No need for things like phone numbers or registering to any app stores. There are no databases to be hacked. Allowing users to send E2EE messages and files; no cloud, no trace.
Features:
PWA
P2P
End to end encryption
Signal protocol
Post-Quantum cryptography
Multimedia
File transfer
Video calls
Local-first
No registration
No installation
No database
TURN serverThe live demo is up and running now. We want to build this around what you actually need, so please give the demo a spin and share your feedback, feature requests, or general thoughts in the comments.

From Digital Neofeudalism to Sovereignty: How I Built My Own Knowledge Operating System
Most of us live today in a state of digital neofeudalism. We have become digital sharecroppers: our notes, thoughts, and technical documentation are "leased" from large SaaS corporations. If Notion goes down, your knowledge disappears. If Evernote changes its terms and conditions, your data becomes hostage.
I decided to say "enough." I built a system that is 100% mine, self-documenting code, and works the way I think: nonlinear.
🧠 Knowledge Architecture: A Network Instead of a List
A traditional blog is a list. My knowledge base is a graph. I use Markdown and the Zettelkasten approach to create a network of connections. Thanks to Hugo (@gohugoio), each note knows who links to it.
How does it work?
One article contains reasons, which are the titles of separate publications. These, in turn, have backlinks like "this motivated me to...".
graph TD
A[homelab.md] -->|why?| B[digital-neofeudalism.md]
A -->|business model| C[digital-sharecroppers.md]
B -->|solution| A
C -->|motivation| AI use transclusion (include) to inject fragments of technical documentation where they're needed. No more "copy-paste."
🏗️ Hardware: Division of roles in the ecosystem
My homelab isn't one big server. It's specialized units:
| Machine | Role | Characteristics |
| --- | --- | --- |
| R3930 | Workhorse | heavy containers, databases. |
| Wyse 5070 | Guardian | DNS (Pi-hole), Proxy, SSO (Authelia). |
| DELL GB10 | AI Accelerator Cluster | LLM. |
| Laptop | Command Center | This is where the code is written, and this is where Ansible runs. |Why is the Gateway (Proxy/SSO) on a small Wyse? Because it's quiet, energy-efficient, and supposed to run 24/7, even when the "workhorse" is resting.
🛠️ Infrastructure as Code (Ansible)
I don't configure servers manually. Everything is defined by SSoT (Single Source of Truth) in YAML. One file describes the entire lab:
services:
- id: "technical-docs"
name: "Wiki"
fqdn: "docs.lab.arpa"
target_host: "R3930"
is_private: false
category: "Knowledge"Ansible takes this list and:
- Deploys the container on the appropriate host.
- Configures
nginx-proxyon the Wyse to route traffic to R3930. - Injects authorization rules into Authelia.
- Updates the Homepage dashboard.
🔒 Security: SSO and Custom CA
Let's Encrypt has no place on the
.arpanetwork. I built my own Certificate Authority (Own CA) based on Smallstep.- Authelia (SSO): One login and password (plus 2FA) to access all private services.
- Smallstep SSL: Every service in the
*.lab.arpadomain has a "green padlock." Ansible ensures that my laptop and all servers trust my Root CA.
Development Challenge: Automating SSL via the ACME protocol on my own network is pure magic. Nginx automatically requests a certificate from the local CA server. Without accessing the internet.
📊 Result: Dashboard
The end result is the Homepage – a dashboard that generates automatically. I can see every service, its status, and information about which physical hardware it currently resides on.
🚩 What's next?
My knowledge operating system is growing, but it has one weak point. If the Wyse DNS server goes down, I'm out. So in the next post, we'll cover DNS2 redundancy and data synchronization using Gravity Sync.
Homelab isn't a goal, it's a process. And you? Are you still working your tail off in the cloud?

