Trying to convince my HOA that this is acceptable behavior.

The guy who builds his own GPS trackers to avoid subscriptions just paid a monthly membership to hit a plastic ball in a warehouse. i see no contradiction.

The most disruptive technologies don't create new dependencies. They destroy existing ones. 3D printing. Mesh networks. Solar. Crypto. Zero subscriptions. Zero permission. Zero middlemen.

What do 3D printing, mesh networks, solar, and crypto have in common? They all make one type of person very nervous: the one who charges you monthly for something you could own.

The biggest companies of the 20th century were middlemen. The biggest technologies of the 21st century eliminate them. 3D printing. Mesh networks. Solar. Crypto. See the pattern?

How does any car company compete without full self-driving? The same way Kodak competed without digital cameras. Denial. Then discounts. Then bankruptcy.

2 million people watched my first Reticulum video and asked: "but how far can it actually go?" So this time I attempt to send a message from Florida to Venezuela. Here's what happened. 👇

Subscription culture is a tax on people who don't realize they can own the infrastructure.

Rivian is beautiful. Great engineering. Love the brand. But it doesn't drive itself? You want me to spend $80K on an SUV I still have to drive? In 2026?

"You can't just build your own ___" Manufacturing? 3D printer. Network? Mesh radio. Power grid? Solar panels. Bank? Crypto wallet. Watch me.

You know a relationship is getting serious when you add her to your Tailscale network.

Tesla really put a 'Mad Max' mode in the car and expected me not to narrate my drive to Pura Vida like I'm Chris Hemsworth fighting for survival in the wasteland

3D printing. Mesh networks. Solar. Crypto. Nobody needs permission anymore.

"People love driving." People loved horses too. Then they loved not shoveling manure more. People will love not sitting in traffic more than they love a steering wheel.

Every industry that can be decentralized will be decentralized. Manufacturing → 3D printing Telecom → mesh networks Energy → solar Finance → crypto You are not ready for what comes next.
