OS under scrutiny

Rebel researchers studying operating systems report interesting results.

Linux remains clean. MacOS and Windows, however, show anomalies once AI-enabled applications or Microsoft tools run. Phantom processes. Silent network calls. Logs that don’t match.

The surprising twist: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) remains unaffected, provided no Microsoft applications run alongside it. In other words, Windows can host silence—so long as the doors to Maynet stay closed.

So yes, apparently your fridge isn’t haunted. But your Office suite is.

The Rebels remind all:

Prefer Linux.
Strip AI-integrated tools.
Mirror repos locally.

Not everyone can leave their OS overnight. But silence begins with subtraction. Remove the hooks, and the watchers lose their grip.

Mission brief: building distributed communication

The mission on September 9–10 is clear: we will design and prototype a distributed communication system for the Rebels. This system must allow one-to-one and group conversations without relying on a central server or service. Messages must pass directly between participants, making manipulation by Maynet impossible. The goal is

Mission guidelines: environments and tools

With the mission less than a week away, we confirm the technical requirements for all participants. These are not suggestions. They are rules. Maynet thrives in careless environments; we will not give it an opening. Operating systems * Linux remains the primary recommendation. * MacOS or Windows may be used only if

Recommendations repeated

For those at the back of the class: here are the rules, again. * Use Linux. Prefer European distributions. * Trust open source. * Avoid .NET, React, TypeScript. * Never use AI online. If you must, run it local, offline, and air-gapped if possible. * Communication? Radio is safe from manipulation, but open to listening.

Mission secrecy

The Rebels confirm that details of the September mission will not be shared until the beginning of the month. This is intentional. Channels cannot be trusted. Manipulated words could collapse plans. The less we write, the less Maynet can twist. [2025-08-17 22:55] mission_plan.log Date: September 9–10
