Welcome back to Geopolitics and Empire. The one thing you can do for me today is head over to expatmoney.com

slash geopolitics. It's my new old sponsor, Mikkel Thorup, who does great work over at Expat Money.

He's got a podcast. I've been on his podcast and he helps people internationalize through in Panama and many other

countries. There's a free Plan B special report which you can get through the link expatmoney.com

slash geopolitics. So head on over there. I've got a copy of the PDF as well. I think it's like

2030 pages going through all that sort of stuff.

Returning to the podcast, where we can say this is his first time flying solo on geopolitics and empire.

I think last time was with Matthew Crawford, Gabe of Gabe.org's his website.

He's also on substack as well as Libre at Solutions. Network. All of the links will be in the description. Welcome back, Gabe.

Hello. It's an honor to be here, again, especially, but also after so much, I am currently in the process of reinventing a lot of what I'm working on. Part of this is building up my

skills. I am actually trying to get good at programming. I've always been fairly technical, but programming

itself is a different skill than just being technical. And so I'm building a couple of different things.

I've started progress on my RSS reader, but I'm also rebuilding my own websites with different things in mind.

Because my big thing, when I got on to this space and wanted to talk to people about tech

freedom and really just the surveillance and technocracy aspects to many of the things that are

going on right now, I really wanted to help people reclaim cyberspace, is how I say it. You know, we need to

have our own voices, our own presences so that we can actually make the information landscape

better rather than the top-down mess that it is. And so I want to really walk the walk, whereas

for most of my websites, there actually are hidden services on Tor and I2P, the Darknets,

and I've experimented with self-hosting different federated social media services.

I have a good grasp of how these things work in practice, and now I'm trying to really

level up and build a content management system, a website system, to run my own websites.
