Re: [Trisquel-users] A mail provider based in Bulgaria, using 100% open source software, Tor-friendly and no javascript friendly.
openmailbox is subject to the Charlie law. It requires javascript to open an account. It has a google tracker. It requires you to provide an email address for you to open an account. It doesn't have an onion hidden instance. Ruggedinbox has a few limits: - 30 outgoing emails per day - 1 outgoing email every 3 minutes I see no limits in it.. Besides Openmailbox has grown rapidly. They already have about 130 000 users at the moment. So?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Conky weather, RSS etc.
Thanks, I found also another one that I like as well (the icons): http://hernanarce.deviantart.com/art/Conky-Gnow-multilang-505074617 Also it's working with openweathermap. For the icons, I changed the conky so that it points toward my personal folder instead of conky-manager (which I don't need to install). But I have a problem with the xml. XML Parsing Error: not well-formed I have curl installed, I have the API key and city code.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
try SMTube for streaming YT vids and also set it so the right click of the mouse downloads the vid with youtube-dl. simple, fast and comfortable!

thx for the link!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
Thanks, I'll try it. Is it better than my current setup? I have noscript and requestpolicy running, and I sometimes allow some javascript through in order to either watch online or download, if I can't watch. SMTube can work with zero javascript?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
jdenz -> sudo netstat -tulpn will give you the info. If I recall correctly the process tor on Trisquel *is* indeed running all the time but it only listens to local host so, no biggy.. cheers!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
SMTube is not a plugin for your browser but... SMTube is an application that allows to browse, search and play YouTube videos. Videos are played back with a media player (by default SMPlayer) instead of a flash player, this allows better performance, particularly with HD content. You will need to install the latest version though (the one in the Trisquel repo does not work). You can download the .deb from the website but I highly recommend you compile it from source (it's easy). The latest source is here -> http://sourceforge.net/projects/smtube/files/SMTube/15.5/smtube-15.5.17.tar.bz2
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
Ok, so by default there's no js. And since it doesn't work with any online video, youtube-dl, as a program, is supposed to work without js as well, right? I doubt a bit about that since when I put a URL in, it displays images where it doesn't if I disable js. I got it from the ppa and it works for now, should I compile anyway?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Advertising Trisquel & FLOSS
Well, the list of computers you can install libreboot on is growing -> http://www.libreboot.org/docs/hcl/index.html#supported_list The greatest thing about the gluglug's X200 however is not libreboot but the fact they managed to successfully remove ME and AMT, the Intel's Management Engine system, and Intel's Active Management Technology firmware, thus making a truly libre laptop (a one that is not backdoored) and a hardware that truly respects your freedom. And this is why AFAIC there is only the gluglug's X200 out there and all the rest is just standard hardware you can NOT absolutely trust. All the rest is just "free software friendly", that is to say works with a 100% libre OS, aka "laptops with a wifi adapter that requires no non-free firmware and an integrated INTEL GPU for 3D acceleration, if you need 3D acceleration.." https://www.fsf.org/news/libreboot-x200-laptop-now-fsf-certified-to-respect-your-freedom cheers!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
I think trusting ppas and external (to your OS repository) .debs is a naive way of doing your computing. Giving root privilege at the installation to some random software is not a very bright way to go. But then again that's just me. SMTube just like minitube (which now requires a google api key to perform the installation) doesn't require js and it is an application separated from and external to your browser. No js and no flash. It just allows you to browse and search for the YT vids, it then opens the vid with your video player of choice (vlc, smtube, totem etc..) and also to download them (with a nifty trick, being that YT new policy forbids to the developers to include the function to download the vids by default). cheers!
[Trisquel-users] Re : A mail provider based in Bulgaria, using 100% open source software, Tor-friendly and no javascript friendly.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Conky weather, RSS etc.
The conkyrc file is messy. Everything is put together. I made some changes to the original file to get it to display weather forecast and city name correctly. Now working on that big current temperature to be displayed on the top right corner. Here is a screenshot and the conkyrc file as a text file.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A mail provider based in Bulgaria, using 100% open source software, Tor-friendly and no javascript friendly.
Plus most corporate users you'll communicate with will be using gmail, yahoo mail etc. Might as well use one of those too (not anonymous nor privacy-friendly, but secure enough, even with js enabled). The true advantage of ruggedinbox (not being forced to use javascript and maybe Tor) is indeed rendered impractical in that case anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
there is no tor process running on my machine all the time. Unless its from installing icecat which I don't use.
Re: [Trisquel-users] A mail provider based in Bulgaria, using 100% open source software, Tor-friendly and no javascript friendly.
Let me add one that you may not be using or have heard of... posteo.de They have something called cryptomail which encrypts your whole email. and that isn't all either... :) and they have 0 trackers on their website at least to my knowledge. Although their is a 1$ fee per month which might turn some of you off. but 1$ a month is nothing compared to startmail's 60$ a year :) my point? look at it you may like it. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat question

Re: [Trisquel-users] Conky weather, RSS etc.
I tried yours, and it's a bit better. Now I have ° everywhere instead of nothing. Some icons are somehow displayed, but they're not where they should be (not displayed in the screenshot because I roughly Gimped it). Maybe it's because of my custom conky positioning.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
Your browser problems have nothing to do with being libre though because you would have the same issues on any operating system. Its frustrating and overwhelming for the best of experts. After a while from experience you can take better guesses at what domains you have to allow for certain functions on a webpage and which are just trackers. If you are worried about noscripts whitelistdelete all the whitelisted pages in settings. Thats good security practice anyways because a hacker did demonstrate a couple weeks ago that one of the white listed certs or addresses had expired and he bought it for 5 dollars and put malicious code on it and noscript was whitelisting it. As for watching videos on tor, it never seems to be a problem, but i really don't use tor much except for logging into and clicking links from websites like this one, since its associated with people on IRC, as one example.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
You didn't need to add a url, its in the official repos.It works on most websites for me. All I do is type, from the command line, youtube-dl websiteurl.com and presto. puts it on the desktop.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
That's a very, very good point, thanks. I was so focused on "libre browsing" that I missed this simple fact somehow. I'm starting to get used to Noscript and RequestPolicy. I'll try to find a way to let the latter allow images and css by default though (or a good alternative). Thanks for the whitelist cleaning tip.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
Well its best to only use ppa that are well known and used by many, and are by reputable maintainers. I would never recommend some obscure software from a ppa noone has ever heard of it, imo its best if he just uses youtube-dl from the offical trisquel repos. Its also very easy to use.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
youtube-dl doesn't work for me yet, I probably did something wrong. I'll try again, but first I'll delete my ppas and start to learn how to compile if I can't get it from the repo. My quick experience with smtube seems great for youtube (at least I don't have to allow any js). But not so much for other websites. Well if youtube-dl works (I mean with any website or so), that should do it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
ya its in the official repos, I haven't had problems with it yet. Only time it didn't work for me was on espn.com, but thats understandable. You have to sing in with your cable company account to view it and its probably drm or something.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
For example: www.watchcartoononline.com/ (not working with https). It doesn't seem to work with smtube. And it seems I didn't install youtube-dl properly, so I can't try yet.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I believe it is real, just sharing my anecdote.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Conky weather, RSS etc.
Yes, but since it's yahoo, and since I won't be using the weather of a place I don't visit frequently (that's data in their server), it's safe to assume that it will use that data anyway. At least openweathermap seems to operate with the user in mind (even though they use facebook sharebuttons and google fonts). Of course it's not THAT important, but it's interesting to know how things work. Plus that way I won't feed a-holes. About the anonymity, the only challenge would be maybe to make the openweathermap believe that it's not my computer that's making the request. Maybe through Tor, I don't really know. Not vitally important, but interesting nonetheless.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat question
After the last actualization SpyBlock stop working I don't know what is the problem but I assume we can wait for the next IceCat update...for the moment I replace it with ABEdge including only the first SpyBlock list (http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/blacklist.txt) the third-party list doesn't work automatically when starts a private browsing session but you can use it manually. SpyBlock is a simple fork of the last ADBLOCK version with GNU block lists.

