Your Nostr Key Is Your Network Address
FIPS makes your Nostr npub a routable network address, unifying identity across social and infrastructure layers in a single self-sovereign keypair.
When Can We Meet? Cross-Server Busy Sync for Nextcloud
Nextcloud can't sync busy times across separate instances. This bash script uses CalDAV to share availability between multiple Nextcloud servers without exposing event details.
The Action That Accomplishes Nothing
Decentralization does not prevent the adversary from acting against you. It ensures that his action accomplishes nothing.
The Mobile Podcast Setup That Actually Works
Testing earbuds, wired mics, and USB-C wireless systems revealed the Yealink BH71 as the best mobile podcast solution for GrapheneOS.
The Code Liberation: How AI Makes Software Infinitely Customizable
When AI handles compilation and patching tasks, source-based computing finally escapes the domain of experts, ending decades of binary distribution monopoly.
Proving You Belong Without Saying Who You Are
Zero-knowledge proofs let Nostr users prove they're trusted without revealing their identity, enabling anonymous rate-limiting and reputation-gated relay access.
Computing on Secrets
Services no longer need to see data to compute on it. Cryptographic and hardware primitives make that contract a deployed reality.
The Colossus Falls - How to End All War
Wars persist because each generation consents to fight them; a generation that refused would be history's last to die in trenches.
Garland: Your Keys, Your Files, No Trusted Third Party
Garland turns Blossom blob storage into a virtual drive on your device. Your Nostr key is your password. No accounts, no cloud lock-in.
Summary of: The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Economic Logic in Cypherpunk Implementation
A book explaining why Privacy = Economic necessity proven through Austrian logic. Three axioms (Action + Argumentation + Resistance) demonstrate that surveillance destroys market calculation like socialist planning, while cryptography restores conditions for voluntary coordination. Complete bridge between Austrian economics and cypherpunk technology.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 21: Building the Parallel Economy
The parallel economy grows through counter-economics. Cheap defense defeats expensive attack. When theft becomes unprofitable, the state withers. Build. Trade. Resist.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 20: Implementation Strategy
Start with honest assessment. Build progressively from basics to advanced. Find community. Privacy is not a destination but ongoing practice. Progress matters.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 19: Operational Security
Operational security prevents adversaries from gathering compromising information. Threat modeling guides defense. Human factors are the weakest link. Perfect OPSEC is impossible.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 18: Lessons from History
DigiCash, e-gold, and Silk Road failed through centralization and poor OPSEC. Bitcoin succeeded through decentralization, open source, and properly aligned economic incentives.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 17: Decentralized Social Infrastructure
Nostr solves identity capture through cryptographic keys users control. Relays compete, moderation is market-driven, and the protocol extends beyond social posts.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 16: Zero-Knowledge Proofs
Zero-knowledge proofs enable verification without disclosure. SNARKs, STARKs, and Bulletproofs make different tradeoffs. Deployed in Zcash and rollups; broader adoption developing.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 15: Bitcoin: Resistance Money
Bitcoin solves double-spending without trusted third parties. Sound money enforced by code. Base layer privacy requires additional tools like Lightning and coinjoin.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 14: Anonymous Communication Networks
The internet leaks metadata. VPNs help locally. Tor distributes trust through relays. Mixnets defeat global adversaries. Choose tools matching your threat model.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 13: Cryptographic Foundations
Cryptography provides mathematical privacy foundations: encryption, hashing, and digital signatures enable trustless verification. Implementation bugs and human error remain the weakest links.
The Praxeology of Privacy ~ Chapter 12: The Crypto Wars
The Crypto Wars pit states against privacy technology. Mathematics ignores legislation. Developers face prosecution. The fundamental conflict is permanent and intensifying.
