Online #Privacy begins in your offline life. I am interested in preserving personal privacy when possible, clawing it back, balancing privacy with reality, continuous learning and changing my mind. Remaining private, but being a realist about it all. My posts are around security/privacy, offline and online, covering the basics, amplifying the pro-privacy voices, agitators, threats, ethical hackers, experts and resisters.

Local View: Stauber's bill bad for BWCAW, all public lands

From the column: "It's healthy to argue over what to do with public lands. ... The BWCAW is our nation’s most popular wilderness area. It’s a unique landscape. There is no backup."

DAVID BOWIE
I’m Afraid Of Americans
1997 U.S. 12” Single

My splurge for this month, and an appropriate record for our present day.

SIX different versions of an amazing song, with help from Trent Reznor & Ice Cube.

Amazing find, today. Couldn’t allow myself to pass it up, despite the price tag.

"The #fediverse is an island within an increasingly dystopian capitalist hellscape. And from my perspective, #Mastodon is our best shot at bringing this vision of a better future to the masses. "

@Gargron Thank you!
