CD201: MATT HILL - START9 - FREEDOM COMPUTING

May 5, 2026·1h 36m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Matt Hill joins us to discuss Start9, StartOS 0.4.0, and building a fully MIT FOSS stack for freedom computing. We chat bitcoin as the first killer app for self hosting, why AI agents are accelerating the need, and the privacy trap of “local” AI tools that still send your files to cloud servers. We go deep on StartOS 0.4.0: easier app packaging, more reliable self hosting, Tor, VPN, Start Tunnel, clearnet tradeoffs, and replacing big tech with open source services at home. We wrap with Server One hardware, their upcoming RISC-V router, FCC Wi-Fi weirdness, and a tease of self hosted open source home security cameras.Start9: https://start9.com  StartOS 0.4 Update Guide: https://docs.start9.com  Start9 Router Presale: https://router.start9.comStart9 on X: https://x.com/start9labsEPISODE: 201  BLOCK: 948049  PRICE: 1225 sats per dollarmore info on the show: https://citadeldispatch.com  learn more about me: https://odell.xyz  monitor the situation: https://citadelwire.comten31: https://ten31.xyzopensats: https://opensats.org
