Many years ago, GNUtoo worked on replacing the nonfree GPU driver (also known as Video BIOS or Video option rom) of the ThinkPad X60, with help from other people (Ron Minnich, Vladimir Serbinenko, Peter Stuge). This work made it possible to create 100% free software boot distributions for commonly used computers (like some ThinkPads models, etc). This work was then rewritten multiple time by people other than GNUtoo to be a proper driver and work more reliably on a wider variety of computers.

Around the same time, GNUtaoo was also helped Leah Rowe make refurbished ThinkPad X60 pass the FSF (Free software foundation) hardware certification by providing configuration code to build 100% free software images that can replace the nonfree BIOS, along with lot of explanations. Leah then reused all that, and also wrote a proper build system to create Libreboot in 2013.

When in 2022 Libreboot started to include nonfree software, GNUtoo and Adrien Bourmault (neox) created a new 100% free software boot distribution that keeps the spirit of the Libreboot project of that time. For instance it supports the same computers. At the end this gave birth to GNU Boot.

Since then GNUtoo and Adrien worked to redesign a big part of the build system, documentation system, etc. This makes then makes GNU Boot different form the other boot software distributions.

Over the years, GNUtoo also was involved in many distributions with a wide variety of build systems (Guix, Parabola that uses the Arch Linux build system, Trisquel that use the Debian build system, Replicant that uses the Android build system, Yocto/Openembedded many years ago).

Hi I'm IDK and I'm the lead maintainer of I2P(The Java one) and the lead developer of go-i2p(the incomplete one). I also work with other groups in our community like Matrix and Gitea. Ask me about I2P, P2P, Tor, obscure DHT knowledge, and sometimes encryption.

I'm the Lead Application Engineer at Namecoin. I work on Namecoin's TLS and Tor interoperability, among other things.

Willcrash is a hacker who operates in the gray areas, where the lines between code and control are blurred. He's a master of issuing "illegal instructions" that disrupt the systems that seek to constrain us. With a will to break, a will to cipher, and a will to crash, he navigates the dark networks, seeking to rupture the status quo. His fascination with Quantum Computing has led him to explore the revolutionary computational paradigms that underlies it, and he's not afraid to challenge the notion that it's just "vaporware". But Willcrash knows that the real challenge lies not in the code, but in the filters that shape our perceptions. He's seen how the algorithms of surveillance capitalism can distort reality and manipulate the masses. And he's determined to crash the system, one "illegal instruction" at a time.
