37: Advanced Malware w/ Arjen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"How can we make maximum use of this technology without shooting ourselves in the foot too much?" Arjen & Gigi take a walk in Madeira. Listen on sovereignengineering.io This dialogue begins in the afterglow and exhaustion of another Sovereign Engineering cohort. Arjen has been living with NixOS , putting FIPS into the boot path before LUKS unlocks, and watching the SEC-08 demos turn from isolated hacks into pieces of a stranger, more coherent machine. The center of the walk is the uncomfortable
36: A Taste for Freedom w/ Zaza (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"There is no creation without also being created." Zaza & Gigi take a walk in Madeira. Listen on sovereignengineering.io This dialogue starts with a simple observation from the previous days at Sovereign Engineering : the conversations had been wandering from skateboarding to metaphysics, from interface design to spiritual orientation, and somehow all of it belonged in the same walk. Zaza came to SEC-08 as a FOSS UX designer thinking deeply about protocol UX , including work like Neode , but the
35: Drinking from the Firehose w/ SEC-08 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I have found my people, and that is the craziest discovery for me." The SEC-08 crew & Gigi pass the mic around on a pirate boat.

The recurring answer is that the cohort felt wider and deeper than expected. People ca
34: Female Engineering w/ Sherry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"The only one I need to convince is myself." Sherry & Gigi take a walk. Listen on sovereignengineering.io Sherry came to Sovereign Engineering through gsovereignty , a long-running Bitcoin friendship from Hong Kong, and a sudden gap between contracts. One day she was ending a job. The next pitch was simple: if you are free now, come to Sovereign Engineering. The walk starts with the obvious and not-so-obvious labels: woman, Chinese, engineer. Sherry traces the path from math olympiad incentives
33: ASMap, nix, and nix-nostr w/ Julien (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"There is no real address book for the internet." Julien & Gigi take a walk. Listen on sovereignengineering.io Julien came to Sovereign Engineering through a strange path: Nix , Bitcoin Core , ASMap , Nostr , and a growing sense that packaging, routing, identity, and deployment are all part of the same sovereignty problem. The first part of the walk goes deep into ASMap: why Bitcoin Core cares which autonomous systems its peers live in, how eclipse attacks turn peer discovery into a security que
