qubes os and tor use

All lefties should use qubes os (with whonix) and disposable vms. Spread to as many as possible and donate to both qubes and tor:  qubes-os.org/intro "Qubes OS is best described as a Xen distribution running virtual Linux domains. Xen is a very stable and mature bare-metal type 1 hypervisor. This type of virtualization is analogous to what you may be picturing when using a product like VirtualBox with one important difference. A type 1 hypervisor has has no operating system running below it which can be compromised. Xen is installed on the bare metal and can then create and manage virtual machines. This architecture allows Qubes to create separate virtual machines (domains, in Xen parlance) in which to run applications. This ensures that risky applications can’t affect trusted applications, or even write to the underlying file system." First time use qubes in setup tick whonix and enable updates over tor. Chat and share files using Dino IM and OMEMO over tor:  whonix.org/wiki...

Proposal for Skyhook: Revolutionizing Space Access and Asteroid Mining

Proposal for Skyhook: Revolutionizing Space Access and Asteroid Mining Executive Summary: The Skyhook is a novel space infrastructure concept that proposes the use of a rotating tether system made of high-strength materials such as Zylon (a material with exceptional tensile strength) to provide a massive propulsion boost to spacecraft, reducing reliance on traditional rocket technology. By using a system of redundant fibres for safety and small chemical or electrical engines to maintain the position of the tether, this technology has the potential to drastically reduce the cost of space exploration and asteroid mining. This proposal outlines the feasibility, potential applications, and critical role that Skyhooks can play in affordable asteroid mining, reducing travel time to Mars, and scaling spacecraft sizes by up to 96% . 1. Background and Need Space exploration and asteroid mining are facing immense cost and logistical barriers. Traditional rocketry is expensive, inefficien...
