This is sad 😢
UPDATE (2026-03-02): This toot has gotten a lot more attention than what I would ever anticipate. Some clarifications are needed. A follow up is here: https://infosec.exchange/@dazo/116158898983233133
I wrote down some ideas about how to recover after a police raid and how to prepare for it in my first blog post.
Would be nice to hear your thoughts about it :)
Boosts welcome 🔄
TLDR: This post proposes the idea to use a recovery kit, a small encrypted file prepared and distributed to friends, to help restore your (digital) life after a total data loss, for example in case of a police raid. It aims to discuss what to include in the recovery kit and gives a detailed description on how to prepare it. Request for Comments: So far I only discussed this idea with a very small number of people and this is the first time I’m writing it down in detail. If you think I’m missing something or didn’t consider something important please let me know.

Die Debatte um ein Mindestalter für Social Media geht am Problem vorbei: die Gefahren hören ja nicht mit 16 oder 18 auf - ganz im Gegenteil.
Der Vergleich zum Glücksspiel ist treffender, als diejenigen ahnen, die ihn verwenden:
* zutiefst korruptes Geschäftsmodell
* große Schäden für die Gesellschaft
* Mindestalter LEGITIMIERT das Geschäftsmodell und seine Opfer sind „selbst schuld.“
So wird der Missstand zementiert, statt an der Wurzel eliminiert.
When I grow up, I want to write like this:
