/gnussr/ - Liberated Software

We compile gnussr flags here and pray for mod to add them. Max flag size is 20x16 pix0rs.

Rules:

1. No threads about personal use of proprietary OSes as your primary OS. Threads about running proprietary OSes in a VM, emulation, or dual-boot and about running proprietary software on a liberated OS (or liberated software on any OS) are allowed. Threads discussing moving away from proprietary software and OSes are allowed.

2. No GPU wars, no console wars, no obnoxious consumerist shitflinging. All corporations are trying to fuck you over. Rational discussion of consumer hardware as relates to use with liberated software is allowed. Language wars, license wars, distro wars, and other types of heated discussion are allowed.

3. No threads actively promoting proprietary licenses or OSes.

4. /pol/ is allowed to post on good behavior. No shitting the place up with accusations of Judaism, ranting about gas chambers, or similar shit.

5. No spamming, spoiler NSFW images, and don't post images (including cartoons) that could get your fellow hackers arrested.

Board Purpose:

GNUSSR is intended to facilitate broad-ranging discussion of free software in all its forms, and to promote political struggle against exploitative, privately-owned software and computer services. GNUSSR is based on the stance that Free Software is essentially a theory of anti-capitalist, anti-corporatist computing. Therefore, GNUSSR is also meant to facilitate discussion of computing as it relates to society as a whole, including topics such as cyberpunk, AI, and cybernetics.

Heyo,

I want to know if anyone is interested in starting a campaign to make affordable libre-laptops.

Currently the only way to acquire a box without a backdoor is to spend 600+ more on a librebooted thinkpad, or use an ARM device with no breakout hardware.

Let's actually make a kickstarter, go to Hong Kong, India or wherever, get a manufacturer to make this. It won't make INSANE GAINS MARKET $$$HARE but it will be enough to support us.

Also please post forseeable obstacles and expenses, plans and such. Let's really make this happen. If you think can help, or want to be a founder in this please email, and I'll make a crypto wallet available. This kind of thing is WAY passed due, and truly it's the only thing that is going to save us from soylent zuckerfuture nightmareworld so please take it seriously.

Thank you and SHIVA bless you.

Advanced users of GNU/Linux (and I mean advanced), remember to try Source Mage GNU/Linux. True source-based distribution, and (in contrast with Gentoo and Arch) is:

Free from obfuscated and pre-configured code.

Fully committed to GPL, uses only free software (as in freedom) in their main package.

With even the documentation licensed as FDL.

Without 3rd party patches, sensible defaults or masked packages.

Doesn't need obfuscated python libraries, only bash.

No systemd (they've implemented their own init scripts system http://sourcemage.org/Init).

Uses clean dependencies as they came from upstream developers, which by the same provides instant updates.

Can heal broken installs.

Can also use flags.

Do you like Arch Linux's AUR? Do you like Gentoo's portage (or ports-like) package manager? With SMGL's "sorcery" you get all that. Making new spells (package build files) not found in the grimoire (repository of spells) is easy http://sourcemage.org/Spell/Book

Bash hackers welcome! Come and join http://sourcemage.org/

Installing SMGL is easy, here's the simplified process:

>boot a live Ubuntu (or whatever) USB drive

>go to SMGL website and download compressed archive of the base system

>partition and mount partition(s)

>extract the archive onto the new partition(s)

>chroot, set root passwd, hostname, configure network and locale, write fstab, install grub/lilo

>reboot

>compile a kernel (preferably the newest stable one from kernel.org)

>update sorcery, grimoires and the build toolchain

Post here whenever you visit the board and you find no new threads.

Okay /gnussr/ what are your thoughts on this man?

Thought we could use some cybernetics memes. Post your OC here

How do I build a low-budget desktop gaming pc without using proprietary software like Windows?

Some terminology used in cyberpunk circles. These might come in handy IRL as code words, if you'll simply write them down somewhere and incorporate them into your regular vocabulary. For instance; replacing the word "CEO" with "Corpse" or calling a retard you know and hate a "bakebrain". Who knows, you might find it useful in a life-or-death sitch if you use code instead of letting people know what you're actually saying.

I use a chromebook as my school computer because of the cost and portability. I use a chroot environment to run Ubuntu and Chrome OS at the same time, and I am wondering if it is possible to run other distros on it without building my own project to do so. Does anyone

here have any experience with chromebooks?

Lets share Tox IDs! Other secure, FOSS messaging programs should be fine too, or irc channels/other group chats.

How can authoritarian people like tankies even go on this board?

The Free Software comunity is libertarian and anarchist in nature.

Boomer from /leftypol/ here, I don't what you guys do on this board specifically, but you seem to understand technology.

Post all non-english cybernetic books you can find.
