I worked on this for a while. I was thinking about compartmentalizing
services in multiple Raspberry Pi, connected via opto-isolators. Like
Markus Ottela's Tinfoil Chat,[0] but expanded to work more like Qubes.
And indeed, the Qubes team have announced work on Qubes Air:[1]

| on a physically distinct computer, such as a Raspberry PI or USB
| Armory. Despite the fact that these are physically separate devices,

But, you know, I wondered about EMF cross-talk between qubes. So I
decided to learn how to measure that :)

I tried that approach. And it was a nightmare. The setup -- SDR stick,
upconverter and laptop -- generated far too much EMF noise. I played
with testing stuff in a Faraday cage. But I didn't manage a signal feed
to the SDR etc that didn't introduce unacceptable noise.

I believe that you'd need professional equipment, which is properly
shielded, and doesn't bleed noise into the testing environment.

That is also harder that it might seem. For high frequencies, with very
small wavelengths, even tiny cracks are enough to leak horribly. You
need joints with elastic seals, to mitigate against misalignment and
wear. Such as beryllium copper finger strips, elastic beryllium copper
tubular braid, etc.

Ecuadorian Govt Partly Restores Assange's Communications
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201810141068883649-ecuador-assange-govt-communications-restore/
 The Wikileaks founder has been cut off from internet and phone
 communication since March 2018.

 The Ecuadorian government has partially restored communications for
 Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, an ITV report claimed Sunday.

 “Ecuador has told WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange that it will
 remove the isolation regime imposed on him following meetings
 between two senior UN officials and Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno
 on Friday," a Wikileaks statement noted.

[HA! "Lenin" decided hey? :D]

 “Mr Assange was informed of Ecuador’s decision hours after Mr Grandi
 and Mr Kaye met with President Moreno," the statement added.

 According to Wikileaks, the decision to restore Assange's
 communication was made after UN High Commissioner for Refugees
 Filippo Grandi and UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression
 David Kaye met with the president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno.

 Assange's communications were cut in March, as Ecuadorian
 authorities said that the publisher violated an agreement not to
 issue messages that might interfere with other nation's affairs.

 “It is positive that through UN intervention Ecuador has partly
 ended the isolation of Mr Assange although it is of grave concern
 that his freedom to express his opinions is still limited," Kristinn
 Hrafnsson, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief, said.

And, the idea don't need millions of dollars:

1)
 - a chaff fill plugin for I2P
   - initially a simple fixed bw link
   - then add dials for base chaff bw (e.g. if bandwidth drops below
 say 10kbps, chaff fill, but allow link bw to rise above)
   - then time period "chunked" - e.g. if link pressure is steadily
 being throttled, provide for stepping up/down, e.g. from 10kbps
 to 50kbps etc)

 - then add a per-connection latency dial (implies RAM cache of
   packet flow(s) that require latency

 - the latency dial should provide for randomness (a window of
   latency perhaps)

That's the low hanging cherry.


2)
Next should also be reasonably straightforward network layer isht` -
network reconfig for roaming mobile devices - ad hoc/ mesh net of
some sort.


3)
The next one is perhaps a little more complex, and could benefit from
some priviledged-class acedemia study, but the technical
implementation ought be straightforward enough - network layer "non
public links", that is e.g. an ethernet cable strung between two
neighbours, or a street-level "wireless pod".

"Street Net" then becomes an advocacy and grass roots activism
project - build out the people's network:

  If you don't own it, you don't control it.
  If you don't control it, it shall be used against you.

  You are not the customer, you are not even the product any more as,
  according to Mark Zuckerberg, you are the "dumb fucks" trusting him.

Yes, collective collaboration is good for the success of any project.
My inputs, 

Any power going into such a room should use a UPS battery to prevent data 
leakage through power lines/usage.
(Would power lines become an antennae for electro-magnetic frequency leakage?) 
Would a UPS be sufficient enough for
security?

And if network connectivity is needed, to prevent network cables from being a 
carrier of EMF leakage, perhaps fiber optic line?

preserve the ledger.

It seems to me that anonymous communications is a building block that

Public Shielded Room Work

2018-10-14 Thread Karl
Hi,

My name is Karl Semich and I have a desire to make available to
everyone highly secure shielded rooms / SCIFs, for privacy and
security in this modern age.

I was wondering if anybody else was pursuing this, or if anybody knew
of anybody pursuing this, that I might stay in contact with them or
support them.

Or even if anybody had some experience with this concept, and might
mentor me, it would be incredible.

