🚨 New Video: Cute & Thocky - Epomaker TH99 Pro Review

The Epomaker TH99 Pro looks incredible and sounds amazing right out of the box with its Creamy Jade switches. But what happens when you plug a "smart" keyboard into an Artix Linux machine and the kernel thinks it's a 20-year-old Vivitar webcam?

Today, we put this 98-key board through the Terminal Tilt hardware test to see if it actually respects your digital sovereignty. We score it on Modularity, Repairability, and Sovereignty, and jump into what it actually takes to bypass proprietary drivers to use the built-in screen.

🚨 New Video: Protecting You From Yourself - The Token2 Review

We have looked at the industry standard (YubiKey) and the philosophical idealist (Nitrokey). Today, we’re looking at the aggressor: Token2.

The PIN+ Dual Release 3.3 and the Bio3 come in at nearly half the price of the competition, but there is a catch. This Swiss company doesn't care about convenience; they care about correctness. From hardware-enforced complex PINs to a literal war on legacy TOTP codes, Token2 assumes your ego is your biggest vulnerability.

Is this cynical, locked-down approach exactly what we need for true digital sovereignty, or is the clunky user experience a dealbreaker? Let's find out if this is the ultimate punk rock choice for your threat model.

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
