Re: [qubes-devel] Invitation to submit ideas for Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2018
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi all :), During past months I worked on idea [0]. Currently it's supported only by Firefox and Chrome. The repo is at [1] and the qubes-issue regarding contribution message is at [2]. It was assigned to the 4.1 milestone. I've a question about if is acceptable (in term of performance, specifically latency) to have some form of signed USB input, from a usbvm. A lot of laptop (the majority?) has only an USB controller and without reset capabilities. The most susceptible device, IMHO, is USB keyboard. So if it's possible to put a proxy USB signer device (e.g. a rPi Zero) between the USB keyboard and the usbvm, Dom0 could verify that input come from the signer device. However thanks the Qubes 4.0 flexibility this necessity could be suppressed by "Qubes Air". Unfortunately I cannot try Qubes 4.0-rcX. I hope that the 4.0-rc4 hasn't any major problem. So it became the stable release, <3.

Re: [qubes-devel] R4.0-rc4 installation image considerations

In the current state, you are right, there is no easy process for that. But I remember some note that the current option is suboptimal anyway: Installing RPMs in dom0 from some potentially less trusted source is not what you want in general. (Sure, this depends on the scenario.) Once there is some alternative that allow convenient installation of VM templates from domUs, one could bring it on a separate flash stick. Or even on a second DVD. > - downloading templates over tor takes a long time... and some may >prefer to not do it over clearnet on own connection (see point above) You are right, but OTOH, downloading some far outdated templates within the install image (like you do with Q3.2 today) and then downloading newer images over the network can take even more time. > > I see this approach is too late for Qubes4-rc1, but it could be useful for > > some future release. > > Yes, definitely. Oops. Of course, it was too late for RC1 at the time of writing… (Note the typo in my previous post – I wrote “rc1” instead of “rc4”.)

Shall I remove the Firefox/Chrome extensions from the GSoC 2018 list of prospective projects, and keep the Thunderbird extension there for now?
