Golem is a demonstration of how to distribute content over ActivityPub securely over peer to peer networks.
The problems this demo is trying to address are:
- Nodes go down, and their content tends to go with them. How can we have content that survives? Content which is distributable over a peer to peer network seems like it would help.
- Except if an entire network is helping hold onto and distribute content, how do we keep private content private?
- How to do this in a way that is compatible with the ActivityPub specification?
By encrypting the file and splitting it into chunks distributed through the network and only sharing the decryption key with the intended recipient, and by using a URI scheme that captures the appropriate information, we can accomplish all the above. Golem uses the magenc extension of the magnet URI scheme to accomplish the above.

snakeware is a free Linux distro with a Python userspace inspired by the Commodore 64. You are booted directly into a Python interpreter, which you can use to do whatever you want with your computer. Our window manager, snakewm, is based on pygame/pygame_gui. We do not use X11; snakewm draws directly to /dev/fb0.
We also are not going to be using any other huge and opaque software such as systemd, etc. The goal is to eventually have a usable set of userspace apps and utilities written entirely in Python, because Python is fun and it Just Werks™.
The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated cryptography. As an example of the effect OpenBSD has, the popular OpenSSH software comes from OpenBSD.
A method for distributing cryptographic entropy in the form of numerical values to systems that need it. Collects entropy from other systems and hashes it into the pool. While I can't vouch for how much entropy is in those values it seems interesting to experiment with.
