the double standard only works while everyone still trusts a central company to hold their keys. run your own, and the question shifts from "who guards the data" to "who maintains the server," which is a much more honest place to be. #digitalprivacy #antitracking #sysadminlife
And a lot of Americans are quite capable of grasping how hypocritical it is that U.S. big tech companies only seem to give a shit about protecting user data and privacy from potentially dangerous abuse when they’re calling for bans on Chinese products that compete with them.

20 minutes writing code. 😎
4 hours debugging the CI/CD pipeline. 💀

The foundation of all stable IT systems starts with the universal solution. 🔌 If that fails, it’s probably the firewall rule (or the printer). What’s the number one "have you tried restarting it?" moment you've encountered? 😂
