λ - programming

Isn't that what tails is already providing?

Tails provides a communication/browsing platform, but this is far from what ChromeOS provides.

How could one achieve feature parity with ChromeOS, including the lack of any sensitive local material (so all keys, etc need to be on a flash drive), with privacy-preserving technology?

The LAFS grid part sounds interesting. Having /home/ or some other folder on a network by default sounds nice. Needs to be functional without internet though.

One step further - there should be dark-cloud webapps to replace all ChromeOS features.

The way ChromeOS does this is only using browser based technologies; we could do the same if there was a Javascript app that back ended to freenet or similar.

personally i always need internet for work. well i dont but i get frustrated and inefficient quickly. LTE everywhurrr fuarrrk yeah i use like 60GB/month sometimes
i though about saying so fuarrrk it just do a network file system but then i realized it's a stupid idea


instead what you want some kind of truecrypt container which is synced smartly (not the whole thing every goddamn time you change one file) when you choose to.

you could choose what to sync and when and if you want to keep a local encrypted container copy on disc for offline work or if you want it whiped when you shut the machine down.

yeah im starting to like this idea op

i'd say you'd host the web apps on your home server or inside the encrypted container.. i mean if you want social network soykaf you will have to connect to tor or peer to peer stuff anyway

I think for Google drive like features, you could just use freenet, or a LAFS grid for more speed/less anonymity.

Ideally, you only need the local client; the app "server" is a set of dumb storage that's decentralized and anonymous.

I think a good goal for this is to have a live CD+service keys give you your normal work environment.

From a technical standpoint there isn't much interesting about chromeos, though they do have some interesting CRDT stuff for group editing. Most of the software is already there except the glue to hold it together. It's just there isn't a huge corp to make it sexy and the "muh freedoms" types aren't very interested in making cloud-type services more convenient.
