Paradux: Recovering from Maximum Personal Data Disaster (When It Is Lost)


Wednesday 9G

Convener: Johannes Ernst

Notes-taker(s): Johannes Ernst


Tags for the session - technology discussed/ideas considered:



Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:


Usually we talk about too many people having access to too much of our personal data.


Paradux is about the opposite: what happens if some part (or all) of your personal data suddenly disappears, due to natural disaster, or …? What if you yourself have amnesia, or are out of commission temporarily (or permanently!)


In this session, walked through the Paradux presentation: https://upon2020.com/talks/paradux/ and code at https://github.com/paradux/paradux/


Got tough feedback, but I think Paradux survived unscathed and fit for purpose. Many new ideas what else Paradux could be applied to, and perhaps some new source code contributors.
