It's hard to help without knowing what languages you work with and what kind of feedback you're getting. Are your solutions overbuilt? Poorly documented? Introducing new patterns where they aren't needed? The biggest clue I

Let's say I want to research something in private. I can absolutely connect to tor and have my identity hidden from the surveillance networks that track us all. Of course, I can't hide from the NSA. If the NSA wants me, they&#x

You don't have to have a phone on you all the time. But if you do, it should be considered bugged because you have no way to audit it. Also, bugging my residence isn't going to result in very interesting data by design. I coul

How is that possible? As best as I can tell, your location is tracked at all times, the OS has telemetry built-in, and lots of telemetry data is going out with every app. Also how do you audit it? I'm sure my phone is leaking way mor

This is really disingenuous. I'm not arguing "privacy is dead" or "nothing to hide". I'm arguing for understanding how to have privacy when and if you want it, and how to hide things you might not want asso

You must be really attached to your phone if that's how you're reading it. Another solution would be to never bring your phone (or any other device) into your bedroom, for example, and only have sensitive conversations there.

How is that ironic? I don't want people associating this account with my real life identity, so I made it separate and access it differently than other identifiable services. That's the whole point that I'm trying to make.

Next time you're having a conversation with your wife, count the number of microphones in the room. I'd be shocked if it's zero. I'm not asking "why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?". I'm

Your phone can do all the same things as those devices, and it's a better target for attackers because it's always on you. I just bought into the Nest system (which also had great deals on black friday), and I'm just not worr

Yeah, proxmox is debian. I think people don't realize you can install their fancy web UI on debian. Proxmox is opinionated about how storage is allocated (I think lvm-thin is a bad idea), doesn't support docker, and has some qu

Proxmox is pretty cool, but it doesn't make sense unless you're running many machines and utilizing ceph. For a home user, Debian (or some other stable distro) is still going to be the best distro for doing hypervisor stuff.

I use a VPN for privacy, which is great, but routing my traffic through it will exclude me from sites that try to block VPNs (mostly streaming services). What I really need is Cloudflare's WARP via wireguard config. I love the idea th

That's fantastic, but in terms of threat model, you're still trusting AWS/DO/GCE/Azure/whatever. My hope with a good VPN service is that they'll run their own servers in a data center, so they're sli
