I know I won't, Even if, there shouldn't be much to find ;) And of course, full encryption is still needed. But I want to make Trisquel cleaner and safer by totally cleaning all traces of what I have done before. But I agree with you ;)

The solution is still to encrypt the drive rather than hope you find every single little thing. You won't.

Thanks to everyone who replied. However, no one actually suggested a way to get what I needed. I know encryption is good, and I know not letting strangers in my apartment is good, and I know that if a bad guy gets access to my computer he can do many nasty things I just don't know how

You never write a document and safe it? I don't know; if someone gets access to my pc, he's in my apartment and can see what books I read and can check out my personal scripts on my desk. And honestly, that's ok. I want to be somehow existent in this world and for me, the risk of someone

And file a bug with the program. It isn't even in Trisquel's repositories

The decryption key for the DVD needs to be stored somewhere. Besides: if someone has physical access to your computer then you have much bigger problems than them knowing what you've watched because they have access to your whole computer and everything on it. Instead, use full disk

Yeah, ultimately, the only way to make your files secure in the event of theft is to encrypt your hard drive.

Hello all. Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. Well, I understand most things that were said, but here are some key facts: 1. I don't store anything in my computer (no files nor anything personal). 2. I clean the system regularly with BleachBit. 3. I don't use autosave passwords options.

The problem with DRM is that some laws, namely those that implement the WIPO copyright treaty (such as the DMCA in the United States), forbid circumventing it. DeCSS has been expressly ruled to be illegal, in violation of the DMCA. libdvdcss hasn't, but it probably would be if it was brought

If anyone gets access to my computer, one of the few things they could learn was actually what DVDs I have watched. And this underscores what I said earlier: Use full disk encryption and lock the computer when you're away. Matter solved. It also saves you time by not needing to use

Hey everyone. I'm in a hurry now, but I will give more details later if needed. Basically, when you allow the system to show hidden files and such, you will notice in your home directory a couple of folders appear, I believe these are used by various programs like gimp and openshot, to keep

You could make .dvdcss require root access to write to. That would be pretty easy. I don't know if that would break the CSS library, though.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Scramble_System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libdvdcss. Your DVDs contain DRM. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if removing it will keep you from playing your DVDs, but it might.
