Since there are a significant number of nerds here, I wanted to start a thread for projects.

People seem to INSIST on using cloud storage, which removes your ability of privacy, so I'm going to write a strong encryption program using the NaCL librarary;

https://nacl.cr.yp.to/

The goal here is that the resulting encrypted data is impossible to recover without getting the original key. Keys are changed regularly, and being able to brute force one block will give the attacker no advantage in cracking the next block.

Also, it will be computationally expensive to attempt to crack even with specialized hardware. This increases energy consumption and slows down the encryption and decryption, but also will make brute force attacks 1000's of times slower.

I am using NetSurf now. Seems rather crude or overly simple, but it is fast and does not crash.


I'm sure it lacks polish, but that's not the point. I frequently make throw away interfaces just so I can worry about more important things than if it's pretty or not. I've got the design taste of post modern art appreciator which is to say, none.

Remember when lots of people had tiny little pages with "About Me" posted and so on, and their interests, etc? I really want to bring that back. FaceBook, YouTube, and Twitter will ALL disconnect you from a person without even notifying you. They don't allow free association.

A simple web browser that follows a few rules will prevent you from accessing much of the Internet - well, GOOD! The VAST MAJORITY of the Internet is just centralized corporate garbage. If people want to promote their website to the "real web" fine, but I think there should be a simple, easy to access, little web that doesn't require any setup other than to install a program on your computer and leave your machine running and maybe not even leave it running, the webpage can be cached on somebody's machine that recently visited your site.
