I believe sovereignty begins the moment someone realizes: you don’t have to accept the default.

I’m working toward building systems that make consent visible, privacy practical, and autonomy the default — not the opt-out.
I didn’t download a car.
But I did build an open-source split keyboard (@beekeeb_shop Piantor) + trackball (@ploopyco).
Soldered, flashed, and fully functional.

What other open-source hardware should I add to my setup?

You wouldn’t download a car.
Me in 2003: Bet.
Me in 2025: Just sourced an open-source keyboard ⌨️ from the internet, gonna build it myself.
Piantor split arrived.
Big thanks to splitkb + keycapsss for making DIY feel like #cyberpunk magic.

Grew up scraping gunk off ball mice.
Then came lasers. DPI wars. Corporate drivers.
Now? The ball is back — on top, where it belongs.

Just installed a ploopy.co/adept-trackb.... No spyware. No bloat. Fully open.

🖲️ Your mouse is a prisoner.
Mine defected.

My Why? Because cypherpunks write code.

From mining BTC in 2011 to building privacy-first tools—this talk is my story of values, rebellion, and code.
