Reply to Proposal: a new live OS for I2P by fgFUKTG445F
Hi. I'm back. sorry for being late. I have some stuff todo . and after some researching my stuff about my live os . it's mid and a$$ and I saw A lot of other live os like prestium and Obscurix (an arch based distro) and other distros and I decided to maybe to cancel my idea.

If such would be inevitable, I will not buy a new gen Android device.

After the massive embarrassment they've made of themselves releasing a desktop machine that has no modular RAM I wouldn't have much hopes on them.
Framework always seemed like a big nothingburger, they get more credit and praise than they deserve, they're not that much into right to repair (as proven with the desktop they released) and they do the bare minimum to not get in the way to make machines serviceable, a barebones laptop design with I/O modules is just the bare minimum user-serviceable-friendly thing to do. Besides these machines use the latests CPUs and tons of spooky mystery proprietary software, I wish they started talking less about mimicking consumer slop tech like smartphones and more about alternative and open hardware such as RISCV.

What's stopping you from using Tails as a basis? Making your own from scratch sounds difficult for just a simple addition

Very true, the solution is to ditch smartphones which are shit anyway and stick to standard and reliable computers running Linux or OpenBSD or whatever, if they're from 2016 or older even better.

It can run 24/7 on a ramdisk. Plus it could be convenient if you have nothing else and you want to get in touch with someone over I2P, much like Tails does with Tor for a similar purpose.
A good bonus might be to include a couple of shell scripts to automate deploying a few things as well, and even keep those maintained as stand-alone, I surely wouldn't mind using those on virtual servers and contributing to such thing to automate deploying something like an FTP server or an email server for easy and convenient data exchange and communication.

Cool project, but a live OS seems a little antithetical for I2P which is supposed to run like a router (24/7)

I hope we will reach a point where people fork away from android and we get something similar with Linux on desktops.

How, did you read the article, this is the whole problem with GrapheneOS it runs on Google Pixel and google wants to prevent you from running Graphene on it

they are good for both use cases ... I and my friends use similar panels for the household, but I know a lot companies in Germany, who use it for their purposes as well and they are satisfied ... of course for industrial purposes you need more panels and such which can collect enough power

True, more phones need to support custom operating systems because Android is getting worse and worse.

Custom os are almost necessary at this point problem is the devices that support lineageos and the such are far and few between

Needless to say, I think everyone on i2p knows how bad this is. It is time to move to GrapheneOS.

Can starlink be used to track (specific) users? I think users in the empty oceans will stick out. The position of the satellite around the globe is known to them, and the data streams can be observed as well, can't they?

Yes, I'm talking about household. I did not think about industrial use, but probably there is well-known problems such small power supply and not the reliability of energy supply

I don't know about that part, I think that though they may be good for the household they're not good for things in the industrial scale (which is also my concern). And that part about the poisonous stuff? I think I'll do some research on it and bring back what I can find. Thanks though for bringing up the topic.

Reply to Chinese law enforcement places NSA operatives on wanted list over alleged cyberattacks by righttoprivacy
Politically, cyberattacks have become a fundamental part of modern conflicts, targeting sensitive objectives in a strategic manner. China’s cyber offensive against the US is not solely about advanced technology, but largely driven by the desire to spy and monitor matters that might seem minor yet hold significant importance in the context of influence and control .

I know they are working on their own OS and such. Could be disinfo.
But I won't bet my computer on it. ;)

we're at a lvl far removed from the inner workings. evrything could be propaganda lies, west and east. the tidbit about "unknown encrypted data packets" triggering "pre-implanted backdoors" in windows is funny. thnk these are target based or exist widely on every windows installation? waiting for a neutral security auditor to find and expose?
i wonder what incentives lie in wait for such an auditor.. $$$ and recognition, or something more sinister

some people don't have a strong PC to use a virtual machine effectively and some people don't want to use there own computer to browse I2p and I used tails with I2p but it's not that effective to use and you need to connect to TOR which is not the best network for speed and you know the news about TOR and the USA and Europe and stuff like that.
