Trisquel GNU/Linux

All releases are named after Celtic goddesses/gods from Wales, Ireland, Gaul etc.

I remember when Ubuntu was released, and I still have one of the first or second release Ubuntu shipit CDs.

Ubuntu was good at marketing and they were good at making things ‘just work’.

It was often the recommended choice of starter-distro due to hardware compatibility.

I’ve installed and admin’ed Ubuntu on 20 PCs in a small office setting, and it provides a decent user experience.

I would not personally use Ubuntu.

My daily driver now is Trisquel GNU/Linux, which is Ubuntu with all non-free packages(and binary blobs) removed.

If you are at the stage where you know how to source hardware that works with FLOSS-drivers, try out a fully-free FSF approved distro.

Clean, with zero corporate fluff.

Darn good!

Great tune. I only know it from this Sauer race-vid

Afterburner II - City 202

Slinger’s Song - from the game Bastion

I heard this song first on this Sauerbraten race-vid, I haven’t played the original Bastion game.

Revolution OS(2001) was maybe the earliest documentary about Free Software.

This was great to view at LinuxConf2001, seeing many of the names you’d only read about previously.

Warning: It interviews various people discussed in this thread, but also contains plenty of Stallman being right.

Psygnosis

For Wipeout2097(on PSX), and the 90s Amiga releases.

One of the best quotes about Free Software, was how it is essentially using the same principles as Judo, use the opponents momentum against them.

The way Free Software uses full, restrictive copyright to create a permissive, free sharing-based copyright is an excellent example of the technique within many Judo throws.

I can’t remember where this quote was from, and a quick search found nothing. Maybe someone else can pinpoint it.

ls -ltrc

Show most recently modified files.

I mainly want personal family photos away from long corporate data retention (and possible leaks) and away from AI scrapers.

Delta Chat covers this.

I’ll check out Signal again though, thanks for the recommendation.

A simple network share.

Does your router have a USB port?

Plug in a thumb drive (32-64gb is fine) and configure it in your router’s admin interface to share on the network. (FTP and SMB shares)

An easy way to have all devices in a house able to access a shared directory. (Pictures, movies, music, files)

I haven’t used Signal.

Is your ‘registered Signal number’ your phone handset number?

[You are right, Delta Chat uses AutoCrypt, which is OpenPGP based.]

Trisquel GNU/Linux, is Ubuntu with all the non-free packages removed. Don’t see any of that stuff.

No spam, because it is a family group for sharing non-public pictures etc.

You’d only get spam if you invited a spammer to chat.
