From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I2P. Current protocols should go through it

Anonymous lemmy, anonymous torrents, anonymous IPFS, anonymous eMule, anonymous streaming, anonymous source forges, anonymous chats, anonymous everything...

Imagine unbridled, anonymous, mainstream piracy, software development, sitehosting, communication, social media.

i2p is pretty cool. One of the more interesting projects out there. Like tor, though i'm preferential to the weird ones.

there is also GNUNET which seems to be in perpetual development, perhaps one day that will see something interesting happen.
