    "I give up on making our streets better". An absolute BANGER of a rant from Hayden explaining why he's closing Streets Alive Glen Eira. highcapacityhayden.substack.co 1/5 #melbourne #cycling #urbanism #GlenEira

    This month, I’m helping 3 local businesses in Glen Eira and Port Phillip go "Sovereign." We’ll audit your tech stack, reduce your international data exposure, and move you toward tools you actually own. If you’re ready to go local and go people, DM me "LOCAL" and let’s grab a coffee.

    There’s a myth that "Big Tech" is more secure because they are big. In reality, their complexity is their weakness. Open-source tools are transparent—thousands of eyes can see the code, meaning vulnerabilities are found and fixed by the community, not hidden by a corporate PR department. Simple, local, and secure.

    Digital sovereignty isn't just about software; it’s about the physical tools we use. Why buy a "disposable" laptop from a global chain when you can source, repair, and upgrade locally?

    Reducing the "international upgrade cycle" is better for your wallet and the planet. Let’s keep our hardware running longer with local expertise.

    Digital Sovereignty isn't just about fancy software—it's about having a local safety net. By moving her toward more secure, transparent tools and teaching her the "red flags," we’ve turned a stressful situation into a lesson in digital empowerment.

    If you or a small business owner you know feels "exposed" by their current tech setup, don't wait for a scam to happen. Let’s get you secure now.

    People often ask why I’m so vocal about the Fediverse and decentralized social media. It’s simple: I believe the "town square" shouldn't be owned by a single global corporation. In Glen Eira and Port Phillip, we value our local community hubs—our digital hubs should be no different. No algorithms, no tracking, just people.

    Saturday morning tech tip: Take 5 minutes to check your "Location History" in your primary mobile account. You’ll likely find a minute-by-minute map of your life stored on a server in another country. Switching to local, privacy-first maps and tools isn't just for "techies"—it’s for anyone who values their digital boundaries.

    Imagine a business where you aren't worried about the next data breach from a global provider or a sudden price hike. That’s the peace of mind that comes with digital sovereignty. It’s not just tech; it’s business insurance for the modern age.

    Every dollar spent on international tech subscriptions is a dollar that leaves our local economy. By choosing local IT experts and open-source tools, we reinvest in Glen Eira and Port Phillip. Let’s keep our community's digital wealth right here.

    As a "vibe coder," I believe tech should feel right. It should align with your business values, not just a corporate bottom line. We’re building a tech ecosystem in Melbourne that prioritises authenticity and local connection over global tracking. Let’s build something real.

    @craiglambie42 : I'm a #GlenEira resident who is tentatively interested, but would be even more interested if your image included alt-text. :)

    I’m launching a new movement in Melbourne: Go Local, Go People. Tech shouldn't be a cold, international utility. It should be a local craft supported by people you can actually meet for a coffee. I’m helping businesses in our community reduce their reliance on big tech and move toward sovereign, open-source solutions. Who’s with me?

    The biggest search engine provider knows your office location, your commute, and your customer habits better than you do. But "free" tools come at a high price. When you move to local, open-source alternatives, you stop being the product and start being the owner. It’s time to take back control of your digital footprint.

  17. Craig Lambie @craiglambie42 ·

    Digital Sovereignty sounds complex, but it’s simple: It’s the difference between renting your business tools and owning them. When the biggest social media providers change their algorithms or pricing, you shouldn't have to scramble. By using open-source tools, you own the keys to your kingdom.

    Ever tried getting a human on the phone from a Global tech giant when your email goes down?
    Good Luck!
    Local IT means having a partner in your timezone, who knows your neighbourhood. It's about human centric support that values your time over a support ticket number.

    Huzzah! The #GlenEira #RepairCafe got a write-up in the local paper!

    (Yes, that's me in the photograph and being quoted in the article.)

    Another successful day at the #GlenEira #RepairCafe.

    Fixed lots of items, but the most satisfying was repairing this *gorgeous* antique, made-in-Melbourne fan.

    Holy smokes, my preferred candidate made it (by a whisker) in the local council elections! 🎉

    Good news for a change! "The Minister for Transport Infrastructure has decided the Level Crossing Removal Project (LXRP) will build a separated, on-road, Copenhagen-style cycling corridor on Queens Avenue, Caulfield." This was the most popular of the choices on offer, and may be the first on-road protected bike lane in Glen Eira. #melbourne #GlenEira #BikeLanes #LXRP

    Noted: they have not included Glen Eira Rd as a key bike route, despite it being a State Strategic Cycling Corridor. Does anyone know what the status of the SCCs are in local council planning? @augustusbrown @philip @danielbowen #cycling #BikeLanes #melbourne #GlenEira

    CW: Local Glen Eira council bike politics

    The last Glen Eira tranport policy only had one substantial project to improve conditions for residents on bikes: a demonstration bike lane project on Inkerman Rd. In subsequent years they squibbed this, and since then they've only done stuff of small utility (like putting in speed bumps on the Rosstown Rail trail). Now they have a "transport policy refresh". It's full of motherhood statements about "encouraging cycling" and "improving safety" but does nothing to actually contribute to this.

    CW: Glen Eira bicycle lane politics

    Glen Eira BUG has issued a call to action regarding the proposed bike lane on Queens Avenue Caulfield. Queens Avenue is a key Strategic Cycling Corridor, that will help link the Djerring Trail with the Frankston line trail.

    1. Email councillors requesting they support a modified Option 2 or in its absence Option 1.

    2. Attend the Council meeting at 7.30pm this coming Tuesday (6th February) to show your support for the creation of a safe bike path along Queens Ave.

    3. Phone or email State MPs and let them know you support a modified Option 2 or in its absence Option 1.

    One side of the street has gone organic and recycling, one side has gone organic and landfill. Tomorrow: four bins enter, three bins get emptied!

    Do you live in or visit the City of Glen Eira? They are asking for feedback on their Transport Strategy. In their last Transport Strategy, the single project to encourage cycling was a pilot project of a protected bike lane on Inkerman Rd. They didn't build it. Come on Glen Eira, you can do better!
