You raise a lot of good questions.  Questions everyone should be asking.  If we do not stop the erosion of our rights we will loose them and getting them back will come at a great price. Freedom is not free.  If everyone spent just 2 hours a week getting involved then we can stay free and mayb

Mark, That is a pid 10878; you can use the command: # lsof to see all of the files and threads open on your system; piping to grep for pid # or process name. This is a root owned rsync --server process, as you said associated with backuppc. Not a lot more to talk about? But if you would like t

Re: OT: "enhanced interrogation" (was: Re: HackFest Series: TrueCrypt is Now Detectable)

Yeah, that's why TrueCrypt's ability to "hide" the volume on a device is so awesome. The idea is, people don't realize anything is even there to BE encrypted. One thing I was reading about with regard to plausible deniability is to hide your volumes inside of other files. For example, I have a jum

Re: OT: "enhanced interrogation" (was: Re: HackFest Series: TrueCrypt is Now Detectable)

Wouldn't one problem with your plan be is that the file size would be different? Of course that would only matter if the person looking knew the typical size, or the software checking the drive wasn't doing file size checks on known files. Gotta wonder what Anti-virus software would make of the fil

I made the file, I didn't overwrite an existing one. Yes, it's possible to find the file, but it's hard to figure out what it is (since TrueCrypt leaves no headers although the topic the thread WAS detection). The idea, more than anything, is that I can say I have no idea what the extra file i

Someone who has never known anything but Windoze and who wants to try (or has been talked into trying) Linux wants to do so with an absolute guarantee that their precious Windoze installation won't be hurt or permanently affected. If Ubuntu is the trial distro, that means either a live CD or W

Re: Why Wubi is the stupidest idea in Linux history...NOT!

The problem is that most users will not see the upgrade path when they are ready for it, leaving them at the will of the windwos boot loader utnil it goes kaput and their ubuntu install is at the will of a fussy ntfs filesystem. Imo wubi gives a new user a small paddle boat to get out to the main
