New video is live: Your Keys, Your Bitcoin 🔑🟠 If someone else holds your keys, you're renting your bitcoin. In this one, I break down what private keys and seed phrases actually do, the common self-custody mistakes, and a simple checklist to start taking control. Watch: What scares you most about self-custody, losing your seed, or making a bad send? #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins #Privacy #DigitalFreedom

The UK has reportedly revoked Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek's electronic travel authorisation (ETA), meaning no more visa-free entry. She says it came days after an X post criticising Keir Starmer. The notice she shared reportedly said her presence is "not conducive to the public good". Whether you agree with her or not, should governments be this opaque with travel bans, especially as the UK rolls out ETAs for more visitors?

Every Bitcoin cycle creates the same seven characters, and this video absolutely roasts them before they roast each other 😅 Watch it here: Which one are you right now, and which one were you in your first cycle? #Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #HODL #SelfCustody #DigitalSovereignty #Privacy #Decentralisation

Did big banks try to kneecap crypto in the US? This episode from Simply Bitcoin digs into the Washington tug-of-war over the new market-structure Bill and the fight over banning stablecoin rewards. Banks say "financial stability". Crypto folks say "anti-competitive". Either way, it's a reminder: if your money lives in someone else's system, they can rewrite the rules overnight.

Nostr: Watching Iran being cut off from the internet while women and ordinary people fight for freedom is horrifying. A blackout is a weapon, it silences evidence and isolates people. If you can: amplify Iranian voices, share verified updates, support digital rights groups, and keep your platforms talking about it. YUNGBLUD said it best in this clip: nobody is free until we are all free. #Iran #WomenLifeFreedom #InternetFreedom #HumanRights #DigitalRights #Censorship #Freedom #Solidarity

AI coding agents are brilliant, until they decide your laptop is a playground. This Docker episode breaks down Docker Sandboxes: an experimental way to run coding agents in a containerised workspace that mirrors your repo, so the agent can run commands, install packages, and edit files without having free rein over your host. They also dig into why a sandbox is more than "just a container" and why microVM isolation is the next step for defence in depth.

Self-hosting n8n? Heads up: there's a CVSS 10.0 vulnerability doing the rounds (CVE-2026-21858, “Ni8mare"). If your instance is 1.65.0 to <1.121.0, update to 1.121.0+ right now. If you can't patch today, lock down anything public (especially webhook and form endpoints) or take it offline until you can. Video: #n8n #cybersecurity #selfhosting #homelab #infosec #privacy

AI data centres are turning into the new "hidden utility Bill". The question in this video is simple: if AI keeps scaling, do we get rolling blackouts, higher prices, or both? A few grounding facts: • US DOE estimates data centres used ~4.4% of US electricity in 2023 and could hit ~6.7%–12% by 2028. • The IEA says data centres were ~1.5% of global electricity in 2024 and demand could rise fast this decade. • Grid reliability bodies are already warning that explosive load growth is outpacing new infrastructure. So what can you actually do? Push for transparent grid planning, not backroom deals. Measure your own digital footprint, then trim it. Local first, efficient first. Build resilience: backups, offline copies, and (if you can) a small UPS or solar battery for essentials. Blackouts are not inevitable, but pretending demand is "someone else's problem" is how we get there. Watch: #AI #Energy #DataCenters #Grid #Blackouts #DigitalSovereignty #SelfHosting #Resilience

Globalisation isn't ending with a bang. It's ending with a rewire. For decades, the deal was simple: make it cheap, ship it everywhere, keep inventory lean, pretend politics is background noise. That world is wobbling. You feel it in prices," out of stock" basics, shifting jobs, and brands quietly moving production. In this post, I break downwhat'ss replacing the old model (friendshoring, harder trade blocs, critical minerals, a fragmented internet). I get practical: what you can actually do without becoming a prepper. Read it here: https://beitmenotyou.online/globalisation-is-dead-this-is-what-happens-next-and-what-you-can-actually-do-about-it/ Question for you: where are you most exposed right now, money, work, data, or the weekly basics? #globalisation #deglobalisation #geopolitics #supplychains #friendshoring #reshoring #tradewars #inflation #digitalsovereignty #privacy #selfhosting #resilience

New one on my radar: "The Chicago Teachers Union and Their Path to Dictatorship" | The New Frontline with Siena Rose I'm sharing this because it hits a broader theme I care about: what happens when any powerful institution (government, platforms, unions, NGOs) starts acting as if it's above scrutiny. If you watch it, try this little checklist: What are the actual claims being made? What evidence is shown, not just asserted? What would the strongest counterargument be? Who benefits from you feeling instantly angry? Drop your take. What did you agree with, what felt like spin, and what would you want verified? #Chicago #CTU #TeachersUnion #Education #Politics #FreeSpeech #CivilLiberties #MediaLiteracy #DigitalFreedom #SelfSovereignty
