Open Source, GPL, digital sovereignty — the values that shape Frea-X. From an old Norse word: frea — free.
frea-x.com — Built by Geek The Viking. Exploited by the community.
Frea-X is not a blog. Not a news site. Not a product.
It is a lab. A place where open source, hacker culture, digital rights and honest curiosity collide — and where things get built because they should exist, not because someone will pay for them.
Geek The Viking sailed The Lost Packet through CyberSpace, saw what was out there, and came home with stories that couldn't be ignored. Stories about AI built to serve profit instead of people. About EU citizens communicating through infrastructure owned by interests they've never heard of. About an open internet quietly being closed.
Frea-X is the answer to those stories.
"This is not the News. This is the 42 Minutes News from CyberSpace."
The centrepiece of Frea-X. A curated, real-time global news aggregator pulling from 60+ RSS/Atom feeds across 13 categories — updated automatically every hour at :42.

Why :42? Because 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything. Obviously.
✅ Open Source and GPL — the code belongs to the community
✅ White Hat welcome — understand systems to defend them
✅ Digital freedom — Tor, encryption and privacy are common sense
✅ Data stays in the EU — always
✅ If money is made, it flows back into the ecosystem
❌ We don't build things so others can tear them down
❌ Black hat and abuse of other people's systems? Wrong place.

If you're from a hackspace, a LUG, or you just believe the internet should be free and open — you're already one of us. Contributions, issues and ideas are welcome.
Read the Seal of Frea-X before you open a PR. It's short. It matters.
