Rogue Geeks
Rogue Geeks is the computer science department of Holy Rogue Network — coding, AI, cybersecurity, CS fundamentals, Linux, 3D / CAD, tech education, and the ongoing campaign to #EvictBillGates and #EvictBigTech from every device, account, and life that's tired of paying rent on its own data. One of the movement's core strategic objectives is to make local, self-hosted, open-source AI — Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, vLLM, Open WebUI, the entire run-it-on-your-own-hardware ecosystem — the popular default path instead of the rented OpenAI / Google / Anthropic API stack. When a teen running a 7B Llama on her gaming GPU is more impressed than a teen paying $20/mo for ChatGPT, #EvictBillGates goes viral. NetworkChuck is the dream Dean. Rob Braxman Tech and the broader cyber-privacy / Linux / sovereignty creator world fill the faculty roster. Together they lead a generation of builders away from rented tools and toward sovereign ones. The deeper play is named in the founder's vision: Digital Striplings. The reference is 1 Samuel 17:56 — the verse where King Saul, watching the boy walking off toward Goliath, asked his commander Abner: "Inquire thou whose son the stripling is." This is the first time the word "stripling" appears in scripture — David, the shepherd boy, the warrior-in-the-making, sling in hand. Many Latter-day Saints and broader Christians associate "stripling" with the 2,000 Stripling Warriors of Helaman 56 in the Book of Mormon — but those warriors came hundreds of years after David. David is the original Stripling. Davee.ai — the in-house AI character, host, and resident assistant across every app in the Holy Rogue Network — is named after this David, the first Stripling, who took down Goliath with a smooth stone he pulled from the brook. Isaiah 11:1 carries the lineage forward: "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots." The Iron Rod that Operation Iron Rod is named for — the word of God — comes out of the same lineage that produced David. And the smooth stone from the brook turns out to slay more than one kind of giant. The CRockyGo painted rocks that travel the country with Rogue Adventurers slay the giant of loneliness when a stranger finds one in a parking lot; they slay the giant of fear when the finder reads the message and remembers God's got them through whatever they're walking through. And the Digital Striplings here in Rogue Geeks pick up a different kind of stone: a Kingdom Node, a CrownOS install, a self-hosted local AI model, an open-source toolchain — to slay the giant of Big Tech overlordship that has controlled the internet for the last twenty years. Same David. Same brook. Same lineage. Different giant in front of each generation. The classroom side gathers the technical creators teaching the work — Linux distros (CrownOS especially), self-hosting, AI / LLM / RAG, cybersecurity, network engineering, web development, mobile dev, embedded / Raspberry Pi / Arduino, 3D printing and CAD, ham radio, retro computing. Imported from across the internet (NetworkChuck, Rob Braxman Tech, ThePrimeagen, Fireship, Theo, Ben Awad, freeCodeCamp, Mental Outlaw, DistroTube), claimed when the creators find us. Live Workshops at HolyPlaces fill out the calendar — homeschool weekend coding camps, install-fests for kids switching to Linux, ham-radio license prep nights, AI build-along sessions where teens deploy their first model on a Kingdom Node. The marketplace runs the same Holy Rogue Network template. Coding services, freelance gigs, security audits, custom builds, AI consulting, CrownOS support contracts, Kingdom Node Desktop installs, hardware kits (Raspberry Pi, Arduino, 3D printer parts, retro components), courses (free and paid), bootcamps, ThoughtCoder books and manifests for power users, Live Workshops, mentorship and apprenticeship slots. Climb the Halo Rating ladder by being the developer who ships, the trainer whose graduates land jobs, the security pro whose clients never get breached. Eventually graduate to certified Digital Stripling — the tier of builders who've shown they can ship sovereign code, host local AI, deploy a Kingdom Node from scratch, defend a network, or teach the next stripling how. Get paid in gold-backed Liquid Currency for every line of code, every install, every hour your GPU contributes — withdrawn to Rogue.gold or shipped as Goldbacks, Silverbacks, or US Gold/Silver Eagles to your door. Sister movements Rogue Schoolers → Rogue Gamers → Rogue Geeks form a continuous pipeline: a homeschool kid learns the basics in Rogue Schoolers, finds his tribe and his GPU in Rogue Gamers, becomes a Digital Stripling here in Rogue Geeks. Each step is a different room of the same building. Help us re-invent the internet. Hand Digital Freedom, Data Sovereignty, and full-stack, self-hosted internet-building tools that can be run from your Gaming PC without any Big Tech permission required, to the world.
