Wealth inequality has hit Gilded Age levels of absurdity. If you are providing genuine value and building tools for the people, but you can’t pay your bills, you aren’t "running a business." You are performing uncompensated charity for a society that’s being drained by a small group who is hoarding wealth.

I am committed to keeping my work independent and accessible. If you find value in what I do, you can support that mission here:

The FOSS Option (Liberapay): No-fee, open-source, and privacy-respecting. Perfect for those of you who value digital sovereignty. https://liberapay.com/terminaltilt/donate

The YouTube Option (Channel Membership): The easiest way to support the channel directly within the platform you're already using. https://www.youtube.com/@TerminalTilt/join

Whether it’s through a donation or just sharing the work, I appreciate you helping keep this project human-made.

🚨 New Video: Fluxer: Passion Project or AI Vibe Coded?

I joined @ReignOfRaining on her Linux channel to talk about why "trust me bro" isn't a valid security policy for #OpenSource software. We talk about erased histories and the hidden role of LLMs in development.

🚨 New Video: Virtue is Inconvenient - The Nitrokey 3 Review

In my last video, I crowned the YubiKey 5 as the "King of Keys" but it has a fatal flaw. It is proprietary. For those of us who believe in digital sovereignty and the right to audit our own hardware, blind trust is not an option.

Then there is Nitrokey 3A NFC. It promises open-source firmware, transparent design, and code written in memory safe Rust. But does "open" actually mean "good?" Today, we look at whether the moral high ground is worth the inconvenience, why the Android experience might be a deal breaker, and who should actually buy this device.

Fediverse friends!

I am officially launching the Terminal Tilt community on Stoat.

Stoat has a good record with #NoAI The project removed any AI code and swore to never use it. It is familiar if you have ever used Discord.

If you are tired of algorithmic feeds and want a space built on digital sovereignty and the right to repair, this is it. No big tech, no tracking, just us on an open source platform sharing memes and anything else we feel like.

Here is the Stoat invite link: https://stt.gg/GgB6HBTv

🚨 New Video: YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced?

The "Industry Standard" is usually a warning sign.

In this video, we are looking at the YubiKey 5 NFC and 5C NFC. These are arguably the best engineered security keys on the planet. They are injection molded, "violence-proof," and they work with just about everything. But for those of us in the Linux and FOSS community, they present a problem.

Can you trust a security tool if you aren't allowed to see how it works?

🚨 New Video: Divoom Pixoo 64 Review: Great Hardware, Bad Software

If your "smart" clock requires precise GPS location, microphone access, and a cloud login just to tell the time, it is not a tool, it’s a spy.

The Pixoo 64 looks great on camera with 4,096 LEDs, but behind the retro aesthetic is a cluttered, ad-filled app and a chatty IoT device that pings home to Divoom’s servers for every basic function.
