PyCrypto is a very nice library when learning using cryptographic algorithms, although its RSA interface type use is highly unobvious2011-07-21T12:17:35+00:00 To: Alexandre Oliva, Public
@mtjm some drivers support multiple cards, but only some of which require non-Free firmware, so we had to support partial clean-ups@mtjm since the wifi drivers in question are Free Software, we might as well use this machinery to disable only the inducement to non-Free@mtjm then users get a message such as “missing Free firmware”, rather than silent failure to recognize the card@mtjm also, we have plans (but not much demand) to enable users install and use the blobs, just without ask them to do so2011-07-18T10:05:50+00:00 To: Børge A.

@mtjm Yes, but http://freedomdefined.org is about !freeculture, like text, music, video, not about software. That's why it's a bit shocking…2011-07-09T09:08:40+00:00 To: Public
@aurele there are freely licensed programs restricted by lack of source code (e.g. some Radeon firmware); licenses aren't enough to be free2011-05-20T08:29:51+00:00 To: Public
@aurele it's "one of the most secure distro" by being simple and doing what the user wants, or something else?2011-05-06T18:01:11+00:00 To: Public
@rsiddharth would "a privacy freak" believe that removing mail for him removes it also for the provider? nice to see useful and concise docs2011-05-05T15:23:08+00:00 To: Public
@aurele it'd be simpler to state the version number just once (it's the only change for 2.6.38.x); md5sum is not useful when gpg can be used2011-05-03T16:23:51+00:00 To: Osama Khalid, Public
@osamak http://tinyogg.com/watch/vNXlZ/ failed due to a bug in my last patch, fmt "5" should be tried instead of "34" for low quality
@mtjm thanks, will look into this.2011-04-30T22:41:05+00:00 To: Public
@luisroca this program has no license; the licenses should be the same for such simple things, unless it's randomly generated thus PD2011-04-30T22:08:08+00:00 To: Public
@luisroca Perl poems are programs; input-less programs outputting poems should have them licensed like binaries; like scalable meta-fonts2011-04-29T17:56:32+00:00 To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana it's not better with TeX macros; also nearly only Knuth writes fonts as programs, no project combines a font with non-font program2011-04-29T17:44:16+00:00 To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana the issue is sourceless TTF and some fonts being output of unpublished programs? as an user of METAFONT, I consider it a problem
@mtjm for font sources 2b widely shard,FSM needs 2 write automated, end2end, autotools-styl bld procss4fonts.#fontly may provide this in '122011-04-29T17:29:34+00:00 To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana there are many based on URW 35, or in TeXLive (?), Vera and derivs., and others in free distros; is "truly free" not just FSF-free?2011-04-28T20:10:13+00:00 To: Public
found a new use for "sudo poweroff" -- learning that it might be useful to have different passwords on remote machines2011-02-27T19:24:35+00:00 To: Richard Fontana, Public
@fontana newer reports like http://ur1.ca/3cnns http://ur1.ca/3cnnv http://ur1.ca/3cnnw etc consider it nonfree and remove from gNS2011-02-27T17:44:34+00:00 To: Public
@rsiddharth M-x shell uses bash, but doesn't support full-screen apps; I'd use GNU Screen or bash job control for such tasks2011-02-12T18:37:02+00:00 To: Public
@graziano http://ur1.ca/3850a lists some laptops of mostly Trisquel users with Atheros cards, mine Asus F3U has it (although also a Radeon)2011-01-19T20:39:13+00:00 To: Public
@dskokot wolne oprogramowanie można użyć również przeciw człowiekowi, http://ur1.ca/2xzgq wyjaśnia dlaczego GPL &c tego nie ogranicza2010-10-24T12:45:45+00:00 To: Public
@rrh it can be done using AdBlock Plus, add "|http://identi.ca/plugins/Mapstraction/*" and "##div#entity_map" rules to it
