Research says people who grew up without a parent who said they were proud of them often develop a habit of moving the goalposts on themselves the moment they get close, because somewhere inside they're still waiting for someone else to tell them they're allowed to stop - The Artful Parent

So let me say it as clearly as I can: Without basic scientific research, supported by the kind of farsighted public investment that allows large-scale, undirected, curiosity-driven inquiry, the scientific pipeline will run dry. In daily life, people may not feel the effects right away, or even in 10 years. But we will feel it. And when someone we love needs therapies that could have emerged but didn't or when other countries now investing in science can launch new science-based industries or run their societies on vast resources of fusion energy or reap the benefits of quantum computing power or advanced medical breakthroughs, America will wish it sustained its leadership in scientific research here and now.

New #Paper published in Quantum: A refined Frauchiger–Renner paradox based on strong contextuality

#OpenScience #Quantum #Research

If you build PH4NTXM, you will notice that the browser missing some "usability" controls, that's actually the trade-off we've done for maximum privacy.

Since we swapped Brave with Firefox-ESR the anti-fingerprinting gain was massive, since it let us literally "touch" its engine.

I'll see and weigh if we can remove something to gain some more usability, and user experience, but won't sacrifice security and privacy for it.

Now, we are in a good place, we have a collection of firmware and software so your security literally starts by the time you hit the power button.

PH4NTXM Firmware is based on LinuxBoot/Heads.

One of the most trusted firmware in the world, used for extreme security and integrity.

PH4NTXM Operating System.

It's Live Only, to-RAM, and session oriented, generating and adapting a consistent disposable identity at boot.

PH4NTXM OpSec Suite.

Your diagnostic Operational Security tool collection, that audits and remediates when you feel you need some extra checks, privacy and security.

Hello guys, hope this day will find you positive and curious!

I pushed some more documentation about the system components and how they are working, it's a bit more detailed so you can understand, audit, debug, contribute.

Will refine the docs even more as the time passes by, next days will be focused there!

This week I was fixing the privacy problems with Brave and Chromium engine which caused us obstacles in terms of anti-fingerprinting.

Had to do a lot of work to ensure Firefox-ESR which I chose as a replacement will do the job and cover our expectations, thankfully it worked out!

Everything works like a charm, if you thought of downloading PH4NTXM now's the time, please go, give it a check and let's find what's good, what's missing and we will refine it together!

Thank you for being here!

EFF Joins the Chorus: There’s No Evidence Supporting Age Verification

Some old news, but always relevant, so we don't forget our OpSec:

I hope y'all have seen the Urban VPN "scandal" by now.

If you haven't caught up, it wasn't just a VPN, it was effectively a wiretap.

Their browser extension was found intercepting AI chats (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) by overriding the fetch() function.

They weren't just logging IPs, they were stealing the actual content of your prompts to sell to data brokers. But the real lesson here isn't just "don't use Urban VPN."

It’s about OpSec 101: Never trust a centralized entity.
If you care about security, the rule is simple: Don't trust, verify.

The moment you hand your traffic to a centralized company, especially a "free" one, you’ve created a single point of failure.

A VPN is just someone else's computer. If you don't own the infrastructure, you don't own your privacy.

Stop looking for "trustworthy" companies and start building a "zero trust" mindset.

The only way to ensure you aren't the product is to use a system where no one has the power to sell you out. Don't trust. Verify. Decentralize.

PH4NTXM is now in a stable phase.

Today, we reinitialized the repository from scratch, with updated and more compact documentation and structure.

It is signed with our GPG key to ensure project verification and trust.

Operating system updates will be released monthly, except for critical security hotfixes.

Documentation will be updated as needed to provide users with detailed usage guides.

New published in Quantum: Multicopy quantum state teleportation with application to storage and retrieval of quantum programs

🐒🎮 A #study involving rhesus #macaques shows that the #animals will engage with touch screen #puzzles even when no food rewards are provided.

Scientists at the University of #Tokyo observed the #primates solving challenges for long periods, suggesting that curiosity and intrinsic motivation are powerful drivers for their behavior. The #research challenges the idea that animal #learning is only motivated by external physical gains.

Most people still think privacy works like this:

“I use a VPN, so I’m anonymous.”

But modern tracking no longer relies only on IP addresses.

Today, systems can fingerprint users through:

* browser behavior
* hardware characteristics
* TCP/IP stack patterns
* DNS behavior
* GPU/rendering fingerprints
* timing signatures
* viewport & display metrics
* runtime inconsistencies across layers

Changing your IP alone often isn’t enough.

That idea led us to build PH4NTXM.

Instead of randomizing things independently, PH4NTXM tries to create a coherent runtime identity where:

* hardware
* networking
* browser environment
* timing behavior
* GPU exposure

all align consistently within the same session.

The project is:

* live-only
* stateless
* non-persistent across boots
* fully open source

Current focus areas include:

* fingerprint surface reduction
* browser hardening
* network personality shaping
* Tor-isolated operation modes
* fail-secure session termination

We’re not claiming “perfect anonymity” — the goal is simply to reduce static identity behavior and avoid contradictory signals as much as possible.

Again, I challenge the traditional concept of authorship by arguing that creating written work has always been a matter of social attribution rather than manual production. The use of AI/LLMs is just the latest evolution in a long history of collaborative writing, much like the accepted roles of ghostwriters, speech writers, and editors.

Industrial electrification is now a security imperative, finds Oxford analysis. “Industry has now lived through two major fossil fuel shocks in three years. First the 2022 gas crisis and now Hormuz. At some point you have to ask: how many times does the alarm have to go off before we change the system?”

PH4NTXM is now in a stable state.

6+ months straight, day and night, countless builds, trial and error with a lot of work and research. Built something that isn’t just a project — it’s an ecosystem.

It’s not “finished.” It never will be. That’s the point.

This isn’t ours anymore.
It belongs to all of us.

PH4NTXM is now a piece of the open source community — something we shape together, break together, rebuild together.

Take it:
- download it,
- run it,
- break it,
- rebuild it,
- fork it,
- contribute to it,
- make it your own.

If you’re into low-level systems, Linux internals, networking, runtime behavior — this is your playground.
If you’re not (yet), even better. Learn by getting your hands dirty inside it.

Everything you need is here:
https://github.com/PH4NTXMOFFICIAL/PH4NTXM

This is bigger than a system.

It’s a step toward building the future of privacy we deserve — and that should belong to all of us by right.

In an era of constant surveillance, we need tools that give power back —
systems that reinforce our right to privacy, not take it away.

PH4NTXM is a foundation for that direction.

Take it apart. Push it further. Contribute!

PH4NTXM is yours now.
