🔍 So, you want to choose a public DNS resolver, huh? Just whip out your crystal ball and predict which of the 29 options won’t sell your data or collapse under a stiff breeze. 🌀 Who knew you needed a PhD in "DNS-ology" to pick one? 😅

As you said, computers just work around these blockades. Passing the #Cloudflare gate does not prove a man's hand clicked on the box.

A machine can get around Cloudflare's blockade and write a post, all automated by a script.

Configuring the Firefox app has become pretty crazy: its privacy-related options -- just like its commercial clutter -- are all over the place, very much like Google does with its original Android system, hoping that you either give up or forget to turn off the occasional switch.

Even though the use of self-signed certificates pinned with a DANE/TLSA record probably is a closed chapter now — browser builders declined to support it due to lagging DNSSEC adoption — I still think it's a better (additional) solution, especially for non-enterprise users wanting to manage their own domains and hosts. Furthermore, it keeps control over domains and certificates where it naturally belongs: locally in the distributed DNS hierarchy.

The 47-day certificate: faster treadmill, same broken foundation

Managing TLS certificates has become pretty crazy: Over the years validity was cut down from several years to two years to one year to half a year now. In a few years it will be only a little more than one month, with the additional requirement to basically continuously prove domain control.

Several years ago I decided that my personal devices must be secure enough to make anyone trying to invade my digital space think is it worth to even try. I know it is not possible to be 100% secure, but I also know that if you make effort to restrict access to your device and data you will be much safer than doing nothing. #InternetSecurity and #privacy is a necessity, not a choice nowadays.

Warum ich 1000 E-Mail-Adressen nutze - und warum Du das auch tun solltest

Die meisten Menschen nutzen eine einzige E-Mail-Adresse für alles: Online-Shops, Foren, Newsletter, Apps und soziale Netzwerke. Klingt praktisch – ist aber ein Sicherheitsproblem. Denn sobald diese Adresse in einem Datenleck landet, verbreitet sie sich unkontrolliert im Netz. Spam, Phishing und dubiose Werbung sind dann nur eine Frage der Zeit.

Ich gehe einen anderen Weg: Für jeden Dienst verwende ich eine eigene E-Mail-Adresse. Möglich macht das eine simple Technik namens Catch-All. Das Ergebnis ist überraschend effektiv: Ich erkenne sofort, woher Spam kommt, kann einzelne Adressen gezielt abschalten und behalte die Kontrolle über meinen Posteingang.

Warum dieses System funktioniert – und warum es jeder nutzen sollte – erkläre ich im Artikel. [Mehr lesen...]

After signing out of Netflix on the hotel TV before going to sleep, I browsed around all the various internet-connected apps and streaming services…

…and logged out of probably 6 or 7 other accounts (no name duplicates) in various apps.

Wild that people just leave these connections “lying around” all over the place.

Probably worthless me signing those other people’s accounts out, but still…
