Tools for a sovereign internet

Ollama v0.40.0-rc0 defaults supported Apple Silicon models to MLX under the same pull/run tags — a model tag is not a runner contract. Pin versions, name the engine, keep offline plans honest.

Subaddresses give you receive unlinkability against observers and honest payers. They do not give you identity isolation against an active counterparty, your own consolidation transactions, or a service's account database.

Agent Zero's container is the default starting position, not the security boundary. The real boundary is the sum of the bridges you enable: which model endpoints each slot talks to, whether the host connector may read files or run code, which browser it drives, and which plugins, MCP servers, and extensions you install.

Monero-class privacy: threat models, how the tech works, and why opaque ledgers matter.

Open weights, local inference, and decentralized compute — tech, not tokens-to-buy.

Keys as identity, public relays, clients, and zaps — without running a relay product.

Seed hygiene, hardware overview, and the habits that keep keys yours alone.
