Pofessionalize Tor exit node hosting: exchange legal and technical knowledge, encourage formation of user groups.

Politische Verstrickungen. Der Versuch einer Datenbank.

Vergütungsmodelle für Medieninhalte (30.04.2010)

• a.l.a.r.m. (win)
• university homepage
• praktomat: java e-learning
• 1994-2006: digital oblivion; hope to find the time to put it back online some day

Subset of projects I would like to work on [or see].

Unlock certain features or extras only after the user has logged in over Tor at least once. Point to simple and easy guides to set up Tor on different platforms [which unfortunately don't exist yet] and suggest to set it up as a bridge for other users.

I am dreaming about a revived FidoNet. Ridiculous?

• A portable wifi router to carry around. It will find similar boxes and sync content, eg. files from preselected categories.
• A wifi router that offers local services. No need for Internet connectivity. Optionally, offer its services as a Tor hidden service when connected to WAN.

Using a first-person shooter framework. Filled with music coming from different sources on walls, blended together in surround sound (5.1/7.1). Similar music is closer together (for example, based on last.fm information). You can freely move around, with distant sources fading out, until you only hear the closest source (standing “inside” it). Think of different rooms for different musical styles, or a way to zoom in and out on a globe of all the music on your hard drive, visualized using Milkdrop, or band pictures and videos associated to the songs. I can also imagine to follow the history of a certain musical style by walking through a corridor (from Blues to Classic Rock to Stoner Rock?).

Possible proximity criteria: City of origin, age, musical similarity, … It should be possible to walk through representative songs of a decade, or a single band's history.

Requirements: FPS framework, EAX. Or something like that.

• A GPG plugin: Signs pages using a GPG key (either per wiki or per author)
• easy deployment and backup of sites using git
  • cronjob
  • extended version: commit on edit hook

inspired by Privacybox and pgpboard.

1. web: do not require signup, but instead takes any public GPG key and a timespan. After that time, both the key and any uploads for that key will be wiped.
2. smtp: accept any gpg mails. throw away headers. then, after mixing and packaging, do one or more of the following:
   • forward to another smtp server in bulk (problem: accept binary attachments?)
   • push via other protocols, either locally or remotely
   • finally, publish all mail per http/torrent and rss
     • daily packages? make people download not only their own stuff

A website that use steganography to embed data in videos and uploads them to youtube. More a proof of concept than anything else. (or as a firefox extension, compare securefs)

“placard!”

Reach people. Allow people to publish HQ pics and quotes. Others can cheaply print and put them on walls, including a short URL and QR code pointing to the image with source and discussion. http://plakatiere.net/

Anonymously rent a few servers. Use one to publicly host the services/content, replicate to all unpublished servers. Run a distributed script that detects shutdowns, updates DNS [and (semi)automatically buys new hosting]. Make it easy for other people to clone your server and add their mirrors to your internal list. Use many DNS servers and domains if appropriate. Cycle.

Keep a hidden service mirror up at all times: Install Tor on (possibly all your) servers, copy the hidden service key. This will make all your servers publish the same hidden service address, so clients will more or less “randomly choose one of them”.

Run Freenet and I2P on all servers too.

I want to keep my notes on different projects, my todo list, my calendar etc in a simple format.

→ Brainstorm Language (BSL)

This idea is stolen from Daniel, but I need to keep it here simply because it is awesome and he won't build it anytime soon anyway.

A semi-transparent acrylic glass wall, illuminated from behind. A webcam monitors takes a snapshot every time no movement is detected. The wall can be used for different design ideas and notes, and with small modifications to the software even for different people and projects. The images can be put in a sequence for easy browsing. Maybe OCR for indexing?

• donate towards any URI (including email addresses, ISBN, twitter accounts etc)
• no transfer fees
  • why on earth should there be? it's just a frickin' database access anyway
  • only charge for withdrawal over a certain limit; possibly exponentially
• find a way to validate ownership of supported URIs later (no reg required)
  • plugins for URIs (eg. twitter:gamambel → notify twitter user gamambel)
  • crowdsource ownership hunt
  • meta tag or http header can describe ownership
  • domain: whois → email when a certain amount has been reached
• allow users to create and group as many uuids they want for stats; allow 'offline creation' of those tokens
• “via” → divide donation between original author and poster

Everyone has great books at home, rotting away (and not only books). We need a web-of-trust OPAC for all kinds of [friend] networks and organizations.

→ Distributed OPAC

Stupid name. I want to go to all kinds of conferences, no matter what area of research, and write about what I learned there or what kind of people I met.

I am interested in really most, if not all, areas of tech research. What I really would like to see is a printed magazine with articles about all research areas of Computer Science: find people with knowledge and interest in a certain area, make them go through workshop proceedings and explain hot topics in a language I can understand.
