This looks like a great project, I just became aware of it.

I actually just recently built my own Tails variant with networking code stripped out because I wanted an airgapped amnesic environment to run my "Inkan Management Utility". It's a utility that generates key pairs together with on-chain declarations that delegate and revoke signing authority between keys, for a kind of decentralized PKI that enables cold storage identities for Nostr.

I wonder if DTails is capable of stripping networking out of an image too, for a dedicated "airgapped" build?

I updated the Inkan Management Utility, the app that allows you to create identities and key delegations and revocations on an airgapped system.

The app now generates QRs that can be directly scanned by NIP-46 signers like Amber, using NIP-49 ncryptsec. This is handy when you've moving a delegatee signing keys around, just scan and it's there.

The source is available at https://gitlab.com/inkan_dev/inkan-management-utility. It's the part of Inkan that actually handles privkeys, so feel free to analyze it or point your AI at it, and let me know any issues.

There's also a Linux AppImage at https://www.inkan.cc/settings/inkan-management-utility.
