  • Zeit: Bereite dich für morgen vor, so kannst du länger und sorgefreier schlafen.

    Geld: Denke nach bevor du was kaufst, Angebot oder nicht, besonders Dinge die du in Echt nicht anfassen kannst: Digitale Güter muss man nicht immer kaufen.

    Zeit und Geld: Hol dir Sodastream. Glaub mir, Pfand abgeben dauert länger als für ein paar Köpfe zu sprudeln und das Aldi-Sirup sowie CO2 reicht. Unser Leitungswasser ist super und unfassbar viele Leute wissen es nicht.

    Auch: uBlock Origin und YouTube ReVanced, weil das Leben zu kurz für Werbung ist und dein (Mindenst-)Lohn zu schade für Großkonzerne ist.

    Brilliant. Do you call this quantum consciousness, quantum mind or something? At least in German its Quantenbewusstsein. After all these years i remember that photons notice you observe them and behave differently, because it’s ducking interesting.








  • As long as it applies to the normalplebian things like WhatsApp, I’m not really concerned nor surprised.

    It is up to us to protect themselves and it has been since the wake of malicious ads that track your every click. It’s gotten so bad that you’d have to be insane to not use uBlock Origin.

    Now it’s time to find another means of communication. So many privacy oriented open source apps have come out and all that you need to do is install one and tell your friends… such as SimpleX Chat and Session Messenger.

    Don’t sleep on your OPSEC, unless you have a reason to. :)



  • Working minimum wage or struggling with money for any reason shall not mean you cannot have nice things in life, never. So I do the thing. Sometimes. Normalizing spending money into things you physically cannot touch is one thing i could get over with, like buying GOG (DRM free) games i’ll actually end up playing, but licenses to play a dang video game that is valid for god knows how long? This is where I draw the line.

    Your friend is right: when them corpos suck us dry, we gotta suck em back. It is easy as that.

    Furthermore: It’s not piracy when paying for it is not owning it.









  • No. That would defeat the purpose of me installing Linux in (old) laptops. Windows feels sluggish enough with a sea of bad things wanting your minimum wage and have Windows Defender prevent it but not all of it, obviously.

    I put all my attention to prevention and set strict rules on the router. It can be as simple as setting the DNS to stuff like dnsforge.de or DIY it with PiHole with hosts lists of your hearts content that update itself weekly, I do the latter. Nothing beats a cross platform solution that protects every device in the network, if you’re after 100% performance. Of course you can still catch bad things, such as social engineering by email that happened over at Linus Tech Tips. You better stay vigilant no matter what solution you use and don’t sleep on making backups, which can be as simple and automated when you use Syncthing for example.
