Gabe Rocks!

Welcome,

My name is Gabriel. I’m a Canadian who is passionate about the free and open web.

I want to hone my technical skills while also helping others reclaim territory in cyberspace. Part of this has been creating my multi-media passion project the Libre Solutions Network. I try to warn about the dangers to top-down technocratic control and explain the benefits of reclaiming their own digital autonomy. I believe that safeguarding our online experience requires a lot more education and engagement than currently exists.

I’m a huge fan of:

• PeerTube
• RSS
• Static sites

You’ll probably enjoy my discussion with the developer of Serenum OS.

I’m also very fat, and by that I mean extremely obese. I’m making significant progress addressing this. In addition to trying to fix my situation, I’m also choosing to try to share my thoughts from the journey. My hope is that those in similar situations can find comfort or help from it, and that those who don’t have this experience can humanize it a bit more. I collect motivational memes to include in my posts.
