Re: [Trisquel-users] uruk gnu/linux 2.0 beta-2
With Uruk2.0_i686
Re: [Trisquel-users] uruk gnu/linux 2.0 beta-2
I have downloaded uruk 2.0 (Beta 2)- 32 bit, hope that it will use less ram memory than Uruk 2.0_64 (beta 1). I am frustrated. Because they uses same usage of memory. I knew that 32 bit OS uses less ram space than 64 bit. -- In normal mode Uruk 2.0_64 (beta 1) uses > 575mb Uruk 2.0_i686 (beta 2) uses > > 545mb --- But in previous Uruk 1.0_64 uses > 450mb Uruk 1.0_i686 uses > 300mb --- I was happy with Uruk 1.0. But It is not up-to-date now. Uruk 2.0 up-to-date. But it is suitable for >4gb ram. (my ram= 2gb)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I refuse to buy from Technoethical?
I would say, something should happen, outright banning seems extreme on first flame, but there should be some penalties... I guess? for nonstop-flaming. It's one thing if it happens once, but if it is in your nature meaning it happens a lot, somethings gotta give... you know? something has to be done... also, if anyone wants to troll, at least do it in the troll-lounge... with a few exceptions of course...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
Yes, citizen.cam.de or searx.me are good ones. I use searx pretty much on a regular basis. Duckduckgo at least from the cipher reading I see on my browser shows that those two searx instances i mentioned are superior in security to duckduckgo's ciphers even if duckduckgo is easier to use for the average person and is more flashy. unless there are more layers that I am unaware of... feel free to check.

One can add more search engines in >Preferences>Engine Usually setting a cookie can improve to keep these selected preferences https://searx.laquadrature.net/preferences Duckgo & Searx (Quadrature du net) both provide via Tor searx : http://searchb5a7tmimez.onion/ DuckDuckgo : http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/

I have used ecosia but i didn't saw that was free software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
I admit that I am using DDG and startpage, but I hate the fact that they are proprietary. I used Searx for some time, but I found many of the searches to be insufficient. I think I'll give it at try again, though. Are there good tips on how to enhance searches?

Vikings makes a good comment to this further down. I can just speak for my self: If I were to be ultimately judged on my wrongdoings, I would be very lonely

When flidas repository will complete? When uruk 2.0 will come with xfce4? I am waiting but needed quickly.

searx for life! this is a nice idea too :)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
+1 for Searx. Great tool! (but I like DDG as well :-) )
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
Good point, but I still want to make DuckDuckGo my main search engine, because if growth continues at the current rate, at least it will serve as a competitor to Google in the future, which will provide an opportunity for more public interest/funding in personal privacy/open source.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Stallman and tor
RMS was on the internet before most of us were even born. I have used the Internet since it first existed. I never used UUCP, though occasionally I sent emails to addresses that involved transmission via UUCP. https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html

Searx is the way to go
[Trisquel-users] Re : Stallman and tor
Of course he was using the Internet. Stallman receives/sends *many* emails, what requires the Internet. You are actually talking about browsing the Web. Here is how he accesses the Web: I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation). I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that is enough to prevent my browsing from being connected with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods. https://stallman.org/stallman-computing.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I refuse to buy from Technoethical?
> Calling the OP a troll casts a toxic cloud of doubt and distrust over your opinion piece. Oh wow, I find that a tad bit exaggerated. Anyway, perhaps you're right and they aren't a troll, in that case I'd apologize. =) My troll-o-meter was ringing though. > That said, I'm pretty much against all user aggrevations/vendor disputes on a public forum. I think I understand where you're coming from. I see this differently though, especially given that our community is a small one and this is one a the few places where people with a similar mindset group together. A wide range of topics, voicing opinions and the one or the other small controversy is what this forum also should be for because it helps others to form their own opinions and engage in discussions they otherwise wouldn't have. So if someone misbehaves a bit in your point of view you can decide not to listen/buy/whatever to/from them. I'm not at all talking about bringing a gun to a knife fight, I'm talking about having an interaction with people. Some people seem to have unlearned this or they need special treatment because they have low social skills or a special snowflake syndrome. So if you read this and think this Vikings dude is a jerk, then you're free to disagree with me or not like my opinion/myself or you can try to convince me that I'm wrong if you think it's worth your time. I'm completely neutral about it. Excluding discussions that are a bit on the rough side would be censorship, from time to time it's even necessary to have one in order to move on. I admit that I stopped reading those specific rant-threads because I thought it didn't lead anywhere *at all* and someone was stepping over my imaginary line of decency. So what. Yawn. Personally I prefer an ostensibly calm and amicable environment, people respecting each other on an at least basic human level and also a good culture of discussion and not other people wanting to shut you down. Despite that bit of ranting I still believe that this forum and 99% of its users are within my personal ideal environment.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I refuse to buy from Technoethical?
To be fair despite starting with "OP/troll" the post's tone afterwards is not really bad.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Because of Trisquel 7, I have abandoned Google for DuckDuckGo, its default search.
The bigger they grow the closer they will be in semblance and behaviour. I can still remember how Google was an underdog search engine "do no evil" -- just like DDG now.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I refuse to buy from Technoethical?
Calling the OP a troll casts a toxic cloud of doubt and distrust over your opinion piece.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I refuse to buy from Technoethical?
From what I've seen, heard and read Technoethical as a source of your libre-friendly computing is to be highly recommended. I've met Tiberiu personally on FOSDEM this year and I found him knowledgable, friendly and professional. So what the OP/troll actually seems to be asking is if people in this company are absolutely perfect human beings or if they have personal flaws because they've read about some ranting, strong opinions and whatnot. Perhaps, no, most likely they do have flaws. Then again who doesn't. Strong opinions? Oh please yes! You don't have to agree with someone else at all times and it is/can be refreshing to get thoughts from outside your box even if you don't agree at all. I certainly don't agree with Tiberiu on all topics. Then again I also certainly don't agree on all topics with my wife, family, friends, postman. So what, that's life. So move along please, nothing to see here. OT: > until just recently when she asked me to stop selling D16 We were asked that as well and I see that a bit differently. It is conjecturable that it's been asked in "innocent naivety". Supposedly the intention was not to hurt TALOS II sales by stopping D16 sales world-wide. This is generally honourable, but our world doesn't work this way IMO. Especially given that TALOS II and the D16 are playing in a very, very different ballpark money-wise. What's more, AFAIK TALOS II is, aside from enthusiasts, mostly going for the business and research market whereas the D16 is, because of its low price, more targeted towards private individuals. IMO there need to be more places where people can buy D16s workstations and servers, we're barely able to keep pace with the orders we get.
Re: [Trisquel-users] an observation about YouTube
It has nothing to do with net neutrality. Net neutrality is about companies which provide the service of routing traffic. YouTube does much more than that, including storing the videos and indexing them for search. It's their servers, so they have a right to take down videos from them. The same goes for MediaGoblin instance owners.
Re: [Trisquel-users] an observation about YouTube
The latest version of IE that can run on Windows Vista is version 9. That version was released in 2011, when HTML5 was in its infancy. Vista itself was released when YouTube itself (using the old Flash video player) was new. So yeah, the fact that it even works with YouTube's HTML+JavaScript player at all is kind of miraculous.
