[Trisquel-users] Re : An alternative to gmail
Well, it depends on where you live. In Brazil, it actually is hard (though possible) to find a 3TB external drive for the equivalent of US$ 200.
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
Why are 3TB hard drives even being discussed? That's not even close to necessary, As your numbers show, even with tens of thousands of emails, that's less than 10 GB. The base OS never takes up more than around 16 GB, so anything 32 GB or more will do just fine. Personally, I "only" use around 120 GB (out of a 500 GB hard drive), and almost all of that is videos. Emails don't even register.
[Trisquel-users] Re : An alternative to gmail
You are right... but are external drives with less than 1TB of space still produced? There are flash memories but the unit cost (i.e., the cost of one GB) is higher and they are not as reliable.
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
I don't know, but even if they're not, they're still available and much cheaper. On Amazon, I found multiple 250-320 GB hard drives being sold for less than $20. If it were me, and I needed a hard drive, this is what I would be getting; why spend $100 for an additional 700 GB of space I'm not even going to use?

Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
I just deleted my whole google existence a few weeks ago and it has been nice. :) I've been using fastmail for a few years now with no problems and life without google has been completely fine!

Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
As a layman I'm not sure if I'm following everything but: what about riseup.net as an alternative?
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
I have been using Riseup for about a year now. So far I'm very pleased, rock-solid service. Be aware, they are a donation-based service and there's been a few times they had no choice but to ask everyone to donate something to help out (which I felt was quite reasonable). Someone has to pay somehow for bandwidth, servers and such. ProtonMail is a free alternative (as far as I remember). Another alternative might be Startpage's StartMail https://www.startmail.com/, though it appears that it is fee-based. An additional fee-based service is VFEmail. Between the suggestions already made and these, I'm sure you can choose something that will suit you, best of luck :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] An alternative to gmail
Thanks! :) Haha yeah good point. I'm sure my data will forever be in one of google's data-centers buried secretly within some mountain. At least I'm not giving them any more data (well i think lol)!
[Trisquel-users] Question about EOMA68 Libre Tea Computer Card (RYF)
Hi If you are not familiar with the product,please look down below. https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68/micro-desktop I never used to own arm in miniPC form (except for non usable android phones).I thought that it would be a good idea to switch my off job computing(personal development)to total libre computing platform. Now i never bought none of RYF laptops provided by GNU.org,simply they are old laptops that corroded long time ago(my opinion at least) and this is first time that we have a chance to have new manufactured RYF certified PC. I am interested in web development with accent on JS(besides html/html5 and css/css3) and interested in performance of the components inside the board.I done various software in GUI game engines and didn't wanted to make mistake when deciding on code that i will spent most of my time on.I decided to go with web option simply because there are more than 1 runner for the code and more than 1 platform that more than 1 runner can be run on. If MALI GPU opensource driver is not available in Libre Tea Computer Card how much would i be able to get on the performance?Now my target resolution would be half of the fullHD(960x540)for the JS games running in Canvas2D or WebGL(2D games mainly)with 30FPS. Also if we do have only microSD card as an option how much would speed be degraded compared to eMMC chip or something similar? Regards and have a nice day ;)
[Trisquel-users] How to clean the entire disk with Trusquel? USA and Russia FBI spy my PC
Hello, my total disk space is 500 GB. I installed Trisquel but I see that my total disk space is 20Gb. Why? I used different ways for installation like a this: I created new table while I am installing Trisquel but it is not help me. I think that hard disk contains vulnerability which help FBI control my pc. I want to clear all disk and install trisquel again. How to do clear all disk, all tables in disk? I installed trisquel 2 days ago again. Total disk space was next to 500GB. But yestrday I see that total disk space 20 GB again. Look attachment. Sometimes I installed trisquel 5 times a day. I am not use libreboot for motherboard but i used trisquel, virtual keyboard and I turned off JavaScript for browser. p.s I use some popular english freelance website for job. In this website I'm turning on javascript so only USA fbi can add viruses in my hard disk for spy me or hard disk have vulnerability. I know that default motherboard can spy keyboard action and process in pc. Governmental virus can be added in pc via the Internet javasript from all websites. Then spy all user action like browser links etc. p.s I was two years ago the Communist Party but then went out, i know that russia fbi spy me. They do not hide their actions because they sure that socialism will no longer be. 60% of the russian budget is the sale of Russian oil and gas to Europe. The average salary in Russia is $ 250 per month.

Everything looks fine. You have a 20 GB partition that holds your system files, a 6.3 GB swap partition, and a 473 GB home partition. Your personal files and settings are in the home partition.
