Avoiding lock-ins
Emergency Live USB
Liberté linux (gentoo based) as candidate for a minimalist Live USB for emergencies, adapted to our needs. For practice three versions: One version using tor, another with i2p, and one to be determined (for in "cut off" national internets). After that, on demand, based on the likely emergency parameters in local threat models made by gendersec people.
