TIl about an interesting OS option by Lenovo, on their notebook computers. Logical yet interesting and expected
You get an *Open Source* OS by default from Lenovo. No more win64 as default
If you want closed source you have to **ask** for it and pay the _hefty premium_ that microSoft's microslop demands, for their LLM infected, malware like OS. Lenovo wants to sell it's notebooks for the best price possible if you want an OS, and microsoft does not meet those demands anymore (for a while)

The evolution of OpenAI’s mission statement.
OpenAI, the maker of the most popular AI chatbot, used to say it aimed to build artificial intelligence that “safely benefits humanity, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return,” according to its 2023 mission statement. But the ChatGPT maker seems to no longer have the same emphasis on doing so “safely.”
While reviewing its latest IRS disclosure form, which was released in November 2025 and covers 2024, I noticed OpenAI had removed “safely” from its mission statement, among other changes. That change in wording coincided with its transformation from a nonprofit organization into a business increasingly focused on profits.
OpenAI currently faces several lawsuits related to its products’ safety, making this change newsworthy. Many of the plaintiffs suing the AI company allege psychological manipulation, wrongful death and assisted suicide, while others have filed negligence claims.
As a scholar of nonprofit accountability and the governance of social enterprises, I see the deletion of the word “safely” from its mission statement as a significant shift that has largely gone unreported – outside highly specialized outlets.
And I believe OpenAI’s makeover is a test case for how we, as a society, oversee the work of organizations that have the potential to both provide enormous benefits and do catastrophic harm.

I have to state that there are still multi button gaming mice available, where you can assign different functions to them, including scroll wheels, in both Open Source Operating Systems and Closed Source.
In your case you would disable the scroll wheel. However I have the feeling that's not what you're looking for.
That means that it is an ergonomic preference
Are my assumptions true?

PH4NTXM now supports selectable Network Identity Modes at boot.
Two L2–L4 personas:
• Linux Mode – Linux-consistent TTL, DHCP behavior, TCP surface, minimal broadcast noise
• Windows Mode – Windows-typical TTL baseline, MSFT DHCP identifiers, aligned TCP traits
This is not cosmetic spoofing.
It’s cross-layer consistency.
Most systems leak hybrid fingerprints:
Linux kernel + Windows DHCP strings + mismatched TTL + service chatter.
PH4NTXM removes contradictions and enforces deterministic network identity alignment before the interface even comes up.
No randomness theater.
No broken spoof stacks.

