ajuvo Stephan
my bio
I am an old (60+) hacker, having begun with taming mainframes for fun and money, working my way through the advent of the internet. I helped resistance in communist Poland, navigated the uncertain financial waters of German reunification and its fallout, helped address the Y2K-bug, seen the New Economy bubble burst, and so on. I am an economist and a philosopher in the field of cultural history of technology, currently CEO for a small entity that acquires and runs real estate for hacker purposes, from data centers to living communities of elderly hackers. I am member of c-base and have long been active in the CCC, and I’m a member of the German Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte GFF, doing things that are partially similar to what for example the EFF is doing in the US.
My nom de guerre ajuvo is easy to retrieve in hacker-related communications channels.
Session
Looking at all our efforts from my own field of expertise, it strikes me that we eventually be in need of sustainable, resilient, maybe covert and clandestine legal and financial structures to keep the infrastructure we will be running under dire circumstance alive.
So, may I invite you to a short tour around this part of reality we often don’t look at with too much attention.