I don't have any formal training and have developed some cognitive
issues, resulting in slow progress, but this is all I am spending my
free time on.  I do not work a job, being supported for now by a
trust.

I'm currently residing in Green Bank, WV, where emissions are
regulated for a radio observatory.  I am trying to develop some
relatively simple software using the rtl-sdr to measure the power of a
noise source independent of background traffic, so as to quickly and
repeatedly measure shielding effectiveness.

I then plan to try to measure a variety of setups ranging from
homemade aluminum foil & iron paint to soldered copper and welded or
bolted stainless steel, to identify ways for everyday people to
cheaply create shielded environments that are actually effective.  I
would like to find a way people can use off-the-shelf supplies to make
environments that are isolated from DC to light, if desired.

If anybody else is working on something like this, I would love to
support you in any way available.  I can donate money, I can get
drinks and run errands, I can read books and pursue a degree if
needed, I can mode hardware around and even develop and debug
software.

Please let me know,

So yeah, stuff could probably be written. Maybe it'd help to use all

of the write. But ...

That's over my head. Maybe there are gaps in tracks, which could be used
to store new data. Or maybe it's possible to write slightly off track,
without hosing existing data. I have no clue.

Those are good points. So what? Paper tape, in a reader that can't punch
holes? But seriously, using CD readers with wimpy lasers that can't
alter the disks is probably best.

degrees opposite to his previous and very clearly stated position -
i.e. utterly hypocritical.

Classic Jewish "intellectualism" to fit the conversation to frame the
desired "resolution of Jewish conundrum or goals" etc

Innocent until proven guilty has 900 BLOODY YEARS behind it - one of
those famed "pillars" of "Western society", and JP was so ready to
throw it out the window.

And the idea of appointing some other "equally conservative judge"?
This is the WHOLE POINT of the Marxist "Left" - defame, fight dirty,
impugn the character of good men etc - and if that all fails, then
start physical violence - which is now happening e.g. GOP building
getting vandalised and public statements of "this physical
destruction is just the beginning".

And JP thinks these Marxist type of people won't be even MORE
vehement in THE SAME tactics against the next conservative judge?

Sheer lunacy!

JP has two important achievements or messages which have been
worthwhile:

1) Take responsibility in the face of the fact that life is filled
   with suffering and malevolence (clean up your room, lift your
   load).

2) "Marxism" is a dirty word. Everyone now knows this - the Internet
   and the spread of ideas today is so rapid, it's awesome!
   So even the legacy media (MSM) knows that Marxism can no longer be
   hailed - there is no more excuse.


Other than that, Peterson has:

1) slapped free speech in the face (removing Faith Goldy from his
   panel literally to discuss free speech)

2) slapped the presumption of innocence in the face (Kavanaugh)

3) utterly failed to address the negative sides of Jewish power and
   Judaism


so fundamentally, he's a coward. A flake.

Police told to avoid looking at iphone x

"Police have yet to completely wrap their heads around modern iPhones like the 
X and XS, and that's clearer than ever thanks to a leak.Motherboard has 
obtained a presentation slide from forensics company Elcomsoft telling law 
enforcement to avoid looking at iPhones with Face ID. If they gaze at it too 
many times (five), the company said, they risk being locked out much like 
Apple's Craig Federighi was during the iPhone X launch event. They'd then have 
to enter a passcode that they likely can't obtain under the US Constitution's 
Fifth Amendment, which protects suspects from having to provide 
self-incriminating testimony."

"There are ways around this system, whether or not they're ethically sound -- 
the FBI recently forced a suspect to unlock his iPhone X using Face ID. Some 
warrants can explicitly offer permission to use face unlocking. Many 
investigators won't know about the alternatives, though, and there won't always 
be an option to use the accused person's face. There's no guarantee other 
countries will allow forced face recognition, either."

"The slide also underscores the challenge face recognition poses for 
investigators, especially when there's no fingerprint fallback as with newer 
iPhones. Where it's easy to avoid accidentally triggering a fingerprint reader, 
you can inadvertently set off a system like Face ID just by raising or tapping 
the screen. Like it or not, officers will have to be much more delicate when 
they want access to recent handsets -- especially when they aren't guaranteed 
wired access."

If a concern, you might want to look into submitting text / multimedia
to archive.org and or one of the wikimedia foundation projects,
or even gutenberg, for whatever their curated collections series
is called.

The automated web archive of archive.org probably has scraped
a lot already.