Cal.com is restricting its license, but the community is already responding. Cal.diy is a new fork that preserves the original MIT-licensed codebase.
It’s a great reminder that open source provides a permanent "exit strategy" from proprietary shifts. If you value a truly open scheduling tool, Cal.diy is the one to watch. ✨

Who actually controls your organisation's technology?
If you rely on US-based platforms, your data may sit under US law regardless of where the servers are. If a provider changes its terms, do you have a backup plan? Do you know what your tools are collecting?
#TechFreedom is a three-session programme for social purpose organisations ready to take a clear look at their tech.
The pilot cohort kicks off 22 April 2026, Wednesdays 13:00–15:00 BST.
£300 + VAT per person. Small cohort, real conversations.

Frustrated by website builders that charge $16+/mo and still limit which plugins you can use? Proprietary platforms often lock your content into their ecosystems, making migration a nightmare. 🕸️
WordPress on PikaPods gives you the full power of open-source CMS starting at just $1.80/mo. No artificial feature gates—just your site, your data, and 60,000+ ways to customize it. 🔓

Microsoft is using dark patterns—unskippable prompts and fake "critical" alerts—to pressure OneDrive users into paid plans. When your file storage starts using psychological tricks to get your credit card, it's time to move.
Open-source tools like Nextcloud or FileBrowser don't nag. You own the data, the interface, and the storage limits. ☁️

A recent comment on one of my videos reminded me that some people think switching from Windows to Mac is somehow escaping their masters.
You are leaving one cage for another.
The Mac experience is great until you want to do something Apple has not pre-approved. True freedom is not just about a stable UI. It is about hardware repairability and software sovereignty, two things Apple has always fought against.
As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Don't trade your sovereignty for convenience.

Razer in a nutshell: Expensive, flashy, and anti-repair. 🗑️
Swapping this Razer Huntsman Elite out for the Keychron Q1 V2 was one of my best gear moves. One represents Big Tech’s planned obsolescence. The other represents a tool built to last a lifetime. Choose the tool, not the brand.

Der Digitale Exitus: Warum Europa jetzt die Ketten sprengen muss
Ein Manifest für die Souveränität
Wir stehen am Abgrund einer technologischen Leibeigenschaft. Während wir uns einbilden, in einer freien Demokratie zu leben, haben wir die Schlüssel zu unserem Haus, unseren Gedanken und unserer Wirtschaft längst an eine Handvoll Milliardäre im Silicon Valley übergeben. Wir sind keine Nutzer mehr. Wir sind Datensätze. Wir sind digitale Leibeigene in einem feudalen System, das keine Grenzen kennt und keine Moral. Es ist Zeit, die rosarote Brille abzusetzen. Es ist Zeit, das Betriebssystem unserer Gesellschaft neu zu installieren. [Mehr lesen...]

Networking should be open. 🌐
We’re building AsterNOS-VPP to prove that you don’t need proprietary "black box" hardware to get line-rate routing performance. By combining #EnterpriseSONiC with #VPP (Vector Packet Processing), we're moving packet handling out of the slow kernel and into the fast lane.🚀 High throughput

OpenAI is sunsetting Sora just months after launching. This highlights the inherent fragility of proprietary "AI-as-a-Service." When the API disappears, so does your workflow.
Open source alternatives provide the only real path to digital sovereignty. With self-hosted tools, you decide when a service ends, not a billion-dollar corporation. 🛠️

The new Qwen3.5 models are matching Anthropic's Sonnet 4.5 performance. Open source is rapidly eroding the moat around proprietary AI.
For anyone prioritizing privacy and independence, this is a major win. You can now get top-tier AI capabilities without the vendor lock-in or subscription costs of closed SaaS like OpenAI.

The last two Apple products we use in our house are two HomePods, and an AppleTV.
I'm replacing the HomePods with two audioengine HD5 speakers. Not huge speakers, but we have humble needs.
I really look forward to just syncing audio via Bluetooth, with no "smart" features, and...
NO MICROPHONES!
