Explorations in Networking and Computing

A place for discussing the new developments in IT networking technologies that strive to enhance and assure privacy, security, and autonomy online, ensuring equitable and strong universal access to information.

You can share info about Confidential Computing software and hardware like Intel SGX enclaves, HSI, attestation, HEADS BIOS, and vendors like Nitrokey, Purism, Fairphone, Open Source Hardware, etc.

The Tor Project, Nym, mixmaster, Yggdrasil, Veilid, and other networking technologies can be discussed here. Questions could be answered by people versed in any of these networking projects.

Also, social media in such networking paradigms could be discussed and be of interest to the wider Mastodon community. You might think about how Amethyst with LND and LNC works, for example. Or have thoughts about developing a social media Veilid application. Facebook has an onion address. What about new networking technologies incorporated into the Fediverse?

Certain computing platforms like smart phones are more resilient when it comes to EMI/EMC (harmful electromagnetic interference) than others. Defense computers, for example, are designed to meet specifications like TEMPEST and MIL-STD-461. Although "Qubes Air" or cloud Qubes which could run on a cellular platform has been proposed, more development is required. Defense computers like Roda or GRiD can be found on eBay and from government surplus but the models do not have sufficient CPU power (core2duo in the instances I have seen which is close to Pentium and not nearly the i5 / i7 Intels required). There are also EMI shielding sprays with silver particles that might be applied to consumer laptops as another alternative to explore. Other than that, does anyone have ideas about creating an EMI fortified platform prototype that would be compatible with Qubes?

[They have a non-EMI way to truely "bork" it]

They can just kill all our stuff whenever they want (and extra-judicially torture us indefinitely) because they are not "criminals" but it suffices to smear us. Think of all the innocent women and children they murdered in war violently before they came back to subjugate the population. THEY are the criminals!
