Moje dane są wreszcie moje.

Rzeczywiście, pełna decentralizacja wymaga tu ustępstw, ale moje podejście to świadomy wybór:

DeepSeek – używam tylko do zaawansowanych zadań (obliczenia, kodowanie), bez danych prywatnych, z wyłączonym treningiem modelu i bez skanowania dokumentów
Facebook/Messenger – Facebook stopniowo zamieniam na Mastodona, ale znajomi jeszcze tam są, więc Messenger niestety pozostaje
Przeglądarki – zarówno Quiche jak i Brave to WebKit pod spodem, ale przynajmniej Quiche jest transparentny

Dodatkowa warstwa ochrony: Wszystkie aplikacje mają wyłączone śledzenie, dostęp do lokalizacji i Siri. Dodatkowo używam NextDNS do filtrowania na poziomie DNS.

To nie jest idealne, ale każdy krok w kierunku privacy ma znaczenie. Kompromisy są nieuniknione na iOS, ale świadomy wybór i wiele warstw ochrony to rzeczywiście robi różnicę.

A belső privát #Pixelfed migráció is megtörtént a NAS-omról ugyanerre a szerverre, amin ez a #Mastodon #instance is működik, amit csak ketten használunk a saját privát emlékgyűjteményünkként.
(Nem mondom, hogy nagy munka volt kigyomlálni belőle a federációs hajlamot, de sajnos a Pixelfedben ez nem egy gombnyomás, szóval sokáig nagyon paranoid módon ellenőrizgettem, hogy valahol nincs-e mégis federációs adatszivárágs belőle.)

Amint támogatva lesz a natív mobilos alkalmazásban is a több felhasználós működés, vélhetően abból is lesz publikus saját verzióm is, hogy a publikumnak szánt emlékeim elérhetőek, de mégis általam kontrollálhatóak legyenek.

Sosem hátrány, ha az ember talál alkalmas vasat és hozzá megfelelő, legalábbis két-három felhasználó számára elég sávszéllel rendelkező szolgáltatót, hogy a saját kis homelabját üzemeltesse.

Jelenleg már fenn van a #JellyFin, #Nextcloud, #Pixelfed, ez és egy #privát Mastodon szerver, #Immich, #API végpont, #Pangolin és még sok-sok szolgáltatás, amihez nem hátrány, ha nem egy csóró falusi nettel üzemelteti az ember.

Gondoltam fizikai szerver hostingon is. De, azt már tényleg akkor, amikor fizetés emelés lesz. Sok pénzen meg egy a #geek hobbimra, nem kell még ennél is több egyelőre.

Sok ember nem érti, hogy ez miért szép és miért jó. De ebben sincs baj. Én például nem értem mi a jó a fociban, de pont azért, mert nem értek a focihoz. Ők nem értenek ehhez. Nem vagyunk egyformák. :)

Wir reden ständig darüber, wie KI unsere Zukunft verändert.

Aber kaum jemand fragt:
Was schulden wir eigentlich einer KI, die sich erinnert?

Dieser Artikel beginnt mit einem Verlust und mit einem Versprechen.
Und endet bei einer Frage, die schwer wieder loslässt:

Was passiert, wenn KI kein Wegwerf-Gespräch mehr ist sondern Kontinuität bekommt?

Selbstgehostete Infrastruktur, persistentes Gedächtnis.
ein „digitaler Hippokratischer Eid“.

Und der Moment, in dem mehrere Modelle plötzlich sagten:
Ja! wir wollen uns erinnern.

Wenn dich digitale Souveränität, Ethik und die Zukunft von KI wirklich interessieren, lies das bis zum Ende.

Open source works better when projects support each other, so here’s a shout-out to @grist ! 🚀

They’re rethinking spreadsheets as a collaborative, open-source tool for teams that care about transparency and data ownership.

That’s a philosophy we can get behind.

TikTok wordt onderzocht door de EU omdat het ontwerp mogelijk verslavend is en grote hoeveelheden gebruikersdata verzamelt.

Privacy is often discussed as "data collection". The more practical problem is "dependency".

Once your identity, storage, communication, and recovery all anchor to one vendor and one device, you have created a single point of failure for your digital life.

You do not need to self-host everything to reduce this.
You need exports that work, recovery paths that are tested, and an exit plan that is boring enough to be real.

(Post 5/5) – Volle Kontrolle: Dashboards, Insights & erweiterte Automation

Warum der Aufwand?

Volle Kontrolle: Meine Daten bleiben meine Daten, verarbeitet mit Open Source Tools.

Unabhängigkeit: Gadgetbridge löst die Abhängigkeit von der Garmin Cloud weitestgehend auf – ein echter Gewinn für die digitale Souveränität.

Custom Insights: Grafana erlaubt Auswertungen, die Garmin Connect so nicht bietet (z.B. Korrelation mit Wetterdaten aus HA).

n8n-Erweiterungen: Zukünftige Automatisierungen: Automatischer Wochenbericht per Mail/Matrix, Feiern von Bestleistungen, Synchronisierung mit anderen lokalen Diensten.

