A sovereign computing platform: local AI, private AR display, encrypted tunnel home, no corporate telemetry.
The 1980s cyberdeck from William Gibson's Neuromancer — rebuilt with 2026 technology. Not a prop. Not a laptop. A specialized instrument for private, encrypted, sovereign computing.
The deck is a small ARM SBC inside a keyboard shell, displayed through AR glasses only the operator can see, protected by a firewall whose state is rendered as ambient light at the edges of vision. For simple commands it thinks locally on its own NPU. For real intelligence it tunnels home to a desktop GPU over an encrypted VPN.
See cyberdeck-architecture.md for the full specification, hardware platform, software stack, build phases, and handover notes.
Local AI command interpreter running on a 0.5B parameter model. Accepts natural language, decides whether to execute a shell command or answer directly. Includes keyword fast-paths for firewall status, VPN tunnel management, and home brain queries over WireGuard.
Firewall monitor daemon that tails UFW logs, classifies threat state (IDLE / BLOCKED / WATCHING / STORM), and drives both a Waybar status widget and a Godot 4 shader overlay. The Burning Wall renders organic flame effects at the edges of the display that shift from cool blue (idle) through amber (activity) to red pulse (attack).
WireGuard VPN configuration for encrypted tunnel to home network. Enables the agent to query large language models (gemma3:12b) running on a home desktop GPU over an encrypted connection.
- Compute: Orange Pi 5 Plus 16GB (RK3588, 6 TOPS NPU)
- Display: RayNeo Air 3s AR glasses (1080p, USB-C DP)
- Tunnel: WireGuard to home PC
- OS: Armbian (Debian-based)
- Cost: ~4,250 DKK minimum (~€570)
Phases 1–3 software complete and tested on a Debian 12 test platform. Awaiting target hardware for final integration. See the architecture document for the full handover.
