About

An independent space for privacy, principle, and the quiet resistance of being left alone.

I started this publication in February 2026 because I believe something essential is slipping away. The right to live without being tracked, predicted, nudged or catalogued is fading, not just online, but in everyday life.

This isn’t about hiding. It’s about dignity. About choice. About the freedom to change your mind, explore ideas, or simply exist without leaving a permanent digital trail.

I write about cybersecurity, online privacy, digital rights, and the people and organizations working to protect them, especially those without big budgets or headlines. Sometimes I dive into the tech. Other times it’s the philosophy, the policy, or the quiet acts of resistance that go unnoticed.

This site is reader supported. There are no ads, no trackers, and no analytics of any kind. All logs have the last octet removed from IP addresses. We don’t know who you are, and we don’t want to. This is by design.

If you subscribe, you get full access to everything, past, present and future. Think of it as your own private library, hosted on the open web. All revenue goes towards paying for the website and donating to non-profits that support our cause.

Your support doesn’t just keep the site running. It proves that spaces like this, small, independent and principled, can exist. And that matters.

Thank you for being here.
