: Are the pin jumper cables different, in terms of electronic stuff, when they are different in color? (the external cables like this ones) In the guide they use blue cables, all of them are the same color. I've an ATX power source that I do not use, can I use it's cables? And how do I take them out? And, about the external power supply, how will I know if it is necessary? In libreboot's website they use one for the BBB https://libreboot.org/docs/install/bbb_setup.html and in the GitHub guide in the note it says The raspberry pi 3.3V rail should be sufficient to power the chip during flashing, so no external power supply should be required; however, at the time of writing that has only been tested and confirmed for one chip, the MX25L6405D. so in case I need power supply, I'll need a male-female cable, right? and in what pin of the BPI do I have to connect it? Here are the BPI pins I know they are many questions, but anyway, thanks in advance!

Try also with other distros, like Parabola MATE ISO. Do you have the option to manage volume? Or it appears like no sound? Try looking at a more advanced option with alsa mixer. It could also be that you may need to install some gstreamer packages.

[Trisquel-users] The death of CyanogenMod will affect Replicant?
Hi everybody out there. I was reading in the XDA website some news, and I found this: https://www.xda-developers.com/the-death-of-cyangenmod-and-whats-in-store-for-the-future/ Cyanogen Inc. has finally delivered a bullet to the brain – of CyanogenMod. After years of tumultuous turnovers in the company, Cyanogen recently announced that the company would consolidate all of their efforts into a new Cyanogen Modular OS program. As a part of their consolidation, the company announced that many of their employees, including Cyanogen (Steve Kondik) himself, would part ways with the company. Finally, today the company announced that all Cyanogen services and Cyanogen-supported nightly builds will be discontinued after December 31st, 2016. https://cyngn.com/blog/cyanogen-services-shutting-down But it says that it will be rebranded as LineageOS http://lineageos.org/Yes-this-is-us/ Anyway, how will this affect the Replicant project? Will it improve, get worse, or continue the same?

As far as I know, uBlock is a fork of AdBlock, which supposes to be fast, potent, and lean. It just blocks ads.
Re: [Trisquel-users] [Trisquel 8.0] - Unar
Unar is on the Parabola's repos. Of course it should be on Trisquel's too! I use it and it's very useful

[Trisquel-users] Bluetooth in the Thinkpad, libreboot compatible, laptops doubts
Hi Trisquel community! I'd like to buy a Libreboot laptop (but i can't), and I was looking for it in Tehnoethic and Minifree, and both have its pros and cons. In Tehnoethic, libreboot laptops have bluetooth, do Minifree's laptops have? I stay with Minifree's prices, because Technoethic sells them with low internal storage and more expensive. In the case Minifree's laptops don't have bluetooth, how can I have it? In Tehnoethic's it says that its laptops have a chip. Any video/tutorial that explains how to do that? Thanks in advance!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot Developer Leah Rowe Attack gnu and rms Again
https://libreboot.org/why-not-gnu/ "Your project will become associated with all of this, even if you personally dislike Richard Stallman." She endorses free software, but she hates RMS. It´s like being christian but hating jesus. You are free to follow him, or not. In life not everybody will be nice and friendly with you, and you have to accept that, that also applies for work. I think it´s enough. I don´t get the point of boycotting GNU and the FSF. Is easy to blame, but not to prove. I hope one day this problem resolves.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot Developer Leah Rowe Attack gnu and rms Again
really? this is more ridiculous than hating GNU and developing free software, like Rowe. The most stupid thing is that all this problem is not about sth. that affected her. Involving feelings with the work may not be a good combination, specially is those feelings are negative.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot Developer Leah Rowe Attack gnu and rms Again
Calling people "extremists" implies they are willing to use violence to achieve their goals. I don´t think that it necessarily means that an extremist will use violence, I think it means that the person will do everything to achieve its goal. But I don´t think Stallman would do sth. unmoral to achieve his goal. I would not call RMS an extremist, I would call him persistent. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/4zx1br/why_do_so_many_people_hate_the_fsf_gnu_project/
Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot Developer Leah Rowe Attack gnu and rms Again
What a bunch of crap. I agree with onpon4´s points, and that the rest is nonsense. She "endorses" free software, she maintains THE fully-free BIOS replacement in the world, and she sends to the hell to the pioneers of the free software movement, the ones that we should be thank of. I have better things to do other than badmouthing important free software projects. Many - a lot of - FSF followers are fanatical, to the point of extremism. What is "extremist"? Having a Libreboot computer with Trisquel or Parabola? Leah´s overreacting, but seems that no one cares.
