Agenda

Notes

Ian

• Starting backup system. Going for frequent snapshots, into system grain.
• Working on appindex csp. Having it use powerbox.
• Sandcal small improvements
• Looking at grants to apply to (e.g. https://nlnet.nl/, deadline 2 weeks). A couple large projects that could use a grant.
  • A distro? A device that plugs into router?
• Looking at how to fix WebRTC spec so we can block it. right now there is no way to block it in the browser.

Jim

• Working on installing Sandstorm w/o terminal. Trying script on Linode. Harden it in other ways (fail2ban, enable reboots with unattended-upgrades, etc.)
  • What about a distro? Ian has been thinking about this. Rolling one's own is hard. Start with bare bones? (something like https://libreelec.tv/)
    • Upgrade Path needed
  • No need for install token if we could just get SMTP working immediately, somehow

Jake

• Nuthin

Dan

• Staring a bit more at the storage feature. Meteor.publish/Meteor.subscribe and collections, hacking.
