Lets Talk About Backups @TheNewOil
The New Oil
It is a sad fact that as privacy advocates, we sometimes rely on systems that can be unreliable, so backups are a critical part of good security. You don't want to lose important documents, encryption keys, and more, but you also don't want backups that just anybody can access. In this video, I will show you something that rarely gets discussed, but I believe is absolutely crucial: how to make good backups that serve their purpose while remaining secure and private.

The New Oil 2024-02-09 | Privacy and security sometimes seem like a lot of work - and sometimes (not always) it is. Is it worth it? I think so! (I guess I'm kind of biased.)

Nitrokey Review & Unboxing
The New Oil 2023-07-08 | It's time to renew another widely-mentioned-but-rarely-used tool from the privacy community: the Nitrokey. Many mention it, but few seem to have used it or have hands-on experience. So I decided to fix that. Special thanks to Nitrokey for helping provide a key for testing.
