Since today, I couldn't connect to Pidgin so I do my daily log in to Freenode
webchat. As with Thunderbird, I can connect but from time to time I get a
system notification (the one on the upper right corner that pops up) that I
am being disconnected. Now, I am getting hunch that I might be
If VPN is an option, go with it.
I am experiencing a good service from airvpn.org
If VPN is not an option then Tor is probably your best option.
...assuming your problem is censorship related and not a poor ISP service.

Thanks! Hopefully Dubai bodies aren't as agressive with Tor as with US.

The US isn't aggressive with Tor, except maybe the NSA internally.
In fact many universities in the US run Tor nodes, which is ideal
because they have very fast internet access.

Well then that's good.
Amazing! Nothing has changed (month later) in terms of security updates.
Think about what you said. Makes you wonder...
Just now I got some upgrade for the following packages:
cups cups-bsd cups-client cups-common cups-ppdc ffmpeg gnupg gpgv
libav-tools libavcodec53 libavdevice53 libavfilter2 libavformat53
libavutil51 libcups2 libcupscgi1 libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 libcupsppdc1
libcurl3 libcurl3-gnutls
Libreplanet 2015 will take place March 21-22, in Cambridge, MA.
The Call for Sessions is open until Sunday, November 2nd.
Volunteers are needed on location and elsewhere.

These updates showed up on my Trisuel 6 too, but it can't download the
packages from us.archive.trisquel.info.
I tried an upgrade of Trisquel 7, and apt-get cannot download any
updates from us.archive.trisquel.info (404 not found) on all.
I've filed a bug about the missing updates

I downloaded some of them (Trisquel 7 now). Surely there must be a way to
solve these mirroring problems? I've seen it quite a bit in Trisquel but
never in other distros.
For example: a non-free software proprietor stops software/security updates
to old-format, and introduces new-format, to encourage everyone to buy
new-software.
Links to articles would be great if you know of any.
It's a free communication protocol, right?
Microsoft? They abandoned .doc and switched to OOXML (although .doc support
is still there)
I'd say so, if it uses any of the free internet protocols, pop, smtp, or
imap. Not sure about special protocols used in MS Exchange, Groupwise,
or the like.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email#Message_format for the format.
Hi,
After entering a password and email address on the paypal login page and
hitting the 'submit' button, icecat is unresponsive. I get loading,
please wait', then nothing. When I close the browser session and try
opening a new one, I get 'icecat is not responding..., and have to use
Try commenting out lines from
/usr/lib/icecat/browser/defaults/preferences/vendor-icecat.js. Issues with
IceCat are usually caused by some of the privacy settings in that file.
Thanks dude!
Just joined in volunteering!
Does Tox.im use a free communication protocol? I suppose that because it's
free software, anyone can figure out how the protocol works?
In practice, at the moment, only Tox.im uses its protocol right?
Best example: the microsoft works database.
Microsoft works is an old office suite which has been abandoned years ago.
If you have stored all your data in works formats, then good luck trying to
convert them!
I know that it's pretty hard when it comes to the database files.
Any other ideas on how to learn self-defense?

Appleworks is a great example.
The current version of iWork cannot open the older Appleworks format. Older
versions of iWork that can read them are not available from Apple and may be
difficult to come by and the PowerPC translation layer, Rosetta cannot be

Are you also using the latest Pidgin?

I would say that's an improvement as .doc, .xls, and .ppt were binary and not
standardized. At least with the new formats, they are XML based and more open
even if Microsoft doesn't follow the ISO standard.
I use Debain on my ARM boxen and always go for the uk debian.org server
because some of the less well known servers can be dodgy like this. By

ISTR a web article by an author/writer back in the day about how by the time
of Office 95 Microsoft had abandoned Word v2 format. He was annoyed to say
the least, because as a writer he needed long term access to his text.
Fortunately he hadn't thrown away the old computer with Word 2 on.

IMO email, formerly e-mail or electronic mail, is a communication
method not a protocol per se. Protocols are used
