friendica/friendica: Friendica Communications Platform Standing on Our Own Two Feet When a new Certificate Authority (CA) comes on the scene, it faces a conundrum: In order to be useful to people, it needs its root certificate to be trusted by a wide variety of operating systems (OSes) and browsers. However, it can take years for the OSes and browsers to accept the new root certificate, and even longer for people to upgrade their devices to the newer versions that include that change. The common solution: a new CA will often ask an existing, trusted CA for a cross-signature, to quickly get it into being trusted by lots of devices. Five years ago, when Let’s Encrypt launched, that’s exactly what we did. We got a cross-signature from IdenTrust. Their “DST Root X3” had been around for a long time, and all the major software platforms trusted it already: Windows, Firefox, macOS, Android, iOS, and a variety of Linux distributions. Now, those software platforms have trusted our root certificate for years. However, this does introduce some compatibility woes.

NixNet WireGuard: fast, modern, secure VPN tunnel Piloting SecureDrop Workstation for Qubes OS - SecureDrop In March, Freedom of the Press Foundation will begin to pilot SecureDrop Workstation for Qubes OS with select news organizations. The goal of the project is to make the SecureDrop experience more intuitive, and to decrease the time-on-task for journalists, without compromising security. With SecureDrop Workstation, journalists can use a single integrated computer to review messages and documents submitted by sources via SecureDrop, and to reply to them. We’re deeply grateful to Freedom of the Press Foundation’s friends and supporters for making this project possible, including the Mozilla Open Source Support Awards and our individual donors. We’d also like to thank the Qubes OS development team for all their help with this project. Overview SecureDrop Workstation is based on Qubes OS, a desktop-based distribution of Xen. The user experience of a journalist is similar to using a messaging app: Pilot Whitepaper Bug Bounty Getting involved

How I do my Computing My computer I use a Thinkpad T400s computer, which has a free initialization program (libreboot) and a free operating system (Trisquel GNU/Linux). It was not sold that way by Lenovo, however; small businesses buy them used, recondition them, and install the free software. This is one of the computers endorsed by the FSF. Before using such Thinkpads, I used the Lemote Yeeloong for several years. Before that, I used an OLPC for some weeks. The results that seemed likely, millions of children running Windows on the OLPC, have not occurred. Before that I used machines that ran completely free GNU/Linux systems but had nonfree BIOSes. GNU/Linux distro I do not have a preferred GNU/Linux distro. I've chosen not to have any preferences among those ethical distros. What I do on my computer Mostly I use a text console, for convenience's sake. I do use X11 for tasks that need a graphical interface. This is not an ethical issue, just my own personal preference.
