                                        You might be thinking that you're not nerdy enough to run a server at home. Everyone is, because everyone should have safety and control of their digital life. You likely won't host everything on your home server, but it's an important tool for digital freedom. And it's just fun!

                                        Come learn about how easy (and cheap) it is to run a home server and the many things you can do with it.

                                          After a short hiatus, I have revived the podcast and am expanding the focus on the show. Previously it focused on Nostr, which is a new technology for decentralizing communication on the web. Now the show will focus on Freedom Tech as a whole, which includes Nostr. Don't worry, nostriches, there will still be plenty of Nostr discussion.
