Hardware:
* MilkV board with Gentoo Linux
* Modos paper display (e-paper display)
* Keyboardio keyboard and/or Ploopy mouse kit (custom keyboard and mouse)
* Ovrdrive USB with encrypted password manager (KeePassXC, masterpassword.app, or Bitwarden)
Software:
* Gentoo Linux with:
+ Hardened kernel
+ Refusal to install proprietary packages
+ rkhunter (rootkit hunter)
+ iptables (firewall)
+ firejail (application sandboxing)
+ clamav (antivirus)
+ kvm/qemu (virtualization)
+ pyshark (network analysis)
* Web browser options:
+ GNU Icecat with LibreJS
+ ELinks (terminal browser)
+ GNUNet with custom SOCKS5 proxy (post-quantum cryptography)
Networking:
* Self-hosted email on a VPS (not using a personal homeserver)
* xkpasswd.net for high-entropy passwords
* Stripped ARM Olinuxino board with ath9k PCIe for open 802.11 IP over DHCP
The project focuses on
- Security: Hardening the kernel, using rkhunter, iptables, firejail, and clamav to create a secure environment.
- Privacy: Using encrypted password managers, self-hosted email, and a custom SOCKS5 proxy with post-quantum cryptography.
- Free and open-source software: Refusing proprietary packages and using only free and open-source software. Amd on the hardware level.
