That's because the Parabola website uses CAcert certificates, which are not
installed by default in Abrowser. You might want to read the http home page.
Most probably you should be using Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, roboq6. It is
Arch-based, but 100% FaiF.
It's also cute in that it's home page is untrusted by abrowser lol. What type
of fun are you Paraballas having?
Yeah great thread. I get as passionate about figuring out stuff as
yourselves. Annotation is the key to the world and my life's project.
The problem with books and articles is its impossible to incorporate

You do not need to precisely understand TCP/IP to administrate a network.
The same goes for configuration of router, isn't it?

- It's old, but a lot of this stuff hasn't changed.
- It's long, but you can dip in to find out what you need to
Thank you, but is it useless without knowledge of TCP/IP and so on?
Nobody can understand the whole system in details
Sure thing. But you are missing the point.
I don't want to be Mr. I-know-all !
I just want to figure out stuff I NEED to know. No more, no less. This is the
most challenging part.
For exampe, is it important to know how TCP/IP works?
How are *we* supposed to know what are *your* needs to have sense of
control over [your] computer?
You can't. But maybe you can help me to figure out that I need to know if I
tell you my needs.
Let's begin with minimum minimorum. If I have the Internet then I can solve
the most of my
When you don't have internet, just try take a look at /usr/share/doc and
/usr/share/info directories.
And read the man pages with man at terminal.
(The tkinfo, xman, and dwww(runs at localhost) programs are
alternatives and you can expand that documentation, installing docs available
This site, along with the manual pages, the documentations available on the
GNU project's site, and some examples on the Internet, helped me understand
somethings (not everything) related to Bash, Cat, Sed (I am still in doubt
about most of the things I've learned about Sed), regular
Hi Roboq6,
I understand your frustration as I'm in the same boat to a certain degree.
Here's my solution, take it step by step and realize that you won't get there
overnight:
1) Great tutorials at www.tldp.org (click on Guides in the middle of the
page)
a) Introduction to Linux - A
roboq6, are you making jokes here ;)
Operating systems are among the most complicated things in the world of
programming. They are not some high-level application, but include relatively
high-level applications as well as very low-level applications as a kernel
and various drivers. The
I use google because of relevant results.
Not an excuse, use StartPage.com instead. :D

I don't see any sense to use StartPage. I don't care about NSA and so on. I
like DuckDuckGo because of absence of filter bubble. Sometimes it helps me.
But I have DuckDuckFallback extension. The extension added Search in Google

I believe you are correct, but still it's the best choice if you need to run
dos in a computer. And the project is very FLOSS minded so it's something
that we should perhaps try to understand (it's DOS after all, you can't be
picky with something that is older than ourselves :P)
For the
I don't think it's possible to understand a system to this extent.
Why?
POSIX-type operating systems are very complicated.

Really? You know, I don't eat meat(because it is unethical for me), but I
think that meat is healthy and tasty. If I posted this opinion on vegetarian
forum, then by your logic I'm a troll.
How about Ruben? Is he exception?
I don't have sense of control over my computer.
You can say You must use only FLOSS, only freedom-friendly hardware, etc.
Then you can control your computer.
But alas, it is an overstatement. Because if I encounter a problem, then
often I forced to google solution and blindly use
By the way, if computations control can be considered as related to
ethics, then in my book proprietary MS-DOS much more ethical than opensource
Trisquel.
This is bait
Because if I encounter a problem, then often I forced to google solution and
blindly use instructions. Without proper understanding, like magic.
Why? Who is making you use google/NSA? Who is making you not try to
understand the instructions? It's crazy to follow random instructions one
Who is making you use google/NSA?
I use google because of relevant results. Maybe this is my fault, because my
search skill not-so-good, but facts are facts. For example, yesterday I was
searching activ тариф джуни. Duckduckgo showed me only irrelevant
trash.
Who is making you not try
With a proprietary system you cannot find out. Code is not available, can be
obfuscated and you might be breaking the law if you try to find out how
something works. With Trisquel you're welcome to browse the code, with an
occasional comment or two and won't run into any legal issues.

proprietary MS-DOS...
There is FreeDOS, but I heard it relies upon a proprietary compiler.
1.I must understand how it works under hood. My understanding must vary
from very abstract concepts to detail comprehension of every cogwheel,
according to my needs.
2.If I encounter a problem, then I should be able to solve it on my own,
without help of other people. In ideal, even
