My electricity rates have risen by 33% since 1 July 2023, but apparently, in Australia, we only have YoY "6% inflation".

Over the past 6 months, thanks to Bitcoin I have reassessed my privacy and security and opted to move away from big tech and secure my sats. Here is a list of tasks that have helped me achieve sovereignty over my data and privacy.

- Built a small PC with a Raspberry Pi in a SNES case with Umbrel.

- Installed electrs and bitcoin core to run my own node.

- Upgraded to Coldcard mk4 with off-site backups.

- Setup Sparrow over my own node and Tor.

- Migrated to self-hosting my data on Nextcloud instance (learned some basics with DNS and HTTPs) bye iCloud.

Next on the list is:

- Buy a Yubikey for 2FA

- Move to GrapheneOS and Google Pixel

- Read OSINT Techniques by Michael Bazzell

How has Bitcoin changed your security and privacy?

Do you recommend hosting your own data (nextcloud) on the same node as your BTC node? Are there any security risks?

Day 2 of migrating to Nextcloud from iCloud. Feels good taking back control of my data and the UI feels very nice
