Re: [Trisquel-users] email without encryption

I forgot to upload IceCat's warning -- here it is

[Trisquel-users] email without encryption

[adel . afzal]

I signed up for an account with a local email provider.  I logged into the  
webmail, and noticed that it used http (and not https).  I asked the  
administrator about it; he told me that the danger is merely theoretical, and  
that no one has been compromised in these circumstances.


I connected the account to my email client, and the client showed me this:

Incoming: POP3, [...] No Encryption
Outgoing: SMTP, [...] No Encryption

I clicked Done, and then the email client showed me a warning about  
insecure mail servers (screen capture attached).  I decided not to use the  
account for now.


Could you guys comment on this situation?  Is IceDove's warning correct?

How did you curl'd the live streams? Any special option or parameter that you  
had to insert? For example with the m3u8 links that were specified above, are  
you able to curl them?

Okay, what should I do here?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Lavabit founder has stopped using email

[lovexdrew]

Tor + GPG + sever in a country called Not America is the way to go. Running  
your own server is okay, but very very very few people can or will do that.  
Ideally, a system without severs in the first place would be best.  
Distributed systems. Right now the only thing established like that is  
i2p-bote. Bitmessage exists but it has problems and is not done yet.

I totally agree with 'Chris'! Freedom has a price: we need to change our  
habits about computer use, (and it isn't difficult to do). 

Re: [Trisquel-users] email without encryption

There's a grain of truth to it: you can't necessarily trust some stranger  
running a mail server to keep your mail secret. Governments can demand that  
they turn over their private key, and then all of your email is compromised  
the same way it would be if your HTTP connection had been snooped. That's why  
you should use end-to-end encryption (e.g. GnuPG). Still, saying that TLS is  
unnecessary is a very strange attitude. It at least means that cooperation  
with the server owner is required to snoop on your email.

Significantly, ships now turn red like they're supposed to, finally.

Re: [Trisquel-users] email without encryption

I wouldn't use such an account, personally. Even if the provider is totally  
legit, your communication with their servers is being done entirely in  
cleartext. It's standard practise to at least enable TLS on SMTP, POP3 and  
IMAP connections these days. And personally, I'd insist on HTTPS for webmail,  
too.


The warnings are there for a reason.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Nvidia GeForce GT 720 - Will it work?

[g . smyli]

I did follow instructions right down the line (didn't need the 'little bash  
function.') Ran $sudo apt-get install linux-libre64 linux-libre64-header and  
$ sudo update-grub and rebooted. It looks like it is going to work, though I  
see a message for a moment something about 'nouveau fault a' but none the  
less it shows that Trisquel splash screen which I think might be showing at  
the right resolution but then it just goes white.

Any ideas?
I attached text file with configs and Xorg.0.log.old.
