Meta-Press.es : Decentralized search engine for press reviews

Clairvoyance 🔮
Siltaar
Meta-Press.es is a WebExtention to help you exploring the online press, with no middlemen between the newspapers and your web browser. It allows you to discover millions of results within seconds and lists the last ones of each sources. Searches can be scheduled and results can be selected and exported.
Meta-Press.es is a free software project built as a decentralized alternative to Google News. It is developed by Simon Descarpentries, ex-member of La Quadrature du Net, treasurer of the Fund for Defense of Net Neutrality FDN2.org and web artisan with 20 years of experience. Meta-Press.es runs entirely from your web browser and requires nothing else than online newspapers with internal search features to run. It supports currently more than 450 sources (newspapers, scientific press, online agendas…) but everything is made to help users contributing more sources. Using Meta-Press.es, there is no data sent to third parties (including our servers). We're not asking the users to believe us about the respect of their privacy, it's a matter of verifiable fact. No Meta-Press.es servers also means that Meta-Press.es is not a single point of failure, surveillance or censorship, like GAFAM are. Meta-Press.es helps you evading the swamp of third-party trackers and it works great from a Tor Browser.

This is a submission for a keynote talk at MCH2022. The Internet is both a familiar, comfortable place as well as a bottomless rabbit hole you can lose yourself in. The Internet has always been like this from its inception, the difference now is the scale and consequences are almost immeasurable - and it tests the limits of human imagination. When you look into the mirror of the Internet what you see reflected back depends on what you are looking for. It has become largely a reflection of ...

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public. This talk presents Passcrow, an Open Source project attempting to address one of crypto's largest usability issues: password and key recovery in a decentralized environment.

Thanks to DNSSEC and DANE, it is possible to automatically verify user@domain.name identities by checking with domain.name servers. The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
