Why I started a Blog
I got sick of pretending things were fine.
Nothing radicalized me, I just started paying attention.
Every day, you’re told to smile while getting scanned, tracked, logged, sold. We lost the fun P2P internet we had in the 90’s and it became corporate. Terms and conditions as long as books. Apps you can’t just buy anymore, only monthly subscription fees while they suck every bit of personal data they can from you. Cameras on every block. Microphones in your pocket. Cell tower drops. Mass surveillance as the default and people still call it freedom.
Palantir, Chainalysis, freaking Google
I watched the creep happen. So did you. One update at a time. One convenience at a time. Until one day you realize your life isn’t yours anymore. It’s data on someone else’s server. You are a commodity packaged and sold.
So I started giving friendly tips to people on nostr. Then I started writing. I just wanted to say what no one around me was saying out loud. I wanted to bring back the cypherpunk spirit. I wanted to contribute because it was the right thing to do.
We all can see what is happening but few people seem to care. Fewer realize that there is anything they can do about it.
This blog is a punch to the nose to complacency. A middle finger to passive acceptance. A notebook for people who still believe in owning their mind, their files, their fate.
I’m not selling you privacy. I’m helping you claw it back.
WHAT COMES NEXT
Whatever the hell it takes.
I’ll be posting guides. The kind that break dependencies. Encryption that actually works. Operational habits that don’t rely on trust. Notes from the edge. Mistakes too (yes they will happen) I’m not here to cosplay invincibility. I don’t know everything and we all are forever learning,
You won’t get RSS-perfect weekly drops. You’ll get what matters, when it matters.
If you want dopamine loops, scroll somewhere else.
But if you’re ready to unplug, unlearn, and start carving your own exit, you’ll find tools here. Guides, Rants, Maps, Warnings, and Matches to burn it all down.
