YubiKey 5 Review - Security Essential or Overpriced?
The "Industry Standard" is usually a warning sign. In this video, we are looking at the YubiKey 5 NFC and 5C NFC. These are arguably the best engineered security keys on the planet. They are injection molded, "violence-proof," and they work with just about everything. But for those of us in the Linux and FOSS community, they present a problem. Can you trust a security tool if you aren't allowed to see how it works? DISCLOSURE: Yubico provided the review unit for this video. No money changed hands. No…
Stop Memorizing Passwords (And Stop Using LastPass)
If you can remember your password, it is weak. Your brain defaults to patterns, and patterns are easy to break. It is time to stop using your browser to save credentials and time to dump closed-source managers that rely on "trust me, bro" marketing. We are trading convenience for verification. I am explaining why browser storage is a security nightmare and why I avoid tools like 1Password and LastPass. Instead, we are looking at two of my favorite tools for privacy: Proton Pass for cloud sync, and…
Stop Trusting Google With Your Keys
Convenience is the enemy of sovereignty. If you rely on SMS or cloud-synced apps like Google Authenticator, you are not securing your account. You are just handing your keys to a landlord. I ran a poll and 38% of you are still trusting Big Tech with your 2FA. I'm done with that. I trust physics, not luck. In this video, I break down the four tiers of authentication, explain why I deleted Google Authenticator, and start my review of the top hardware keys on the market. 🌐 CONNECT Website Mastodon…
AI Is Not A Tool. It’s A Weapon.
Silicon Valley wants to automate every part of your life, but that convenience has a dark reality. In this video, I explain why I refuse to use generative “AI.” We look at the exploitation of global workers, the theft of creative work, the environmental impact of data centers, and the loss of human agency. AI is not progress, it is a trap. It is a system built on theft, exploitation, and deceit. Here is the actual cost. ☕ SUPPORT THE CHANNEL Help me keep the terminal open without selling out. If…
Mullvad's Radical Transparency Exposes the Entire VPN Industry
Why is Mullvad the best VPN for privacy in 2026? As they officially retire OpenVPN support (Jan 15, 2026) and migrate to their new Rust-based GotaTun engine, Mullvad continues to stand alone. In this video, we go under the hood of the most transparent VPN on the planet. From their radical 16-digit account system to GotaTun (the future of WireGuard at Mullvad), we explore why this is a privacy utility, not a lifestyle brand. NOTE: This video is NOT sponsored. Mullvad has no affiliate program and does…
The Windows Exodus Has Begun. (And the Data Proves It)
For decades, “The Year of the Linux Desktop” was treated as a tech world punchline. But as we enter 2026, the data shows the laughter has stopped. Between the forced obsolescence of millions of PCs and a corporate pivot toward intrusive, mandatory AI, the rise of Linux is no longer a theory, it is a mass migration. In this video, we analyze the specific catalysts behind this shift: from the Windows 10 End of Life crisis to the "Steam Deck Effect" that finally crumbled the gaming wall. We are…
