Perkeep is your personal storage system for life.

perkeep.org

Things Perkeep believes:

  • Your data is entirely under your control

  • Open Source

  • Paranoid about privacy, everything private by default

  • No SPOF: don't rely on any single party (including yourself)

  • Your data should be alive in 80 years, especially if you are

While Perkeep can store files like a traditional filesystem (think: “directories”, “files”, “filenames”), it’s specialized in storing higher-level objects, which can represent anything. (photos, likes, tweets, measurements etc)

How to Live | Derek Sivers

sive.rs/h

Want to read and reflect somewhere on every chapter one day...
How to remember that i want it?

27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion. Many books believe they know how you should live. But each book disagrees with the next. In “How to Live”, each chapter believes it knows how you should live. And each chapter disagrees with the next.

precondition.github.io/home-row-mods

What are home row mods? What is a mod-tap? What settings do you need to use? What are the alternatives? And more in this article...

bouncepaw:

The creepy sound of online trackers

axbom.com/the-creepy-sound-of-online-trackers

I can't get the noise out of my head. People who watch the video express awe and disgust. And that is why Dutch software developer Bert Hubert's experiment is so powerful. It doesn't really uncover something that we shouldn't already know. Something we often choose to ignore. The brilliance is

Why you need a "WTF Notebook"

www.simplermachines.com/why-you-need-a-wtf-notebook
