  • Ignore the critics

    Let’s say you’re planning to read a new book, watch a Movie or, in my case, considering purchasing a new video game. I usually check review sites like Metacritic to see if it was well-received. For some reason, critics always seem to praise the worst games and shame the best ones.

    I know I could just skip reading these reviews, but since I don’t have a lot of money, I need to make smart choices. Sometimes, the reviews from the users help a lot.











  • Tails is easily the distro which surprised me the most. This is because, even tough I would rate myself a well aware privacy advocate, I didn’t expect to see a full suite of privacy tools. I somehow just expected, that it would be just the Tor Browser and nothing more. I don’t know what I thought tough. I need to mention, that Tails was one of my first distros I’ve used so I was kind of mindblown that all these tools could fit onto a USB Thumb drive.







  • I have gotten in trouble for using a VPN I’m the past but it was just a little talk and then they were cool with it. The thing is, that it is my device and at the school I don’t have a strong enough signal for my phone. So I can’t just make a hotspot and use that as WiFi. I need to use the WiFi to get my things done but I will not use the WiFi if I can’t protect my privacy. I know that this sounds pretty stupid but I won’t comply with my school.






  • A few years back I worked at a home. They organised the whole data structure but needed to move to another Providor. I and my colleagues moved roughly just about 15.4 TB. I don’t know how long it took because honestly we didn’t have much to do when the data was moving so we just used the downtime for some nerd time. Nerd time in the sense that we just started gaming and doing a mini LAN party with our Raspberry and banana pi’s.

    Surprisingly the data contained information of lots of long dead people which is quiet scary because it wasn’t being deleted.
