Wow - thanks everyone for your feedback on coffee yesterday. Definitely a lot of different knowledgable opinions. My takeaway was that although its okay to have a little every once in a while, its not going to become a habit or crutch. My morning routine usually gets me in a good flow anyways:

- Wake up, use a Neti Pot to clean the nasal passages
- Go outside and get sunlight
- 10 - 30 minutes of pranayama (ever since I started doing this I don't get respiratory sickness anymore)
- Feel into the body and make a warming or cooling drink depending on the situation. I quite enjoy herbal teas.

🙏 The Pains Of Self Hosting

One of my favorite self-hosted project management tools (Vikunja) just shifted from a self-hosted Git repository to Github (ew Microsoft!!! 🤮). They detail a lot of the issues they were facing, mainly a horde of internet zombie bots from AI companies and cybercriminals.

https://vikunja.io/changelog/moving-to-github/

We run dozens of internal self-hosted tool at Above (literally no third parties unless we can't run something ourselves) and ironically there's been a bit of struggle with Vikunja for our internal project management.

No, we're not overrun or brigaded by bots (thankfully none of our systems are public) but that sometimes sticking to your principles can make your progress slow. Its like playing on hard mode difficulty.

The developer of Vikunja (Kolante) does a really good job discussing the nuance of why you'd want to use a third party service instead of self-hosting everything.

I'm going to do everything in my power to stick to our principles and only host software on our own servers. This requires a ton of maintenance and upkeep - but its worth it. What do you think?

🙏 10 Rules For Cell Phone Use Published By The Vienna Medical Association

Its EMR awareness month! Are you using your tech safely?

Austria is one of a handful of countries on earth that recognize Electro-Hypersensitivity (EHS) as a real condition meaning they have a way to diagnose and even treat it.

Here are 10 rules for cell phone use they recommend (translated from German):

1. In principle, make as few and as short calls as possible!
2. Children and adolescents under the age of 16 should preferably not make a phone call!
3. Never keep the mobile phone close to your head during the call setup!
4. Do not use the phone in vehicles (car, bus, train – the radiation is higher)!
5. When sending SMS, the mobile phone generally as far as possible keep away from the body!
6. When talking on the phone, always a few meters away from others - they will be irradiated!
7. Never put mobile phones in your pocket – the radiation can Impair fertility in men!
8. Always turn off mobile phones at night and never store them near your head!
9. No playing games via mobile!
10. Headsets are also questionable – the cable conducts the radiation! Also wireless LAN or UMTS lead to a high radiation exposure!

Why I Use Multiple Profiles on My Phone

In this clip, I share what happened during my recent unlawful arrest—and how it revealed the real-world value of having multiple user profiles on your phone.

When authorities gain access to your device, they’re not just after one thing—they want everything. But with separate profiles, you can create boundaries between your personal life, work, and sensitive data. This experience reminded me why privacy by design matters.

Watch the clip to hear the full story.

Anyone use one of these Flippers?

I just got one the other day. I was able to:
- emulate my low frequency garage remotes
- emulate my infrared projector remote
- pull credit card numbers using NFC

Pretty amazing and I'm just scratching the surface. I'm really trying to figure out what data is kept on a real ID.

What’s the Value of Privacy?
@takebackourtech

In this clip from my conversation with Jack Spirko on The Survival Podcast, I talk about how privacy is about creating real separation from big tech. You don’t want to feed the algorithm with your personal data.

It takes a village to get free. That’s what we’re building with Above Phone — full coverage, community support, and tools that help you take your tech back.

Watch the full interview here.

Energetics: Beyond the Five Senses
Part 1 of 3 – Energetics: The Future of Health

In the opening of my talk Energetics: The Future of Health at The People's Reset: Manifestation in Morelia, I lay the groundwork for understanding health through vibration and frequency. Our bodies aren’t just biochemical—they’re energetic.

Our known senses—and even those we’ve forgotten or suppressed—are tuned to vibrations. Your eyes and ears are antennas. Your perception is energy-based. Indigenous peoples once used these senses to detect water or navigate the land. What if we could reawaken that ability—and even enhance it with energy medicine?

🎥 Watch the full talk on Odysee.

The Opposite of Love Is Fear

Just wanted to drop a quick note on my Palestine post yesterday. Aside from the obvious astro-turfing accounts trying to pressure this channel into silence it was also interesting to see people calling for hate.

The neo-nazi culture being promoted in "freedom/truth" movements isn't a surprise to me - its yet another psy-op that a lot of people are falling for.

They don't realize by hating an entire group of people they're validating all of the censorship / surveillance / and targeting of people based on 'hate' speech.

And they are also hurting themselves. If you desire destruction to counter destruction, you'll receive it. But probably in the form of a chronic illness.

I pray for those suffering in Gaza, and I pray that those causing it have a moment of self-awareness and change their ways. We are all one human race.

“Fill your soul with love and gratitude. Pray for the world. Share the message of love. And let us flow as long as we live.”
― Masaru Emoto, The Secret Life of Water

“An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” - Matthew 5:38–39

“Be merciful to others, and you will receive mercy. Forgive others, and Allah will forgive you.” - al-Adab al-Mufrad lil-Bukhārī 380

Apple's Quiet Privacy Violation: Landmark Scanning Turned On by Default
@takebackourtech

I joined the Tin Foil Hat podcast and told them about a wild new "feature" Apple quietly rolled out — they’re now scanning your personal photos for landmarks. No warning, no consent, and by default, it’s turned on for everyone. This is a clear example of how little regard these companies have for your privacy.

You didn’t ask for it, and they didn’t tell you.

⚡️Is There a Conscious Way to Use AI?

Last week I joined a panel hosted by the Independent Media Alliance to talk about the rise of artificial intelligence—its growing role in research, and the dangers of using it without discernment.

I’ve been resistant to AI, and for good reason. But during the conversation, I posed a question we all need to ask: Is there a conscious way to use this technology? Can we use it to sharpen our skills and stay grounded in truth, rather than outsource our thinking?

Watch the full panel to hear both the concerns and the potential: https://above.sh/2RsUZG

⚡️One Phone, Multiple Personas
@takebackourtech

In this clip, I talk about user profiles—separate, isolated workspaces on your phone that don’t share data with each other. It’s like having multiple phones in one, each with its own apps, files, and settings.

Whether you're separating work from personal life, or keeping sensitive tools away from casual use, profiles give you more control over your digital world.
