Finally home from #hopeconf and I had an envelope from DJ Emeraldas @x00001 waiting for me! She's sent me a small pile of #RadioFreeSociety stickers just in time for DEF CON!

I'll have them on hand but supplies will go fast! Plus one has to go on the sticker wall if there is one!

Look alive, Chooms! As #hopeconf draws to a close on this balmy summer day in the Tri-City Dystopia, we hope all our listeners and all you Netrunners, pirates, hackers, and cool kids had a great time mingling and hacking and learning! We look forward to HOPE XVI in two years!

We got a track that will keep the good vibes going through everyone's trips home! https://youtu.be/wpJpaLTK5-0

Big shout outs to all of our Chooms! It was so awesome to meet many of the Townies in person and everyone else! Much Club Mate was consumed, many Gibsons were hacked, and bringing everyone together was part of the game! You're all a lovely wonderful bunch of weirdos!

And especially big shout out to @thegibson and @Medus4 for their awesome @VeilidNetwork and bringing so many people in to help take back the web!

Keep that energy going, Chooms! Remember to be the rust upon the corpo gears! We can make the Internet something special again! #HackThePlanet always! DJ Jotaro, out!

The rapid, precipitous decline of every digital service we depend on isn't a coincidence. It's the result of specific known, policy choices made by specific, named individuals.

Micah Lee's @micahflee talk today on investigating hacked datatsets was intriguing. He also wrote the book on this topic with many examples of how actual investigations went. https://hacksandleaks.com/.
