  • Don’t over think it, start small, a home server. Then add stuff, you will see that it’s not that crazy.

    I personally have just one home server that locally creates encrypted backups and uploads them to backblaze.

    This gives me the privacy I need as everything is on my server that I own while also having the backups on a big reliable company.

    It’s not perfect but it fits my threat model











  • Being antivax.

    I grew up in an antivax house and I never questioned it, especially since me and my family used to be healthier than most people around us.

    There would be vaccine days in school and we would have to go and refuse them. only when the corona hit and suddenly there was all this discussion about the importance of vaccines and I started to actually research it, given I was still young at the time so I don’t blame myself for not doubting it up until that point.

    To this day I’m still wary of vaccines and I do have this deep feeling that I don’t want to be vaccinated but I do get my vaccines after researching them and proving to myself that the data makes sense.

    I also can’t ignore the fact that there is a conflict of interest for these companies to release these vaccines and them maybe not being as safe as possible but I try to follow the data especially from independent research that isn’t related to the company that made the vaccine.

    It’s really crazy how childhood beliefs can hold you so strongly even when you logically get through them and realize they are wrong.
