Since software is proprietary by default the burden of proof lies on the
party claiming something is free.

Perhaps a new clearly worded bug should be filed which wouldn't mention a
firewall, unlike the old one that's marked won't fix. I'm all for removing
ssh because I doubt most people will use it and because it presents an attack
surface.
Thank you for the fix.
Pitivi render perfectly in WebM.

Lately I don't trust RSA too much...

I think by SHA-256 as a minimum he means you should go higher. SHA-512 is
pretty fair :P
First I would like to apologize for the long topic subject. Second, for those
who have my public key added to their keyrings, I'm thinking about changing
keys.
Well, to make it short: Which one is the most secure in each case?
– DSA for signing with El Gamal for encrypting, or RSA for both?
Ha, I definitely should have noticed this before, except I don't use Trisquel
as my main desktop. It's been busy though...
gnu@PC:/var/log$ grep -ir ssh /var/log/*

WOW, this is a major issue. Not because it's SSH, but because it's the MOST
INSECURE SSH setup I've ever seen. Just tested scanning my local area network
running a Trisquel box. It runs on a default port with password based
authentication (no KEYS!). What this means essentially is any script
That's great to know, I've used ShareLatex before.
So Trisquel is an operating system which, for three years now according to
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/ssh-server-enabled-default, has allowed for
the installation of a desktop environment, which one could logically assume
will be widely used by people who may not be versed in services and
The ssh server should only be installed if the user needs it.
It should not be installed by default and clearly not if someone chooses
against an installation.
Every server service is a possible security risk and running an ssh server
without using it is stupid.

I don't know anything about the project except of the fact that its purpose
sounds very useful but I clearly will try it.
Please contribute to the project as much as you can afford.
You want me to improve Trisquel just like you do? All your hard work in the
code and helping Ruben ship out Trisquel? Oh wait... you don't.
This distro is struggling financially and the situation hasn't improved in
the 2+ years I have been here. Is it really that wise to tell people to leave
You misread that. I was speaking to people who might use the dismissive
behavior as an example of a fault in the free software movement in general,
not to people who speak in that sort of dismissive way.
You can use Blender for video editing and compositing. It also offers camera
tracking.
You can disable it and also block the ssh port.

Like I said before, both Debian and Ubuntu find it free enough to include in
their main repos but you disagree. You were making finalized claims about
something without actually doing the research yourself and instead claiming
it to be non-free without actually being 100% sure.
I and some other Trisquel users think that the SSH server running by default
is an issue. We've expressed our concerns at
https://trisquel.info/en/issues/2451 and maybe in other forum threads.
Why should I prove Chromium is free? Do you think it's a conspiracy that it
isn't included in Trisquel? Do you not trust the developers either?
I recently used Pitivi. It really is user friendly and has a huge potential.
That said, in the version provided in Trisquel 6, I could not export a video
that includes pictures (in addition to video and audio files). The preview
worked. Not the export.
The Pitivi project is very close to re

Actually, SSH server is enabled by default in every Trisquel installation.
Trisquel enviroment will include it too because you're asking the default

I agree with your states except that I hate ads and marketing just because

There's not a huge difference between the usefulness and success of projects
that describe themselves as "free software" and projects that describe
themselves as "open source". "Open source" is more popular, so that's why
there are more success stories where the developers use the term "open

I agree that Debian gets too much flak from the FSF even though the non-free
repo is optional and usually not enabled by default. Also, the Linux kernel
doesn't include non-free firmware by default (unlike Ubuntu) and requires the
installation of non-free kernel firmware from the non-free re

I highly doubt that's the reason for Debian being successful... are you
forgetting that most GNU/Linux systems out there don't have a policy at all,
and only around 10 in total are more strict than Debian?
I don't know the history behind Debian's success, but I'm sure it's not as
simple as
"And the company behind Debian is? Possibly the largest free software/open
source project on earth."
Come on, usually Debian is considered to be the unholy dirt of linux
