Maltego Renewal & Disinfodrome Revival

Both are coming along nicely.

Maltego:

The Maltego renewal stumbled a bit, because large charge outside the U.S., but the credit card company fixed that overnight.

Disinfodrome:

Someone has agreed to provide the first month of funding for Reviving Disinfodrome.

What you see here is Titan, the little HP EliteDesk G5, which is temporarily running the most recent Proxmox while I figure out how to restore the Open Semantic Search base virtual machine used to create Disinfodrome systems.

And here’s a complete virtual machine with its associated hard drive.

When you export a Proxmox VM it remembers the name of the ZFS dataset where it was originally created. I pulled Titan’s Windows 11 drive and installed Proxmox to use it for the restoration. Opti has a mirrored pair of 5TB drives and renaming the top level dataset would involve a couple twenty plus hour processes swapping drives around and then rebuilding the mirror.

So a Euro-Disinfodrome will happen, but it’ll be next week. I want to make it easy to move virtual machines between the two Proxmox systems I have here and whatever is rented in a safe jurisdiction. That’s going to require some elbow grease.

Conclusion:

I’d like to thank all of you for the combination of words of encouragement and various amounts of fiat that are allowing this to move forward.
