# InterPlanetary File System
## Identification
[[Go programming language|Go]], [[InterPlanetary File System|IPFS]], [[Tor|Tor]], and [[CERN|CERN]] represent distributed services, anonymity, and research infrastructure. [[GNU GRUB|GRUB 2]] is a boot loader; live media and utility partitions preserve recovery paths outside the installed OS.
## Notebook evidence
- [[Scanned_20260730-1719#PDF page 29 — Coreboot, Pop!_OS, Go, IPFS, CERN, and boot research questions|PDF page 29: Coreboot, Pop!_OS, Go, IPFS, CERN, and boot research questions]] — The author is imagining a bootable node rather than merely a desktop: open firmware, a Linux userland, portable network services, and a recovery partition or live environment. “48-8K” may be a project-size or memory note, but is too uncertain to interpret.
## Relationships and overlays
The source places this note in a shared evidence cluster with [[CERN|CERN]] · [[GNU GRUB|GNU GRUB]] · [[Go programming language|Go programming language]] · [[Tor|Tor]].
Within the larger collection, this evidence extends [[Vendor-Agnostic Recovery|vendor-agnostic recovery]] and [[Continuity Architecture|continuity architecture]] by showing how software, hardware, identity, and pre-OS control depend on recoverable interfaces.
## Evidentiary status and open leads
Specify service boundaries: what runs pre-boot, in initramfs, in the host OS, or in a VM/container? Add network identity, update, and signing models.
