"This 2018 Creality Ender 3 - it was so ancient it didn't even have some of the security features that 3D printers have now. So it was one of these printers that could theoretically have kept going and burned my house down. So in order to update the firmware… they block VPNs. Going through Tor." Gabriel Custodiet (Watchman Privacy) on this week's Freedom Tech Friday on why the cheapest 3D printer is almost always the wrong move — and why an extra $120 buys you a generation of progress in safety and usability.

"For around 300 bucks you get a pretty cool, all-in-one manufacturing tool that 150 years ago, you would need an entire warehouse in Victorian England to be able to do this kind of stuff." Gabriel Custodiet making the case for the $300 Elegoo Centauri Carbon on this week's Freedom Tech Friday — beginner-friendly, mostly open source, runs completely offline.

"From the moment you allow someone to print something, they can always find a way. But the landscape is terrifying - that now you get dictated what you can write on your Word document, you get told what you can and cannot print, and what you can and cannot do with your money." Urban Hacker (Watchman Privacy) on this week's Freedom Tech Friday, on why 3D printer censorship is just one front in a much bigger trend. Full episode: @MaxUM @Seth For Privacy @Ungovernable Misfits
Today’s project: a PWA for AI-generated audio summaries of podcasts and articles. Paste an RSS feed or an article URL. The pipeline transcribes, summarises to 5-10 minutes, and renders the output as an MP3 served in a private RSS feed I can subscribe to from any podcast app. New episodes from my subscribed shows auto-flow as they publish. The PWA replaces my podcast app entirely. Library, lock-screen controls, AirPods skip, scrub, bookmarks with notes, an Up Next queue that auto-plays, and a chat window that answers questions about whatever I’m listening to using only the source transcript. Stack runs entirely on my Mac. Whisper local for transcription. Kokoro local for TTS. Claude Sonnet 4.6 for summaries via the Claude Code CLI so it bills against my flat Max plan rather than per-token. Everything served behind Tailscale, just for me. No SaaS, no per-episode cost, no third party holding the data. Oh, and I built the whole thing from my phone. 😂 image
Another proof-of-concept output from QnAI Labs for Passport Prime thanks to Claude and the KeyOS SDK. • Generate and save passwords securely offline on Prime • Connects via an amnesic browser extension • Fill saved passwords with a swipe on Prime • Domain aware requests. Prime only prompts to release data if the domain matches the site you're visiting • Import your existing vault from Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, Apple, Proton No cloud, no sync, no passwords saved in the browser. Your passwords live with you, on hardware you control. What will you build? #AskNostr
"They are not gonna shut Claude down. They are not gonna imprison the people behind it. So it is just nonsense. Until they let our friends out of prison who are innocent, it is all just fucking words and bullshit." Until Samourai, Storm and William Hill walk free — it is posturing. https://fountain.fm/episode/erAwAvq8jZ4C6Qmn55zP @MaxUM
Max on what AI actually does to the labour market: "The people who could just memorise — the lawyers, the finance pros, the calculators with shit haircuts — they will lose their jobs. And the creative types who could actually think… in a way, the starving artist starts to thrive and the twat dies." Full Bitcoin Brief: https://fountain.fm/episode/erAwAvq8jZ4C6Qmn55zP @MaxUM
"Maybe something that could be done with @LNbits and linking into what @Foundation are doing. You’ve got the Passport Prime with your SDK, and I think we could probably do something interesting. A VLS for @LNbits within the Passport Prime." BC on last week's #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY 👀 Full episode: @Ungovernable Misfits @Seth For Privacy @MaxUM
No #FREEDOMTECHFRIDAY today. Myself and @Seth For Privacy will be travelling home from Vegas. Hope you’re good folks. Got some more cool shit to show you next week ✌️
