About this listen

Anonymous Airwaves is a bold, weekly podcast that navigates the edges of the digital frontier, a broadcast from the margins of mainstream tech discourse, where privacy meets protest and decentralisation meets design.Michael J Burgess

  • Unleash Your Digital Fortress: Self-Hosting Your Own Cloud with Raspberry Pi
    Dec 22 2025

    These sources collectively explore the practice of self-hosting various applications and services on Raspberry Pi devices. They highlight the benefits of self-hosting, such as enhanced privacy and control over personal data, and address the cost-effectiveness and low power consumption of Raspberry Pis as servers. The texts also detail practical aspects of setting up a self-hosted environment, including installing operating systems, configuring network settings, and utilizing tools like Docker and Portainer for application deployment and management. Furthermore, the sources provide examples of specific applications that can be self-hosted, ranging from media servers and password managers to personal cloud solutions and website hosting, while also discussing challenges and considerations like security, network stability, and hardware limitations.

  • Fortifying Blockchain Security with Advanced Authentication and Kill Switches
    Dec 15 2025

    Episode 30 – “Fortifying Blockchain Security with Advanced Authentication & Kill Switches”

    From phishing campaigns to SIM-swapping heists, cyber-criminals are evolving faster than ever—so your security stack has to evolve faster still. In this episode we break down the next generation of defenses keeping crypto and Web3 safe:

    • Why 2-Factor Authentication still matters (and where SMS 2FA falls short)

    • App-based codes, hardware keys, biometrics & beyond—how each factor fits into a layered security model

    • “Kill-switch” architectures that can instantly lock down wallets and smart-contracts when things go sideways

    • Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and smart-contract guardians: bringing tamper-proof protection to decentralized systems

    • Real-world war stories of SIM-swaps, phishing kits, and the counter-measures that stopped them

    Whether you’re a developer, a DAO treasurer, or just hodling for the long haul, you’ll leave with practical steps to harden your setup against today’s—and tomorrow’s—threats.

  • Exploring Lens Protocol and the Decentralized Social Web
    Dec 8 2025

    Episode 30 – “Exploring Lens Protocol & the Decentralized Social Web”

    Ready to look beyond Twitter, Instagram, and the rest of Web 2.0? In this episode we dive head-first into Lens Protocol, the Polygon-powered social graph that flips the script on how we own, share, and monetize our online presence. You’ll learn:

    • Why digital ownership matters – how Lens turns profiles and posts into on-chain assets that you actually control.

    • Creator-friendly tooling – tipping, collect-to-own NFTs, and other native monetization features that cut out middlemen.

    • The growing dApp ecosystem – from Twitter-style feeds to video hubs and newsletter platforms, all plugging into the same open graph.

    • Hurdles to mass adoption – UX friction, wallet onboarding, and the technical heavy lifting still ahead.

    • What’s next – why a decentralized social web could make data silos obsolete and empower both users and builders.

    Whether you’re a crypto-native, a curious creator, or just tired of renting your audience from centralized platforms, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap of where decentralized social is headed—and how Lens might lead the way.
