SSH over Tor: from "just curious" to "this is wild"
I walked through setting up a Tor proxy for SSH and traced my session across countries. The result? A cool, if slightly impractical, tool for network testing and anonymity.
Setup steps, config snippets, and real-world results included.

Whether you're a developer, architect, or policy strategist, this session offers practical insights into trusted and compliant data sharing.
Just shipped something I’ve been quietly building:
Umbra AI – a clean, privacy-first wrapper for open-source language models.
No tracking
Plug your own API (or run hosted models)
Minimal, uncensored
Built it because I wanted freedom without losing usability.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs are now open source, because letting everyone see your invisible tech is obviously the best way to keep it secret. 
Meanwhile, #Google wants to know how often you use their AI tools, because apparently they haven't been tracking your every swipe and click already.

Meta’s latest trick shows that privacy protections aren’t enough. Here’s how to fight back 
EFF researchers uncovered a new tracking method used by Meta: a localhost exploit on Android that breaks sandboxing and identifies users even in incognito or behind VPNs.
Top defense moves:
Use privacy-first browsers (Brave, DuckDuckGo), or enable Firefox’s “Strict” mode
Remove unneeded Meta apps and avoid in‑app browsers
Install Privacy Badger to block tracking pixels
Push for federal bans on behavioral ad tracking
This isn’t just a one-off, there’s a pattern. Without structural reform to online ad surveillance, Big Tech will continue undermining privacy. It’s time for laws that protect us by default.

Your phone’s accelerometer can leak data—even when everything else is locked down.
Apps can use motion sensors to guess what you’re typing, track movement, and fingerprint devices.
Limit motion sensor access in browser settings.
Deny permissions unless absolutely needed.
Consider app sandboxing for added control.
Your browser fingerprint is more unique than your name.
Canvas, fonts, OS, plugins—all logged. Use anti-fingerprint browsers like Brave or Tor. Disable JavaScript when possible. Spoof your setup with tools like Trace.

Did you know the NSA built one of the best Linux security tools—and the FOSS community made it trustworthy?
That tool is SELinux.
This write-up explains:
What SELinux really does
How it labels and controls everything—even root
Why turning it off is a bad habit (and what to do instead)
