 Helios Voting

Helios offers verifiable online elections.

We believe democracy is important, whether it’s your book club, parent-teacher association, student government, workers’ union, or state. So we’ve made truly verifiable elections as easy as everything else on the Web.

Helios elections are:

  • private: no one knows how you voted.
  • verifiable: each voter gets a tracking number.
  • proven: Helios is open-source, vetted by top-tier experts, and in use by major organizations.

Network transparency with Wayland

Posted on by Paolo Redaelli

From: GSOC 2019 – M. Stoeckl’s website :

A 1024 by 768 SuperTuxKart window during a race, running with linear-format DMABUFs, losslessly replicated without compression via ssh on localhost, requires about 130MB/s of bandwidth and runs at about 40 FPS. (Using LZ4 or Zstd for compression would reduce bandwidth, but on localhost or a very fast network would take more time than would be saved by the bandwidth reduction.) Using the new --hwvideo flag to enable VAAPI encoding and decoding with a generation 8 Intel iGPU, the framerate goes up to 80 FPS, and bandwidth drops to 4 MB/second.

Impressive, pretty impressive!
