Every layer — from the hardware on my desk to the runtime that ties it together. For anyone who finished The Case and wants the specifics.
The home server — a Raspberry Pi 5 running 24/7. Source of truth for the entire ecosystem. It runs local AI inference, holds the encrypted vault, serves this website, and coordinates all other nodes over a private encrypted mesh. Hardware owned outright. No monthly fee. No terms of service.
The private services — vault, terminal, AI — live behind a separate encrypted endpoint reachable only from your own devices. The public website runs on a completely isolated address with no connection to the private layer. Even if the public site were fully compromised, the vault and terminal remain unreachable.
The native operating environment built on top of Linux. When a node boots, it boots into Lazana. The kernel, the display server, the process manager — all invisible. What you see is a native desktop with its own visual language, its own apps, and its own runtime. Still being built. Already running.
PAD (primary workspace), Vault (end-to-end encrypted storage), a live terminal, and full system administration. Every app runs locally, routes through a single internal service layer, and sends nothing outside the network.
Lazana ships with AIDA — a custom-built agent that's part of the OS, not a bolt-on. She runs on your hardware, maintains awareness across the stack, and routes inference to local models. No data leaves the network.
A Compute Module 4 in a custom enclosure running a full Lazana OS installation. Not a thin client — it has its own encrypted vault, its own AIDA instance, and its own on-device AI. It peers with Earthseed over a private mesh and stays fully functional offline.
The CM4 runs Lazana in software-rendered mode — hardware-accelerated rendering is on the roadmap as the platform matures. The service layer runs independently of the shell, so all services stay live even through a shell restart.
There's one more layer. The part that makes all of this replicable — not just for me. It's built into the name of this project. When it's ready to share, it'll be here.