ye i can't find the actual url to the videos in the page source to use from that site. just some embedded ones that won't work.It sure is pretty sketchy too you're right lol. lots of ads and popups and scripts everywhere.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Conky weather, RSS etc.
Yes.. The idea of having in my conky something pinging to a server and revealing my approximate position doesn't make me feel good.. That is why my conky contains only date, time, ram, cpu and network usage and the top processes. It's all I need. If I want to know what's the weather like I open the window.. :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Yes. We are talking about Icecat and its tor implementation. Abrowser doesn't have it. The tor package gets installed when you install Icecat. You can remove it if you don't want it though, and keep Icecat. Tor browser bundle is much better anyway.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
I was not talking about youtube-dl. I know that package is in the repos. I was referring to smtube. The version of smtube in the repos doesn't work. He will have to compile it or trust the deb.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
sudo apt-get install youtube-dl to download a vid from any of the sites supported (https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html), you just need the url of the vid and in terminal: youtube-dl url example youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMpGdG27K9o This is how you compile smtube -> being that the package "smtube" is in the repos you can take advantage of the command: sudo apt-get build-dep smtube On Debian 8 a further pdependency was needed: sudo apt-get install libqtwebkit-dev Now you have everything you need in order to compile it. You cd to the folder of the source code and: qmake make that will build the application and you'll find the executable in the folder. If you want to install it system wide: sudo make install
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I see interesting. is there a button for tor in icecat? to toggle it on or off? and also i'm curious is there an apparmor profile for it anywhere?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
I never thought about locking the database access if some script(s) isn't enabled. Most likely ads. I guess I'll try to find an alternative.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
Thanks a lot SuperTramp83! So the build-dep is supposed to get the dependencies, ok. Then I'm supposed to get the package to compile from sourceforge. And extract it. But I found other commands in other tutorials, like ./configure and not qmake. About the install system wide: that means for all users?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
i'm not sure what you mean by locking the database access?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Conky weather, RSS etc.
Isn't there a way to prevent that? Like checking the weather from Tor browser? Or even torrefying that ping process, or spoofing it? But yeah, I can probably live without it, though that would suck.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Data protection vs useability
Like, preventing the access to the data (video in that case). I mean when js is on, I must click on the ad to access to the video reader (to be able to press play). Since the URL is locked until some js is enabled (and some ad is clicked), there must be some "if" condition to complete in order to display the video player/URL. I wonder if it's possible to bypass that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] FCC Rules might force Wifi router vendors to lockdown their firmware!
Apparently some people ACT PARANOIAC AND draw conclusions, without BOTHERING RESEARCHING INTO THE MATTER. The FCC is only wanting to control VERY SPECIFIC items, like transmission power and frequency. The FCC has zero interest in any other aspect of the devices. The FCC ONLY cares about the settings that have any (direct) impact on the RF transmissions. Too Simple, read the FCC article.
Re: [Trisquel-users] FCC Rules might force Wifi router vendors to lockdown their firmware!
To be honest, I'm inclined to expect this to be the case... I mean, the "new" rule in question is actually a year old (even though devices can still be sold under the old rules for another year, if I read the page correctly), so if freedom-respecting firmware is forbidden because of it, why hasn't the FSF or EFF said anything about it? I think it's ridiculous that the FCC would require certain hardware to be defective by design; if some modifications can cause a problem, those behaviors themselves should be made illegal, and the only thing vendors should be required to do, maybe, is inform consumers that those behaviors are illegal. Still, it looks to me like the fear of alternative operating systems being forbidden might be unjustified.
