I use those GDRP screens for a little moment of mindfulness now to consider, whether I really want to read the article behind it. The answer has turned out to be almost always no a…

Streisand [ https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand ] automates the setup of several different VPN services on cloud providers.

I'm incredulous about the average person having enough knowledge about the possible pros and cons of these choices. Nor should they - that's what representative democracy is for. A…
