MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

Firejail is a security sandbox tool designed to enhance the security of applications by isolating them in a sandbox environment. It is a free and open-source software available for Linux-based operating systems. Firejail was created by Antti Kantee and is maintained by a community of developers.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Features

[edit]
  • Sandboxing: Firejail allows users to run applications in isolated environments, preventing them from accessing sensitive files and system resources.
  • SELinux Integration: It integrates with SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) to provide robust security policies.
  • Resource Limitation: Firejail can limit the resources (CPU, memory, etc.) that a sandboxed application can use.
  • Network Isolation: It can restrict network access for sandboxed applications, enhancing security against network-based attacks.
  • Filesystem Access Control: Firejail provides fine-grained control over which files and directories an application can access.

Usage

[edit]

Firejail is typically used to run potentially untrusted applications or scripts in a controlled environment. It can be invoked directly from the command line or configured to run specific applications automatically.[8][9]

Sailfish OS

Sailfish OS is an operating system for mobile phones developed by Jolla. It is Linux-based with AppSupport, a proprietary compatibility layer for Android and custom user interface by Jolla. The OS first shipped with the original Jolla Phone in 2013; while its sale stopped in 2016, it was supplied with software updates until the end of 2020. It also shipped with Jolla Tablet in 2015 and from other vendors licensing the OS. The OS is ported by community enthusiasts to third-party mobile devices including smartphones and tablet computers. Sailfish OS is mostly used for mobile phones and tablets.

Kodachi OS

Kodachi OS (formerly Linux Kodachi) is a Debian-based Linux distribution developed by Warith Al Maawali. It is designed to provide a privacy- and security-focused computing environment by integrating technologies such as VPN routing, the Tor network, encrypted DNS, application sandboxing, and encrypted storage. The distribution is available in desktop and terminal editions and can be run as a Live operating system or installed on a computer. According to the project's documentation, recent releases have introduced a Rust-based architecture together with AI-assisted system administration(KAICS) and security management features.

Sandbox (computer security)

In computer security, a sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually in an effort to mitigate system failures and/or software vulnerabilities from spreading. The sandbox metaphor derives from the concept of a child's sandbox—a play area where children can build, destroy, and experiment without causing any real-world damage. It is often used to analyze untested or untrusted programs or code, possibly originating from unverified or untrusted third parties, suppliers, users or websites, without risking harm to the host machine or operating system. A sandbox typically provides a tightly controlled set of resources for guest programs to run in, such as storage and memory scratch space. Network access, the ability to inspect the host system, or read from input devices are usually disallowed or heavily restricted. In the sense of providing a highly controlled environment, sandboxing can be comparable to virtualization. Sandboxing is frequently used to test unverified programs that may contain a virus or other malicious code without allowing the software to harm the host device.

Greenwood / Black Wall Street

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
