Re: [Trisquel-users] Encrypting SD Card
Only root can write to the encrypted volume, probably because only root has write permissions to the drive/mountpoint. ls -l /media/SDcardMountPoint Personally I like to keep root the owner of the device and create folders with appropriate permissions for users.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Password management
For most internet services I use passwords generated by apg, and they look like https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=password+strength&f1=ev33pe0arpu11w2&f=PasswordStrengthCalculator.password_ev33pe0arpu11w2";>this. The apg string I use is " apg -a 1 -n 3 -x 15 -m 15 -M LN ". This passwords, I store in a password protected LibreOffice Calc document hidden around and with the file type termination removed/changed. For devices (like root or portable) I use passwords created based on the querty keyboard as such: 2-3 letters, 2-3 numbers until I reach 19 characters, each character from the opposite side of the keyboard; then I throw a "special" character inside and replace a couple with something that helps me identify the device. The device passwords I change every six months by changing just 3-4 characters. -- I use: trisquel.info | fsf.org | eff.org | torproject.org | flattr.com | duckduckgo.com | h-node.com | skepdic.com | riseup.net |

Re: [Trisquel-users] Encrypting SD Card
I don't know what that switch actually does but I can tell you that you should be able to mount a read only Luks volume. You can also try formating the SD card with xfs and the create a luks volume inside as such: dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1M count=2000 && losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img && cryptsetup -c aes-xts-essiv:sha256 -y -s 512 luksFormat /dev/loop0 && cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 crypt && cryptsetup status crypt && mkfs.xfs /dev/mapper/crypt && mount -t xfs /dev/mapper/crypt /mnt && chmod o=rwx /mnt Note that count is the size in MiB. To mount you'll do something like: losetup /dev/loop0 disk.img && cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop0 crypt && mount -t xfs /dev/mapper/crypt /mnt For unmount you'll use something like: umount /mnt && cryptsetup luksClose crypt && losetup -d /dev/loop0 -- I use: trisquel.info | ceata.org | fsf.org | riseup.net | duckduckgo.com | eff.org | h-node.com | torproject.org | flattr.com | skepdic.com |

I also use another account for guests; I often create recursive hardlinks from my music or documents so that I wouldn't have to switch or have an awkward moment explaining to the guest whats up with the accounts, in case the guest needs a file of mine or I have to show him a file.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Firewall in Trisquel?
In "please, I need to encrypt this file or i will die" situations encryption itself won't do much, in those situations one would need to use steganography or some form of plausible deniability. The only feature that could be tempting in Truecrypt is the hidden volume option; when I tested that in the past on a big HDD with lots of files it failed miserably, thats not to say that is never working but I completely lost my confidence of the product. This combined with the licensing issues, I wouldn't recommend it for any user case. -- I use: trisquel.info | ceata.org | fsf.org | riseup.net | duckduckgo.com | eff.org | h-node.com | torproject.org | airvpn.org | flattr.com | skepdic.com |

Re: [Trisquel-users] Firewall in Trisquel?
RequestPolicy is good only in theory. In practice when RequestPolicy is enabled you basically broke all sites you visit and you have to spend seconds if not minutes to establish policies for each new site you visit; also, you end up allowing "Blocked destinations" at random until you end up with the content you need from the page. For me RequestPolicy was just a huge waste of time; a good cookie and referer control, HTTPS Everywhere, No NoScript and AdBlockPlus should be enough. -- I use: trisquel.info | ceata.org | fsf.org | riseup.net | duckduckgo.com | eff.org | h-node.com | torproject.org | airvpn.org | flattr.com | skepdic.com |
Re: [Trisquel-users] Batch rename -- Auto rename
For the torrent issue, you can remove the '.!ut'; add the torrent to your torrent client, setting the new path and let him do a filecheck of the torrent. After that you can move the torrent files from within the torrent client to another location and it will move only the verified files from the torrent so you can safely remove the possible junk files. For performing batch rename I prefer Thunar's renamer (thunar). Why would you want to put all you're backups in the same directory ? I use BackInTime for backups and " cp -a backintime /pathToNewFolder " to move my backup folder from one drive to another.
