Hey EU friends 👋
Google's new reCAPTCHA logs which certified device visited which site and when. Across millions of websites. Without meaningful consent.
That's not just sketchy. That might be illegal under GDPR.
Time to ask some questions. Ep 26 tells you where to start.

Old CAPTCHAs asked: "Can you think?" New reCAPTCHA asks: "Are you compliant?"
Google shifted the question from proving you're human to proving you're their customer. That's not security. That's a loyalty test.

Can you prove you're human without proving you're a Google customer? 🤔

Your lease didn't just rent you a roof. It rented you a node in a network.
Smart locks, thermostats, and water sensors are logging your life to the cloud. And you didn't consent.
Episode 25: The "Smart Building" trap & how to fight back.

You chose the smart vacuum. You didn't choose the smart lock on your front door.
One you can unplug. The other? You're forced to use it. You can't swap it for a dumb deadbolt. You can't opt out. It's in the lease.
Your home shouldn't be a surveillance tool you can't turn off.

CW: AI generated episode cover. My podcast isn't AI though. If it was I'd make it get rid of the breaths and fumbled words that are sometimes in there.
Your water sensor knows when you shower. Your thermostat knows when you sleep. Your smart lock knows who visits.
And your landlord owns all that data.
Episode 25: How to lock them out.

Your smart lock doesn't just open your door. It opens a database your landlord has access to.
Every entry. Every exit. Every guest. Timestamped and stored forever.
And you didn't even choose the brand.
It's not all hopeless though. There are ways to push back. Listen to episode 25, and join the resistance

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 transparentnyDodatkowa 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.

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:
Hardware & OS
- Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
- OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech
Infrastructure & Networking
- Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
- Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
- DNS: #Cloudflare
- Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
- Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity
Security & Monitoring
- Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
- Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
- Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
- Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
- Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools
Authentication & Identity Management
- Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
- LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
#AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement
Productivity & Personal Tools
- Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
- Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
- Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
- Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
- Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
- Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
- Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking! 🍳📖 #CookingApps
- RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
- Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
- Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
- File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
- Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
- IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
- Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater
Notifications & Development Workflow
- Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
- Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote
Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
- Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
- Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

Just re-read the @privacytools article about the attempted hostile #takeover, and my disgust for @jonah resurfaced.
I identify with the writer's personality of focusing on doing things better, not giving a shit about bureaucracy, the difficulty and time-consuming battles a technical-focused person has against a smooth-talker #manipulator and the possibility for #abuse by a power/fame seeking asshole this brings.
From the writer's point of view, this is exactly the kind of environment a power seeking asshole will try to #exploit for their own benefit and that seems how @privacyguides came to be.
I also like #anonymity and focus on giving my best, not #fame and #glory.
Fuck you @jonah !
I will continue to support @privacytools