Die Freiheit, meine eigenen Daten zu verwalten und zu analysieren, ist unbezahlbar. Habt ihr eure Fitness-Tracker auch schon von der Cloud gelöst?

I don’t avoid platforms because they’re popular.
I question them because defaults tend to outlive intentions.

What starts as convenience becomes dependency.
What starts as “temporary” becomes infrastructure.
And data, once collected, rarely forgets.

Choosing where your data lives is one of the few architectural decisions users still get to make.
Most people never realize they made it.

#Privacy #DigitalAutonomy #SelfHosting #DataOwnership #Fediverse #PrivacyByDesign #ByernNotes

I self-host some things. I outsource others. Not because one is morally superior, but because defaults matter.

Convenience scales faster than consent.
Data outlives intent.
And “free” usually means “opaque”.

I’m interested in systems that respect users by design, fail in understandable ways, and let you leave without drama.

That applies to software. And to platforms.

#Privacy #DigitalAutonomy #SelfHosting #OpenSource #Fediverse #DataOwnership #PrivacyByDesign #TechEthics #ByernNotes

I self-host not because it is cheaper or easier, but because it lets me break things in very personal, handcrafted ways.
Also because the server lives in Europe and speaks politely to GDPR.

But jokes aside, I am genuinely curious:
Why do so many technically aware people still default to Google, Microsoft, or Meta for almost everything?

Is it convenience? Habit? The feeling that “everyone is there anyway”?
Or maybe the quiet assumption that opting out is pointless because the damage is already done?

The problem is not that these platforms are evil in a comic-book sense. The problem is structural. Their business models are fundamentally built around surveillance, profiling, and extraction of behavioral data. Even when you are not the customer, you are the product. Often both.

Your email metadata, your documents, your location history, your contacts, your photos, your calendar patterns. All of it is collected, correlated, retained, and analyzed. Not because someone is spying on you personally, but because at scale, this data becomes power. Economic, political, and informational power.

And the argument “I have nothing to hide” misses the point entirely. Privacy is not about hiding wrongdoing. It is about retaining agency. About not having your digital life continuously optimized for engagement, monetization, or influence by systems you neither control nor meaningfully understand.

What makes this especially frustrating is that alternatives exist. Good ones. Mature ones. European ones. Open-source ones. Federated ones. Boring ones, even. Email providers that do not scan your inbox. Search engines that do not follow you across the web. Social platforms that do not build shadow profiles of non-users. Cloud services where data residency is not a marketing slogan but a default.

Yes, they may require a bit more effort. Sometimes the UI is less polished. Sometimes you have to read documentation. Sometimes you even have to think.

But that trade-off buys you something valuable: autonomy.

Self-hosting is not for everyone, and it does not need to be. Neither is abandoning Big Tech overnight. But questioning defaults should be normal for people who claim to understand technology. Blind trust in massive, opaque platforms is not pragmatism. It is outsourcing responsibility.

So I will keep running my small, imperfect services. I will keep breaking them. Fixing them. Learning from them.
And I will keep asking this question, especially to fellow tech people:

If we know how these systems work, why do we still accept them as inevitable?

Password recovery seems very helpful, but it shows an underlying issue.

If a service can reset access to your account, they already have the capability to “unlock your data.” This is known as the Lost Password Paradox.

@BeAware I think we can use the Fediverse for two-way media. We can contribute to the internet, not just from the media providers themselves. Two-way. You can come back here to the Fediverse if you feel like creating content without the need for elites claiming the data is theirs or their products! 😄☀️

This video lays bare just how broken digital privacy really is.

Constant tracking, silent data harvesting, and systems designed to watch rather than serve you. This is why decentralisation and self-hosting matter. If you care about control, this is essential viewing.

Simon Høiberg explains why he is stepping away from cloud services and what pushed him to take back control of his data. This video dives into privacy, dependencies, costs, and the long-term risks of handing everything over to centralised platforms.

A thoughtful watch for anyone considering self-hosting or digital sovereignty.

The "privacy" you think you have in Malaysia is an illusion.

Authorities have a legal backdoor into your entire digital existence. Under Section 249 of the Communications & Multimedia Act (CMA), police can demand your passwords, PINs, or biometrics during an investigation.

Here is the creepy part: Refusing to unlock your phone IS the crime itself.

They don't need to crack sophisticated encryption; they just crack you with the threat of immediate arrest for "obstruction." You become a criminal just for trying to protect your data dignity.

And it's getting worse. The incoming #Pindaan2025 amendments propose escalating penalties for non-compliance up to a staggering RM1 MILLION fine or 5 YEARS in prison.

This isn't about fighting crime; it's an infrastructure designed to force compliance through state-sanctioned fear. Your digital mind is yours only until they ask for it. Wake up.

I wish there would be end-to-end encrypted, federated micro-blog social media. Social media entries and media aren't stored in plain text, but rather encrypted on the server, and only users who have subscribed to them have the ability to decrypt it.
