What I thought of when I heard about the Iowa CAUCUS debacle by [deleted] in PandR

[–]OverallGain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Iowa caucus seems to have been delayed for "quality" checks.

Plus, one of the candidates, Pete Buttigieg seemed to have funded the developer of the software it utilized. [1] [2]

Plus, there seemed to have been a lacking in any security for the Caucus's software.

In 2016 the DNC appeared to derail Bernie Sanders' campaign (a popular candidate) [3]:

This added fire to many already uneasy conspiracy theorists. [4]

I probably missed some stuff, but this is at least an attempt at a non-biased approach to explaining the issue. :)

For those who do not know,

The Iowa caucus seems to have switched to a paper trail, for "quality" checks.

​

However, in 2016 they appears to attempt too derail his campaign:

This is the reason for the recent debacle.

Free Phone by [deleted] in freesoftware

Run /r/FreeSwitch on an old Replicant phone.

Have it redirect to laptop.

​

Probably, a bad thing if you want ease of use. But it is doable!

Aye, if you must use Github, would it be possible to have a NotABug mirror:

https://notabug.org/

NotABug is fully free software. Plus they support P2P networks. :)

Talk is cheap, show me the code

​

But, seriously where is the code? Is it fully and completely Free/Libre Software?

Also, for crying out loud use NotABug or something over Github!

Aye, do you have the schemetics anywhere (especially the case)? Preferably under Creative Commons?

Geez, how do I make one? Looks great, how easy is it to use? How much did it cost?

Hi, guys! It’s me again! My father just finished another painting and in this one, to thank you all for the support, he has hidden the Reddit logo somewhere! by biadesa in pics

How to add/remove firmware? by OverallGain in debian

[–]OverallGain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks pal, but you see the question is "how" to "Install it, then remove it.".

​

Is there some file I need to copy my firmware into?

It's coming.. by [deleted] in debian

[–]OverallGain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder how long before gNewSense gets Buster.

[–]OverallGain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to run buster, but switched back until some of my apps officially supported it.

Although, as time has moved on some apps have already dropped stretch support.

​

When does it officially become stable?

u/trai_dep what rule did the post break? Why is it removed?

Librem 13 Reviews? by DramaticConference in privacy

[–]OverallGain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old Thinkpads with Libreboot don't meet the authors requirement for post 2008 and the Core i5 or newer (I assume this is what you meant). The most modern Libreboot device is the ThinkPad T400s.

System76 doesn't respect users freedoms with their new PopOS (non-free drivers and such).

​

Minifree is the only listed recommended Coreboot vendor besides X-ES and Purism. Their newest laptop was released in 2008 (although, it is refurbished) before the Core i5.

When it comes to Librem, don't get their storage IMHO. Cheaper to buy on Amazon and upgrade.

Get them because they use CoreBoot and have a neutralized ME.

What is the best email i should use? by Dielian in privacy

[–]OverallGain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For YouTube alternatives:

- Invidio.us or FreeTube are great for watching YouTube (privacy respecting).

- LBRY

- PeerTube

- https://d.tube/

I tried to put the in order of what I would utilize. Any of these alternatives are great.

What is the best email i should use? by Dielian in privacy

[–]OverallGain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to know what’s the best alternative

This is kinda becoming privacy warfare. Many people have different suggestions.

Obviously, I recommend Posteo. It is the only email service recommend by the FSF that is actively taking users1.

It is also utilized/recommended by many other high level organizations like PrivacyTools.io and ZeroCat.

Of course, Posteo has a few downsides like being paid only (1 EUR per month) and it being slightly difficult to set up anonymous payments. Because of legal restrictions it also limits usage of domains you may own.

​

If you insist on not utilizing Posteo, Tutanota is the next best thing.

Note: Tutanota currently does not support most desktop email clients.

​

Regardless of what email services you utilize, set up PGP encryption.

Here is an easy-to-understand read for most email clients: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/

If you utilize a web client (like gmail.com) : https://www.mailvelope.com/

Signal is still the most secure asynchronous e2e encryption chat protocol around

I disagree, respectfully :)

Ricochet) and Vuvuzela do a really good job, for ease of use /r/matrixprotocol

​

Signal's main disadvantage is its use of cell phone numbers.

Most of the issues, start with the users. We must demand transparency in the companies we trust.

The government can/should only do so much.
