Your Weekly Privacy & Security Wins ๐Ÿ† (Week 51 - Apr 18 2025)

  • Started experimenting with lightweight, CPU-friendly LLMs on VPS hardware. The performance gap is real, but they handle lighter tasks well. Planning to explore N8N automation โ€” all self-hosted and fully under my control.
  • Tested the Orion browser on iOS. It has some strong features and might give Brave a run for its money. Keeping an eye on their upcoming Linux version, though itโ€™s likely a year out.
  • Enabled 2FA on six more accounts that didnโ€™t have it โ€” small effort, big security gain.
  • Spun up a second Monero node to strengthen network decentralization and support the community.
  • Helped a friend move from no password manager to Vaultwarden, and from Chrome to the Mullvad browser โ€” major upgrades all around. Honestly - this is my biggest win; super stoked for them.
