On this episode of The Vonu Podcast, you’ll hear a Liberty Under Attack Radio classic from August 2017. I’m joined by Jamin Biconik, a “hardware hacker,” permaculture farmer, and agorist.
Jamin is the developer of the Ghostpad privacy-oriented machines, Neuron, his custom Linux-based operating system, and a number of other projects. Herein, he tells us all about the invasions of privacy and security by States and their corporate cohorts, how he makes and designs his custom machines, why you need to get one, and much more.
