Can TTY be accessed before user access? Login doesn't produce anything but the black screen. So: not that I can tell. (But again, neophyte).

I've opened https://trisquel.info/en/issues/12811 to establish why Exaile isn't in the Belenos repos. With the new release and new build and contribution systems it could have just fallen through the cracks. If that's the case then sometime after the new build and contribution system is ful

Not for this bug I hope. There's a range of bypasses in the upstream bug report and as the original reporter there has said in the past few days - he's been running with this bug all this time and not had any problems from it.

A self-hosted cloud isn't the same as a self-hosted website since you're the only one accessing it from outside and hence traffic is lower. Most isp allow it i guess. The real problem is that it's a pain in the neck setting it up und maintaining the cloud in a secure way. You have enough prob

Debian cares alot about software freedom and they contributed more than any other project out there. You wouldn't have a free operating system without them, would you? Well, maybe you could use 'parabola' or 'dragora'' - good luck with those two.
