Many of us still treat privacy as a personal habit: stronger passwords, cleaner settings, fewer things shared.
But privacy is also about power: who gets to know, classify, predict, influence, and decide what happens next.
The fight for privacy is a fight for rights.

Just a small life update.
After losing my good phone in the robbery, I currently have to rely on my old device again, and it’s struggling badly. The battery barely lasts anymore, so I need to reduce power usage and keep things as lightweight and minimal as possible. Because of that, I’m stepping away from some platforms and rethinking which communication networks I truly want to depend on in the future.
What I will continue using and keeping are open and decentralized networks like XMPP, Matrix, SimpleX, Nostr, and the Fediverse. Those spaces feel far more independent, resilient, and aligned with the kind of digital future I want to support.
Step by step I’m rebuilding my setup, simplifying things, and focusing more on privacy-friendly and decentralized technology again. Sometimes losing a device really changes the way you think about communication, ownership, and dependence on centralized platforms.

I have been such a fan of #bambuLab until this exact moment. You don't get to lock down devices after user purchase them! What absolute pieces of shit!

I registered in Disroot yesterday because I wanted to replace my google address and have a better E-Mail address. Now I also have another Mastodon account.
This is so cool! How much GB server space do I have @ Disroot?

After backing up my laptop for days, I finally reset it and installed a fresh copy of Fedora Linux. Today was setup day: software, email, and accounts. After 15+ years I’m moving away from my old Google address and switching to Disroot as my new main email. Now listening to a podcast and relaxing a bit. 📸

If you aren't paying for the product, you ARE the product. Unless it's FOSS. Then you are the owner. Support independent developers! ✊

Your #digitalfreedom dies the second you click "I agree" without reading.
Building your own corner of the network isn't nerdy - it's survival. Real agency means throwing away corporate crutches, even the ones that autocomplete your thoughts.
#Agency is absolute. Or it's a leash.
Are you the master of your own dream - or just an unpaid beta-tester for someone else's #algorithm?

The latest from MIZAN channel: 267K subscribers, 27K photos, 18K videos. That’s not just a Telegram channel—it’s a digital lifeline for Iranians navigating censorship. Makes you wonder what other corners of the world are building their own internet underground. #Telegram #Iran #DigitalFreedom #CensorshipBypass

So, as I've mentioned, I got a spare old #desktop computer and my friend has suggested to turn it into a #server . Which is cool and all that - but for what reason? Just because I can didn't seem to be a good reason for me...however, I've kinda realized I can do a couple things at once.
By making a server (based on #debian13 netinstall) and moving my webpage from shared hosting and Wordpress to #selfhosting and #ghostblog I can actually claim some #digitalfreedom .
And then it's hit me.
You know the meme "split,bro?" ?
If you are into the #underground music scene, especially in the #gorenoise #goregrind #punk #dbeat #grindcore and probably also some other genres, you might be familiar with it.
So to learn something useful, I've decided to create Split, Bro? app. Small, self-hosted, dedicated to help those unknown, underground bands and projects to find their split partners for joint releases.
And although it will need some more polishing and some features are #wip , I am quite happy with the outcome!!!
If you want to have a look:and don't forget to give me a feedback here! Much appreciated!

I use Keet a lot lately.
This might sound like an ad, but it’s not. Just sharing something I actually use.
No servers. No data harvesting. Messages go directly between people. 
I know most won’t bother trying it. That’s fine.

I've been building an independent publication called The Grist. It's writing about civics, technology, rights, and practical knowledge. This one's a big swing for me and I've put a lot into it. No ads, no algorithm, no paywall. Take a look and let me know what you think. hope you like it. grist.ink
