Re: [Trisquel-users] Posteo vs Tutanota vs OpenMailbox

I use posteo and it works very well for me. The german computermagazine ct' listed them as very good when it comes to privacy and secruity. Link to one article (german): https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/So-funktioniert-E-Mail-made-in-Germany-2188248.html I don't know the others so it'

[Trisquel-users] Black screen on cold boot with full disk encryption

Hello, i recently installed Trisquel on my desktop with full disk encryption. With this setup i experience a strange bug which causes the system to freeze while booting up. The problem is fixed easily by pressing the reset button to repeat the POST. Without disk encryption i did not experience

Re: [Trisquel-users] Black screen on cold boot with full disk encryption

I could solve the issue. There was a problem between vesa and nouveau trying to access my graphics card concurrent at boot time. This ended in a deadlock. It seems that the chipset of my card is wasnt correct recognized by nouveau or vesa. I took a more recent linux-libre kernel and now every

Re: [Trisquel-users] Black screen on cold boot with full disk encryption

It is a nvidia gtx750ti. Before switched over to Trisquel i used the proprietary drivers. But with the newer nouveau releases my Card is (at least to some extent) supported. I will keep using it until i can afford a PC which is ready for free Software. Im thinking of a Thinkpad x200 together w

Re: [Trisquel-users] webmail services

I switched to posteo two weeks ago and i like it a lot! It integrates easy into my existing setup and has easy to understand guidelines. I also like the feature to copy your existing emails into your new account. They integrate gpg support in their webmailer as long as you installed the Mailv

[Trisquel-users] SSD vs. HDD in Librebooted T400

Hey there, I'm looking forward to get myself a librebooted Laptop in the near future and I'm wondering whether I should go for a big HDD or a small but fast SSD. I can't really decide for one option and I would like to hear what you would prefer and why. For me a minimum of 500GB space is

Re: [Trisquel-users] SSD vs. HDD in Librebooted T400

Thanks everyone for your input :-). However one question just came to my mind: What about full disk encryption? I heard that SSDs don't like this because the whole drive appears as if it was full and that the SSD can't do wear leveling. Is there any substance to that? I will use the Laptop p

Re: [Trisquel-users] SSD vs. HDD in Librebooted T400

The article indeed says that an SSD + encryption causes problems in terms of privacy but they haven't given any source or evidence for this claim. Even though I'm still not perfectly sure which setup suits my needs best. Maybe RAID0 with two 1TB HDDs and full disk encryption is the best option

Re: [Trisquel-users] SSD vs. HDD in Librebooted T400

Thank you for your input. I consider either buying a SSD+HDD-Hybrid or i go for RAID with 2 HDDs. But I couldn't decide for one of the options yet.

[Trisquel-users] Compatible hardware for librebooted Systems

Hey, i wonder if there is any recent list for libreboot compatible hardware. For example which RAM/Wireless Modules are known to work with the librebooted Thinkpads. I think a centralized list which not only contains technical information but also some examples for manufacturers would be benef

Re: [Trisquel-users] Libreboot T400 Review!

Another T400 review: I got my Libreboot T400 a few days ago and thought that i could add a short review here too. I bought the T400 from Minifree with 4GiB of RAM and the SSD+HDD option and i got to say the T400 and Minifrees' costumer service is excellent. I got some questions regarding

Hello, I would like to set up a virtual GNU/Linux-Distribution for testing purposes. I read that hardware virtualization doesn't play well with libreboot. Can anyone give me some advice on how to set up a virtualized Trisquel instance? I always used HW-virtualization, so I've got no idea which
