  • Reject surveillance capitalism with a full compliment of customized security and privacy techniques.
  • Maintain a small, quiet and professional footprint while providing a platform for ongoing security research.
  • Navigate regions of the net traditionally considered unsafe.
  • Proof-of-concept for curious onlookers: a small form factor home office/gaming system can be constructed and used comfortably with IBM Power9 + Raptor’s Blackbird.
Illusion, deployed.
