Gabriel speaks with Evgeny, the founder of Simplex Chat. Simplex is a recent and still-developing private messaging app with a slant toward privacy over convenience. Evgeny gives his critical thoughts on other private messengers, explains how privacy software can fund itself, exposes the myth of disappearing messages, and gets into some of the finer details of how Simplex Chat has made different choices from its competitors. In particular Simplex gets rid of accounts altogether, allowing you to create as many “profiles” as you want that are localized to your device. The result is, as Evgeny says, Simplex knows nothing about its users.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with Urban Hacker about the infamous XZ backdoor incident by which a key piece of software in the Linux kernel was nearly hijacked. The attacker spent four years slowly ingratiating himself into the small community, which had been selected precisely because it consisted of a single burned-out developer. Follow us as we unravel this bizarre and disturbing story of premeditated digital attack and what it means for free and open-source software and our own cybersecurity.

They unpack the crazy politics in the Bitcoin community: from the fuzzy “red lines” of Bitcoin companies, to the gradual diminishment of Bitcoin’s cypherpunk origins, to FOSS gaslighting and the recent Ocean Mining censorship. Oh, and Bitcoin is not for Progressives.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks with contrarian cultural thinker Jayant Bhandari. Bhandari views politics as subsidiary to culture, and thus culture as the first principle from which to begin one’s analysis. He explains the rarely-acknowledged unchanging depravities of the Third World which are leading it toward collapse: all stemming from a lack of reason and thus moral consciousness. Bhandari also gives his thoughts on a variety of other matters, such as the 2016 Indian banknote demonetisation, the prevalence of Indian scammers, and how to cultivate fearlessness as a speaker.

Gabriel Custodiet talks to Aaron Zar, founder of SLNT signal-blocking pouches. They discuss the origin and definition of Faraday bags, their uses for privacy seekers, and some of the ins-and-outs of the industry. A (good) Faraday bag is a covering that blocks most signals—GPS, cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFID, EMP, EMF—and thus allows its user to have situational privacy.

This is a definitive introduction to one of the biggest but least examined privacy dangers that we face today.

Gabriel Custodiet speaks to NVK, co-inventor of the Coldcard Bitcoin wallet. They discuss his particularly secure wallet and Bitcoin privacy more broadly. A hardware wallet is a dedicated mini-computer whose entire purpose (both hardware and software) is limited only to crypto transacting. It is thus a more secure way to store crypto, isolated from “hot” internet-connected devices that have much more code, many more features, and consequently many more vulnerabilities.
