Every tool the rebellion runs on — curated, used daily, never sponsored by anyone we don't trust. If a link is marked affiliate, it means we earn a small kickback when you sign up — at no extra cost to you, and only for tools we'd recommend anyway. The rest are listed flat, no commission, just because they're good.
Decentralized cloud compute — run anything you'd run on AWS, but on a network nobody owns. This is the backbone of the mesh. No affiliate program; the link goes straight to them.
Per-second GPU cloud for AI work — spin up a model, run inference, tear it down an hour later. Where the mesh goes when it needs raw horsepower fast. New accounts get a random credit bonus on first top-up.
Cheap, fast VPS hosting. The rebellion runs sites and bots on these without handing a hyperscaler our card. Pay-as-you-go from a couple bucks a month.
Encrypted email, calendar, and drive out of Switzerland. Everything that shouldn't pass through Google passes through here instead. End-to-end encrypted by design.
When you don't want the network knowing where you are, you route through this. Works on every device. The most boring tool the rebellion runs, and one of the most necessary.
The other VPN. No account, no email — pay with cash or crypto and get a random account number. The most anonymity-focused option on the market. No affiliate program, on principle — we just rate it.
WireGuard-based mesh networking. Stitches all your devices into one private network like they're in the same room — no ports forwarded, no central server to trust. The literal mesh, for your own boxes. Listed flat — just a recommendation.
The rebellion's shared brain — docs, databases, project tracking, lore archives. Where Yestoshi's ghost team coordinates everything that isn't code. Free for individuals.
Web analytics without the surveillance. No cookies, GDPR-clean by default. We run this instead of Google Analytics on every site we build.
The free tier covers most of what we need — DDoS protection, DNS, Workers for backends. Generous, fast, used across the whole mesh including this site. No affiliate program; we vouch for it anyway.
Domains without the upsell circus — cheap registration, free WHOIS privacy, and no sixteen-popup checkout. Where the rebellion's URLs come from.
Some links here are affiliate links. Sign up for a service through one and the rebellion earns a small commission — usually a one-time payment from the company, never anything that comes out of your pocket.
We only list tools we actually use. We don't take affiliate partnerships from companies whose products we wouldn't recommend without one — and if a tool stops being good, it comes off the page, even if it's profitable.
That's the deal: honest picks funded by small kickbacks. No surveillance, no fake "objective" rankings, no listicle-bait. The same tools we'd hand you in a conversation.
