s5e13 L0WL1F3 "Cypherpunks & Cybertribes"

This episode explores the rise of cybertribes—decentralized,
tech-savvy communities formed around encryption, identity, and
cultural resistance. Tracing the movement from 1960s hacker roots
to modern mesh networks and DIY servers, we unpack how privacy,
self-hosting, and symbolic identity have become tools of
real-world cyberpunk resistance. From crypto wars to solarpunk
enclaves, this is a blueprint for reclaiming autonomy in a
surveilled world.
