A tactical RT5 Voice and Data Terminal
  • Why won't anyone make this things to run Linux?

    Dammit, can't anyone see the market on this one? I would love to get one, maybe even with LTE connectivity. Now that would be Cyberpunk.

  • IPFS, why haven't we seen video streaming services?
  • There's this project: https://watchit.movie/#/ https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app

    I never got to try it, but they are doing exactly what you want it seems. I don't know how much of their backend they have open-sourced, though. I definitely need to research this more.

    They do have a matrix channel and a fediverse presence, so they already look quite alright from the start, and the project is very interesting.

  • Small phones under 700£
  • A Fairphone 3/4 might be your solution, definitely check it out

    They said they wanted to support it for more than 5 years but the industry won't allow it since they stop distributing the components after a few years, but they are gonna support it as far as they can AFAIK.

  • School Spyware
  • As of August 2023, the best way to avoid the problem of

    untampered compiler

    AFAIK Is using an MNT Reform With GNU Guix as its OS, I really liked this article "The Full-Source Bootstrap: Building from source all the way down". This approach could, potentially, solve the problem of the untampered compiler. Damn, maybe it already does.

    As for the MNT Reform, the only thing I'm not sure is open is the actual processor firmware, but the schematics for its usage are available and even the Wifi firmware is open, so there remains the problem of actually verifying the hardware you get is actually the hardware you ordered, but that is a bit more complicated I think.

  • Downfall Attacks
  • This seems much more exploitable than Meltdown/Spectre.

    I wonder when fully libre/open source CPUs will appear. Maybe then we'll just reprogram the FPGA in our CPUs and things like this will stop happening.
