I have been using Ungoogled Chromium as my main (and mostly sole) browser for years.

OpenSSH is the de-facto SSH implementation.

As some of you might reckon, I ran a number of privacy-friendly services, front-ends for big tech platforms: the already defunct Nitter for Twitter/X, Jouwbuis for Youtube, Redlib for Reddit and Koekel/Searx for search engines.

Today, we live in an increasingly interconnected world.

A couple of months ago, I scored a pretty good deal on a server rental (hexa-core Xeon-D, 32G DDR4, two 250GB SSDs) for 22 pops each month.

I feel a bit ashamed to admit that, despite using OpenBSD on a daily basis for nearly twenty years, I have never attended EuroBSDcon.

Despite being an older piece, I'd like to recommend this longread on Brian Acton and how he, as a former WhatsApp founder, gave the middle finger to Facebook.

EDIT: this is actually a repost of a blogpiece I've published years back but got lost over time I love open source.

The evil empire known as Google is experimenting with yet another clusterfuck of a technology, known as FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts) - which is basically a technique to track visitors on the web, without the requirement of cookies.

Albeit having a strong preference for Jitsi Meet, I had to get Skype working on OpenBSD to meet online with a client.
