First batch of tapes shipping today. There is a hidden secret that is not in the digital version. Tapes are always free via postcard, but if you want you can always join the Cassette Club and I will send them to you in this first batch. image
CALL FOR QUESTIONS! I will be speaking at dark prague in a month about modern analog security tools (from cassettes to PUFs). I will be bringing issue 2.9 with me, if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover, reply to this note! Side A will be my talk but Side B I'd like to fill it with community questions or topics. I think you'll know what I do now but questions on electronics, hardware hacking, or non technical ones are fair game. Also, I made a new submission site so if you ever want to submit some audio to the zine you can now go to submit.bitpunk.fm.
JCards and tapes are done! I will be in NYC this weekend to see the U.S. premier of the Bloody Sonnets. The only showing in the US. I anticipate I will be coming back empty handed so if you want one let me know to save one for you. I will take them and I need to make room for some record stores in NYC. image

The Dream Hotel was the best book I've read published in 2025. I've been recommending it to everybody. If you want a non-spoiler review of it go to bitpunk.fm and press ▶️ on the tape deck emulator. It's the first 10 minutes where I compare it with The Every.
What was it like to make a podcast without using a computer? I go into it some more in this article.
