Microsoft now forces your documents through its Copilot AI — sending confidential data to US-controlled servers without your consent. UK and European businesses: it is time to explore alternatives. buff.ly/4LFsi3O #DataSovereignty #GDPR #Microsoft365 #OpenSource

The new booking widget has an additional feature where it creates a combined free/buy calendar feed you can offer to people to subscribe to. All this is free at statichost.uk. If you have a static site, you can find a new UK-based home for it that puts privacy first!

Your VPN is probably not protecting you as much as you think. Here are the tools I actually use to stay private online: buff.ly/5XwNlNM #OnlinePrivacy #CyberSecurity #SelfHosted #DigitalSovereignty #OpenSource

Australia's ban isn't working because of the reasons I mention in both posts: x.com/axelsegebrecht…

Banning teens from VPNs and social media won't protect them — it'll just push everything underground. Education, not prohibition, is the answer. And maybe start taxing the companies that created this mess. axelsegebrecht.com/posts/2026-02-… #OnlineSafety #Privacy #CyberAwareness

@ZackPolanski where do the greens stand om the social media ban?

Australia's social media ban is already failing. If Iran can't make censorship work with full control over the internet, what chance does an age restriction have? Education, not prohibition. bebraver.to/HZXcug #Censorship #DigitalLiteracy #OnlineSafety

Ring's Super Bowl ad promised to find lost dogs. Critics saw mass surveillance in disguise. And your neighbour's camera? It might be the weakest link on their entire network. Here's what you can actually do about it. #Privacy #IoTSecurity #Ring axelsegebrecht.com/posts/2026-02-…

I changed the boring look of my new website to a sexy masonry grid. Check it out and let me know if you think it's hot or not : axelsegebrecht.com

I've been thinking a lot about how we tackle #climatechange as a community. dub.sh/KrrDMTo #climateaction #communityresilience

Spam protection shouldn't mean surveillance. We've added Altcha to our form processing — proof-of-work captcha, no cookies, no tracking. h̲t̲t̲p̲s̲://d̲u̲b̲.s̲h̲/d̲D̲E̲5̲i̲M̲M̲ #S̲t̲a̲t̲i̲c̲H̲o̲s̲t̲U̲K̲

No garden? No experience? No problem. An old bucket, a sprouting potato, and a sunny windowsill are all you need to start growing your own food. It's cheaper, easier, and more rewarding than you think. buff.ly/rWl2KPF #aerouant #GrowYourOwn #FoodResilience

I built a thing: statichost.uk Static Site Hosting UK - Free GDPR-compliant analytics and form processing included! Deploy your Hugo, Jekyll or static site from GitHub or GitLab. No credit card required and currently entirely free, including future premium features.

Climate marches aren't working. The people in power aren't listening. So maybe it's time to stop asking for permission and start building resilience from the ground up. buff.ly/BF7jDlz #aerouant #CommunityResilience #ClimateAdaptation #Preparedness

Turn a Raspberry Pi 5 into a portable mesh router, ad blocker, offline wiki, and media server — all in one box. Take your internet with you, or build your own when there isn't any. buff.ly/fewtn4G #aerouant #RaspberryPi #MeshNetwork #CommunityResilience

The AI gold rush is burning through water, energy, and money at a staggering pace — and for what? Most of it can run locally, privately, and without melting a glacier. buff.ly/XPeHd06 #aerouant #AIBubble #LocalAI #DigitalResilience

The UK's weather isn't just changing, it's whiplashing. And we're still pretending it's normal! buff.ly/proQs37 #ClimateReality #UKWeather #CommunityResilience #Aerouant

I've been working on a new tool for anyone looking to host their #Hugo or #Jekyll static site in the #UK, which is getting ready for release. DM me if you are interested in trying it for free :-) It comes with form processing and analytics, both #GDPR friendly & #privacy-first!
