I left IT for a trade. For several reasons, (AI was one of them but not the most pressing one). 1) I like AI. I have 12 apps in the app store right now. They are being used, (231 installs last week). But I can see the writing on the wall. IT jobs are not going away completely...

Saving LA - Phase III

🇸🇻 EL SALVADOR BECOMES ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST ATTRACTIVE BITCOIN TAX HAVENS President Nayib Bukele’s latest residency reform slashes the physical presence requirement for temporary residents from 9 months to just 90 days per year. Combined with El Salvador’s territorial tax system, the benefits are significant: • 0% tax on foreign-source income • 0% capital gains tax on Bitcoin • No wealth tax • No inheritance tax • No gift tax A 2024 tax reform explicitly exempted foreign-source income for both residents and non-residents, making the country increasingly attractive to entrepreneurs, investors, remote workers, and digital nomads earning abroad. The incentives extend to businesses as well. Companies operating under qualifying technology export, international services, and free zone regimes can receive up to 15 years of tax exemptions, including relief from corporate income tax, VAT, withholding taxes, import duties, and capital gains taxes. The move further strengthens El Salvador’s position as a global hub for Bitcoiners, entrepreneurs, and internationally mobile capital.

Clean air. Clean money. I’m ready to breathe Bitcoin. Just reserved ✅

Thanks to @OutdoorLife for running my column on the power of the constitutional right to hunt and fish. 24 states now have the right to hunt and fish in their constitutions. These aren’t just words on paper—they’re proven weapons in court and at the ballot box. But the antis aren’t done. They’re targeting states that still refuse to protect our heritage with radical initiatives that would criminalize hunting, fishing, and trapping. Theodore Roosevelt didn’t watch from the stands. He stepped into the arena. It’s our turn. Hunters and anglers: step into the arena with us. No more playing defense. We’re on offense—passing amendments, building precedent, and refusing to surrender the traditions that feed our families, fund conservation, and define who we are. Whether you sign a petition, talk to your neighbors, testify at the capitol, or just share why this matters, every one of you counts.

Cheap compute is good. Sovereign compute is what you build after enough time around real machines to know the internet is not magic. It is power. Steel. Heat. Noise. Airflow. Fiber. Switchgear. Racks. Routers. Breakers. Fans. PDUs. Generators. Fuel. Hands. Risk. Maintenance. That is compute. Everything else is branding perfume sprayed over a warehouse full of machines. The cloud is real. It is just somebody else’s building, power contract, network, compliance department, billing trap, terms of service, and kill switch. You get a dashboard. They get control. That is the trade. People accepted it because it was convenient. Then the bills got uglier. The rules got tighter. The surveillance got normalized. The vendor lock-in became obvious. And people realized their “infrastructure strategy” was renting a cage from a cartel with better fonts. Sovereign compute is the refusal of that model. The machine has a location. The hardware has an owner. The power has a source. The network has an operator. The stack can be inspected. The customer can leave. The rails are not built to trap you. Real infrastructure is not theory. It is what keeps running when the heat climbs, the fan dies, the breaker trips, the carrier flakes, the fuel pressure swings, the firmware acts stupid, the node drops, and the machine room exposes every soft assumption you had. @SHCompute was built from the same operator mindset Bitcoin mining beats into your skull. If you do not control your power, machines, network, and stack, you do not control anything. You are renting permission with extra steps. And permission always gets expensive when it matters. That is why sovereign compute matters. Not because it sounds cool. Because survival depends on who controls the rails. If your VPS can be shut off because a centralized platform got nervous, it was never yours. If your VPN lives inside the same surveillance stack it claims to protect you from, it is a Halloween costume. If your AI workload can be throttled, flagged, surveilled, scraped, priced into death, or rug-pulled by policy, your “innovation” is sitting on a leash. If your business cannot leave with its data, systems, and dignity intact, you are not a customer. You are livestock with a login. Sovereign compute means the operator matters again. It means infrastructure is physical, strategic, and worth defending. Sovereign Hybrid Compute is built around owned hardware, real racks, real power, real networks, open-source rails, Bitcoin-native settlement, and infrastructure that does not pretend dependence is freedom. VPS. VPN. Cloud. Storage. VoIP. AI workloads. Colocation. Managed infrastructure. Energy-backed compute. Builder-owned rails. No fake cloud cosplay. No hyperscaler leash hiding in the backend. No vendor-lock prison with a nicer login screen. No pretending a support ticket is a battle plan. Just machines, power, network, and operators. Cheap compute saves margin. But sovereign compute saves the mission. The mission is owning the rails your business stands on. Building systems that do not fold when the soft-handed world gets scared. Making compute hard again. Hard to censor. Hard to trap. Hard to surveil. Hard to kill. Hard to price-gouge. Hard to quietly enslave behind a shiny dashboard. Because the cloud is just someone else’s machine. Sovereign compute is when you stop kneeling to it. Own the rails. Run the machines. Cut the leash. Sovereignhybridcompute.com
