  • All weather apps need your location, well from your GPS data or entering it manually and this is always an security hole, even if the app don’t share it. If you want to use it, is preferable an FOSS app from F-Droid than one from Google Play, but the best apps are from the official meterologic agency of your country (in Spain AEMET), these are the most accurate and reliables and not driven by commercial interests, other apps anyway use their info from these agencies.


  • Don’t use localization or weather apps, don’t use soft or services from big (US) corporations, don’t use discount or banking apps in your mobile, use a good VPN/SPN or Snowflake, use Pi-Hole or better Portmaster on desktop, InVizible Pro on Mobile, don’t store sensible data on your Mobile…the most important, use your common sense, PEBCAK







  • Not the first time that, with all my privacy measures on, instead of an page, I see the page from Cloudflare analyzing if I am a bot, before it let me access the page I wanted. Invisible in the web is only a bad joke. Anybody is visible in the moment he goes online, irrelevant if he use VPN, TOR or whatever, this times have passed. Believing it is as hilarious as in the Movie Independence day infecting with an Virus an Alien Mothership, using an crappy Laptop (I have laughed a lot with this scene).









  • US want to ban TikTok, because it’s a Chinese company, it has nothing to do with privacy, while in the EU a service must fullfit the GDPR to be allowed to offer their service in the EU and DeepSeek, among others, don’t. This has a lot to do with the privacy rights in the EU, those which in the USA don’t exist, not with censorship. Privacy is a basic right in the EU and not even the Police can access sensible personal data or track your activity without an court order, less aprivate company for advertising reasons or for training their AIs. But yes, right wing politicians in Germany want to change this, but this isn’t so easy in a working Democracy where it need to be approved with a majorit in th Bundestag.
