We've seen a massive attack on the freedom of the web. Governments are realizing the power of this medium to organize people and they are trying to clamp down across the world, not just in places like China and North Korea; we're seeing bills in the United States, in Italy, all across the world.
I go on expeditions for the same reason an estate agent sells houses - to pay the bills.

I don't use any real vintage hardware any longer.
