Cloudflare typically doesn't do anything unless you get lawyers involved in my experience.

You remember VPNFilter? I'd certainly consider that and other disinformation campaigns acts of war.

And EFI is a good thing, especially considering the monster dumpster fire that is UEFI?

Someone you know may be without your knowing and you can be snapped up in the "drag net"...

Tradecraft hasn't changed much. It has been fairly well tested. Operational security and information security have not changed much... They have become more difficult with cell-phones and small internet connected devices.

I think another big difference and a subject that probably would be included in a redo is understanding how all of the modern data generating systems can reveal covert activity through the analysis of metadata and how to "hide in the noise" of this.

The geospatial correlation of burner phone to actual identity if one does not practice good sanitation as far as locational security when accessing wireless networks as an example.

Good luck buying one. Took me 2 months to cancel my order, at least another month to receive my refund.

This was my exact experience with their laptops. All of them.

Great that there is a company that wants to do this. Not great that they have 0 transparency around refunds and supplychain.

Have you tried to order a laptop? I did... After 2 months of waiting I cancelled my order and it took another month to get refunded.

Last time I tried to order a purism... I waited for 4 months and then took about a few weeks and multiple payments for a refund. Have they worked out their supply chain issues yet?

I like to think of bitcoin as the censorship resistant settlement layer on which payment networks/systems can and are being built (like lightning network, which just passed all tests). There are some pretty sweet video demos of lightning network/payment channels in action.

Don't forget that it's now possible to broadcast bitcoin transactions via satellite - without internet...

I like Stolon: https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon

Stolon with etcd or consul is a far superior solution for HA postgres.

I hope they succeed too. I tried to buy a laptop from them and it was a terrible experience from order to refund (and months waiting). Despite that I'm still rooting for them.

What about faraday cages?

What diffirentiates your product from the thousands of other similar products? Is it the ruggedness? The temperature range the hardware can operate in? Is it all open source code?

The IoT board/industrial computer market is pretty saturated. I work in this space, solving some problems professionally. It was tempting to turn our hardware/software stack into a product in addition to the actual problem we were solving, but after doing some market research, it was clear that without significant differentiation from products already on the market we would be Yet Another IoT Industrial Grade Controller.

Especially with AWS GreenGrass/IoT and similar efforts from Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Dell and many others. There are already a ton of IoT/Industrial PCs on the market.

There is also Phoenix Contact, AdvancedTec, Siemens, ABB, Moxa, MPL...

That's not true. Being able to programatically verify (via public private key) makes things like ssl/key authorities possible. That's a multi-billion dollar industry.

uberconf was pretty sweet in 2015
