The blog post I'll probably be writing for the next few months is going to be an attempt to fuse this hacker ethic with the cyber-*punk* subculture that existed for a brief period in the 90s and attempt to revitalize it, because I think that kind of technologically-enabled, technologically-savvy antiautoritarian, antitradition, anticapitalist, pro-DIY, pro-self-expression radical sociopolitical ethos/critique fueled by an empowering and *cool* aesthetic is more relevant now than it has ever been. We need a punk movement "for the 22nd century." And I see the seeds of its resurgence in stuff like what @revengeday is doing, even if it hasn't actually hit praxis and the "streets" yet. Here are a few links about the cyberpunk/hacker punk ethos I'll be drawing from:
