   I am sorry, but if you need someone else to provide you with a list like that, you should NOT be doing this. It is the wrong approach on so many levels.

   I don't get what the fuss is about. I run several Arch boxes, a couple I believe is on 15+ years. One such installation has even been mirrored from one disk to multiple other disks and put into other machines, just because it was alrea

   No. It adds nothing but unneeded complexity to the stack. Learn how to package your software and use the package manager. You can combine that, if you must, with any kind of config manager like Ansible or something else. So many companies a

   I cannot believe how big of a monstrosity systemd has become. It started out as an init system and was promoted as such and I started out liking it. Then the wording suddenly changed to "a suite of basic building blocks for a Linux sys

   We keep things as close to the bare metal as possible and avoid complex layers as the plague. We have only negative experiences with frameworks and big layers. They solve problems quickly in the beginning, but they always end up causing pro

    I think you misunderstand. Of course everything needs to be encrypted. However, feeding everything through HTTPS is WRONG! This is basic computer and network engineering. If you want to encrypt DNS, fine encrypt DNS, but flipping leave the

    Yeah, let's start feeding our mail, ftp, ntp, and everything else over HTTPS as well now we're at it! DoH is DNS done completely wrong. It's the worst patch solution to a problem that should have been solved correctly long ag

    I almost look forward to the day when it all blows up in the face of those who thought that all of these, in reality economical driven half-baked solutions - disguised as privacy or security, end up causing such a break down, that nothing w

    Google's non-free JavaScript recaptcha is an absolute showstopper! At least roll out a custom made solution of nothing else.

    From a hardware perspective, everything is many times faster that it was just ten years ago. From a user of the web perspective, then I cannot even find the right words to describe the madness that front-end developers are causing with thei

    I think I switched to Duckduckgo about 3 years ago and I have not done any searching on Google since then (with a very few exceptions just to compare). I have been very happy with the results Duckduckgo provides. The only exception, which i

    Congratulations, amazing work! I absolutely love how you have opted out for frameworks on the website and that it just work. Kudos! The same for your considerations for making it work on old hardware and you comments on your live stream tod

    It has nothing to do with isolation from the world, it's protection. The children still have lots of friends.

    I'm perhaps going to hit a soft spot here, but parents need to take serious responsibility for their children. Home school the children! Take control of the Internet (firewall and DNS) and don't allow access to social media or a s
