Latest blog posts about Privacy

I have been using iCloud to synchronize files for more than I can remember. Recently, I became a little annoyed by the political and privacy situation in the united states of america, and I decided to move away from Apple’s iCloud.

Instead of deploying more tools on my homelab like NextCloud or WebDAV, I went with a decentralized solution that surprisingly removed the need to self-host servers for other use cases too!

During the last year my interests verted to security and privacy. I had time to explore and have fun with encryption and some protocols to strength the security and feel more safe from the bad guys, the annoying business, the stealing banks and the spying governments.

During the 2014 I’ve learned how much privacy and security are important. Apart from my “nerdy needs”, I started observing my habits, considering who reads what and where my important information are stored online. My bank accounts, passwords, email and some private conversations should stay private and encrypted. Some other information should still be available to somebody as other documents could be read by anyone.
