Hi everyone,
I can't seem to sign into Firefox sync in IceCat. I know i've got the correct
password and everytime I try to sign in it just says Working and then
Unexpected error.
Does anyone know a way around this or a way to fix it?
Thanks!
The Purism line stands for freedom in the deepest sense. The hardware isn't
100% final yet, and the bits that aren't yet free are in the process of
being made that way.

I don't understand your logic.
Running a DRM'd piece of proprietary software is the same as running a
non-DRM'd piece of proprietary software.
If you're going to use non-DRM'd games, you might as well indulge in DRM'd
games, and you might as well install Windows.

if you install a little bit proprietary software on your system, you will
install more and more, and more.

I have an external backup of all my personal data, in case my house burns
down. It is done the following way :
tar zcvf - FOLDER_TO_BACKUP | gpg -c FOLDER_TO_BACKUP.tar.gz.gpg
This is a simple method. It uses symmetric encryption, so I only need to
remember a passphrase - no messing
It's good that you try to improve your freedom-situation, but my experience
is:
if you install a little bit proprietary software on your system, you will
install more and more, and more.
Just because there is this thought like: oh well, one application more or
less won't make any
Cannot edit first message. Oh well. I think I mistyped the command (and
seem to remember that there's an xkcd somewhere about tar syntax :)):

yep. it's everywhere.it is directly feeding the nsa and everybody else
willing to pay for that info.. and it's disgusting.

about this. As far as I know no one here got a solution
Proprietary graphics drivers usually have a free part in the kernel,
this one has too. limedriver.org aims to replace the nonfree userspace

Software with DRM prevents the user from running their software. Software
with no DRM does not. DRM itself is pure evil and worth avoiding.
I have to question the value of using GOG or Desura as a replacement for
Steam though. Many Steam games do not appear in GOG or Desura's catalog, or

The researcher is saying it is a bug not a backdoor, that allowed for
directory traversal and possible an exploit.
More on this:

Keep in mind Heartbleed was also a bug but convenient enough that it may
have been used as a backdoor.

Cool, it would be nice to find any projects like this and post them here for
anyone who might be interested in helping on the effort.
It seems like you can use duplicity with a passphrase instead of a key if
that's what you would like.
Ubuntu wiki has a script for it explaining your problem of if computer is
destroyed as well:

Nice.
I also found some successful attempts at firmware modification, doesn't make
much sense to me but probably is a wealth of knowledge to those who do...

A security researcher said that there is virtually no evidence of any
backdoor. I don't understand these technical matters. Could someone who
understands explain?

Yes, that's the one. I think they're developing their own SSD though, not
reverse engineering existing ones.
If nothing has changed, it's about as good in the freedom dimension as Think

As you may have heard in the news recently, Western Digital, Seagate, and

Again, Running a DRM'd piece of proprietary software is essentially the same
as running a non-DRM'd piece of proprietary software.
Either way, you're running proprietary software.

games, and you might as well install