PH4NTXM currently ships as a controlled distribution to sustainably fund development, infrastructure, and long-term research.
Reaching PH4NTXM’s current level has been a long process — involving extensive design, iteration, and hard technical decisions. This model allows us to maintain build integrity, focus on security guarantees, and continue active development without external dependencies.
Thank you to those who have followed, challenged, and supported the project.
If and when sustainability no longer requires controlled access, the project may transition to a more open model. Any such change would be deliberate and aligned with PH4NTXM’s long-term goals.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Sessions don’t fade out.
They are terminated.
PH4NTXM routes every shutdown and reboot through a dedicated panic kernel we called, "nuke" designed to end execution violently and without negotiation. The system is
forced into an immediate hardware reset path. CPU state is discarded. Power is
cut to volatile memory to trigger rapid RAM decay.
Before the reset, volatile key material stored in NVM-backed regions is
explicitly erased. No userspace teardown is allowed. No services exit cleanly.
Nothing is given time to persist.
There is no shutdown sequence to observe.
No memory image to trust.
No previous session for firmware to inherit.
When the system comes back, it comes back empty.
This is not hardening.
This is a kill-switch for state.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Memory forensics assumes RAM converges toward meaningful state.
PH4NTXM prevents that.
The RAM Seeding Engine continuously injects realistic cryptographic and
application-shaped artifacts into physical memory during live operation.
These artifacts mutate over time and are spread naturally through allocator
reuse into active process memory.
When memory contents are unstable and statistically polluted, forensic
analysis loses reliability. Captured memory reflects plausible but
non-attributable structures rather than clean session data.
There’s no single snapshot to trust.
No stable baseline to analyze.
By keeping volatile memory in flux, PH4NTXM ensures RAM cannot be treated
as a reliable source of ground truth during or after a session.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Surveillance relies on sensors being present.
PH4NTXM removes that assumption at the kernel level.
Microphone, camera, and audio output never reach userspace.
Applications, browsers, and malware have nothing to enumerate, request, or exploit.
When sensors don’t exist to the operating system, surveillance tooling loses its footing — not because it’s blocked, but because the attack surface is gone.
There’s no muting.
No permissions.
No trust model.
By enforcing sensor absence at the kernel boundary, entire categories of monitoring and exfiltration simply fail by design.
This isn’t anti-surveillance through resistance.
It’s anti-surveillance through architecture.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Defense doesn’t need to be permanent to be effective.
PH4NTXM is designed to block common intrusion attempts while a session is active — without carrying defensive history forward.
Attacks are mitigated in real time.
But once the session ends, there’s no accumulated state, no retained memory, no historical footprint.
Protection happens when it’s needed.
Persistence doesn’t.
This keeps defensive mechanisms effective without turning yesterday’s noise into today’s liability.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
DNS is one of the easiest places to correlate activity.
Even when traffic is protected, repeated use of the same resolver quietly creates long-lived associations.
PH4NTXM avoids that by design.
Each session operates with a different DNS context, so name resolution never settles into a stable, reusable pattern.
Nothing breaks. Resolution remains normal and reliable.
But no single resolver becomes a long-term witness.
This isn’t about “hiding DNS”.
It’s about preventing small, boring infrastructure choices from turning into permanent identifiers.
Correlation thrives on consistency.
We work to deny it.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Time leaks more than people realize.
Many correlation techniques don’t need content, metadata, or identifiers.
They just need things to happen at the same time, the same way, every session.
PH4NTXM avoids stable time behavior by design.
Each session begins with a slightly different temporal context, so activity doesn’t line up cleanly across boots.
Nothing breaks. Nothing looks wrong.
But time itself stops being a reliable anchor.
When consistency disappears, correlation becomes fragile.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
Network fingerprinting works by waiting for consistency.
Same behavior. Same timing. Same defaults.
PH4NTXM Net-Fuzz is built to deny that consistency.
During operation, the system avoids settling into a fixed network “personality”.
Low-level behavior is varied across boots and throughout each session, while remaining fully functional and realistic.
To an external observer, the system never looks quite the same twice.
This isn’t traffic masking or obfuscation.
It’s controlled variation at the network level — designed to make fingerprinting and long-term profiling unreliable.
When behavior stays fluid, correlation stops scaling.
#ph4ntxm #linux #debian #os #live #privacy #security #opsec #infosec #research #tech #technology
PH4NTXM is session-oriented by design.
Every boot is treated as a new system, not a continuation.
System identity is fully regenerated between sessions —
hostnames, machine identifiers, and other system-level fingerprints do not persist.
These identities aren’t obviously random or broken.
They’re realistic, consistent, and meant to blend into normal environments.
The goal is simple: prevent separate sessions from being quietly linked over time.

Musk posted recently that he is not interested his focus is on the moon rather than Mars. He wants to focus on building a city on the moon. He said on SpaceX that he was deferring ambitions of creating a base on Mars, mainly due to the fact that launch windows only occur every two years, but they are every 10 days for the moon. https://spacenews.com/musk-says-spacex-focus-is-on-the-moon-rather-than-mars/

Technology is supposed to extend the power of our senses, not replace them with sensors and algorithms that claim to be better at divining our needs and wants than our own bodies and minds. And yet, our growing acceptance of those tools as effective replacements for our senses is reshaping our relationships.
From:
The Extinction of Experience by Christine Rosen
We need to be more like the Amish in our approach to technology, cultivating a robust skepticism about each device and app, even if most of us will not be as strict as the Amish in rejecting them. The Amish ask the right questions before embracing something new: How will this impact our community? Is it good for families? Does it support or undermine our values? When they decide against adopting something new, the community supports the decision as a group.
C. Rosen
Technology isn't neutral. It is ambivalent. As historian Lewis Mumford noted in his book Technics and Civilization, "It is both and instrument of liberation and one of repression."

The Extinction of Experience by Christine Rosen
I’m really getting to reflect on the paradoxical nature of #homelabbing, #selfhosting, and #technology in general as I work to build a full-spectrum #cybersecurity stack from basically the ground up. The paradox being that if I could afford to, I would absolutely pay somebody or somebodies to host this crap for me and just use it as a service, but by so doing rob myself of the experience gained by building it myself; however, in struggling to build it for myself, I spend less time learning how to use the tools properly because it’s damned near impossible to get them all working together without some sort of sacrificial ritual.
To clarify, I’m not above #ritual #sacrifice, but none of the witches in the local coven will teach me the right one. Turns out broomstick jokes fly about as well as actual broomsticks. Ha! #rimshot

Don't let GDPR fines cripple your business. With the European Union's strict regulations looming, small businesses are at risk of non-compliance. The question is: paper compliance vs tech-driven automation? Automation can streamline processes, but also increases vulnerability to data breaches. Make informed decisions about your security posture and stay ahead of the game.
