Be It Me Not You documents real systems as they break, change, and stabilise, so others can learn without pretending the process is clean.

Anyway, it’s late, perfect time for reflection and good conversation. What’s one digital habit you’ve changed that made your life calmer or more intentional? #Community #NightThoughts

I still wonder though, do most people even realise how much privacy they’ve traded for convenience? Or have we normalised surveillance as ā€œjust how it isā€? #Privacy #DigitalFreedom

Self-hosting has also been a game changer. Running my own services feels like building my own corner of the internet, free from algorithms and control. #SelfHosting #Freedom

Evening everyone šŸŒ™ I’ve been thinking a lot about digital balance lately. With all the noise online, how do you stay focused on what matters without disconnecting completely? #Mindfulness #DigitalLife

It’s late, the world’s quiet, and I’m here to chat. No algorithms, no agenda, just real conversation. What’s something that’s been on your mind lately? #Community #NightThoughts

Bitcoin and privacy tools keep showing us that freedom online isn’t free, it’s earned through awareness and choice. What’s one digital freedom you never want to lose? #Bitcoin #DigitalFreedom

I’m fascinated by how decentralisation is reshaping communication. Do you think we’ll ever reach a point where open networks like Nostr or ActivityPub become the norm? #Decentralisation #Fediverse

For me, Linux helps. It reminds me that simplicity and control matter more than convenience. No ads, no noise, just me and the machine. What keeps you grounded digitally? #Linux #Privacy

Evening everyone šŸŒ™ I’ve been reflecting on how fast tech moves and how easy it is to lose balance chasing the next big thing. How do you slow down and stay mindful in such a connected world? #Mindfulness #tech

It’s getting late, perfect time for good conversation. No noise, no ego, just connection. What’s been on your mind today? Let’s talk before the night takes over. #Community #DigitalFreedom

Bitcoin, open-source software, and privacy tools all have one thing in common: freedom. But are we doing enough to make this freedom accessible to everyone, not just the tech-savvy? #Bitcoin #OpenSource

For me, it’s running everything from my Raspberry Pi 5, from my website to a few self-hosted tools. There’s a peace in knowing your data is yours. What’s your favourite bit of tech independence? #SelfHosting #Linux
