I have some INCREDIBLY exciting news. I’m going to be working full time on free software!
Specifically, I have been awarded an EU grant to work on https://spectrum-os.org, a security-through-compartmentalization-based operating system in the style of Qubes, powered and managed by Nix.
@qyliss yo that rules congrats
@qyliss Congratulations!
@qyliss this is fantastic, congrats!
@qyliss good luck!
@qyliss wow that’s so cool!
@qyliss Oh wow, this looks like a super cool project!
The NSA (!) contributed a bunch of work to X.Org for isolation between clients (I merged the contributions that were for XCB but the bigger part of the work was server-side) and I'm wondering whether you could use any of that.
Also what is Xpra doing that takes a minute to start up? That's horrifying and hopefully fixable.
@qyliss congratulations!
I can understand why you would be excited.
@qyliss awesome! congrats!
Good luck! Free/libre needs more such instances of sponsorships.
What do you think of unikernels? One of the unikernel guys tried something in Qubes and blogged about it at roscidus.com/blog .
What about #plan9 ? 9front.org ... and

@qyliss
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
@qyliss that's amazing! congratulations :D 
@qyliss This would fix the number one issue I have with Nixos: The fact that it doesn't actually enforce the separation that it's built on.
@qyliss That's huge, congratulations!!
@qyliss that’s great news! Well done :)
@qyliss Looks interesting :)
