RE: QubesOS 3.2 - A reasonably secure operating system [Paranoid? Read this!]

in #qubesos8 years ago

This is frickin brilliant, pardon my french. I am going to spin this up on my fitlet. I always run with encrypted drives and i like the idea of isolating my apps a lot more strongly, in particular, since steem is also my wallet, it should not be mingled with potential drive-by hijacks and the like.

I'm not happy with the current state of anti-surveillance network systems like tor and bitmessage. I intend to work on some new systems that will enable these services to be more monetisable, while retaining security, because I think that, and you can even find a post from me over 7 years ago on the tor email list, about how tor's lack of agorist payment systems is keeping the network small and vulnerable.

I want to check out this OS because I also have visions of a complete security network system, including the OS software distribution platform within the network, something like Tor and Maidsafe but that is designed so you can stay within the safety of the network and not so much be using it to get out at all. Integrating blockchain type systems for various types of communication, indeed, an entire internet that is inside the secure network, with secure distributed data-loss resistant filesystems, etc. It's a big project, and what I am doing now is all about getting the startup capital together so that I can finally start working on it (It's been in my mind almost 4 years now). So, this looks like a good design for the software base for my system design.

Nice im glad you saw this :) It really is worth the effort and im sure you'll love it once you get to explore how they've seperated everything.. I cant imagine changing os again :)

Best of luck with the fundraising

Sadly, it did not want to boot on my fitlet (amd a10 SoC). So I reinstated my old ubuntu install with encrypted swap and home. But I'm looking forward to getting this and its' 3.2 iso is living on my home filesystem for now. I might put it on my laptop when I get a stack of DVDs to burn a copy.

Damn, its a bit fussy about cpu unfortunately hopefully itll run on the lappy

Yes, after I've shifted my data around I'm going to try that. Should work fine on a core 2 duo.
