  • I work for a somewhat big company with one of the dumbest IT depts ever. On top of not wanting to risk being spied on what I do or not do with my private phone and life, there’s also the fact that their rules for a “safe browsing” are really, REALLY stupid (like blocking access to Siemens website because they use “weird” protocols to transfer files for their devices firmware or their webinars: p2p).

    I find more often than not having to do a hotspot with my phone so I can connect with my computer to simply access work related websites because IT is just too dumb to understand that in a company there should be different network profiles depending on the worker and, instead, they apply a general rule in which they consider the same “threats” for a marketing employee than for an OT (operational technologies) employee.













  • Let me explain you what are those fines for:

    In Italy, soccer is so powerful that commands the government. They can legally block batches of IP adresses just because one of them could be streaming a soccer game.

    It means if your IP is in the batch (even if you are innocent but just happens to share server with that pirate) you are cut from internet. No appeal, the IP is dead and your only choice is get a new one.

    It’s so dumb that they even blocked google once because of it. Cloudshare is fighting that, and I can assure you everyone in Italy, except the usual assholes licking the politician boots are beyond pissed with the so called “piracy shield”.






  • Get a proton mail. The complete plan not only supports custom domains, they also let you create unlimited alias.

    This is the best thing ever. Alias work with custom domains too and they basically give you an endless amount of single-use emails allowing you to sign to each service/website with a different email (that will then be forwarded to your inbox).

    This not only leaves your real email safe and unexposed, but it also lets you organize your inbox more tidily if your aliases have a structure and you use email rules for them (e.g. you can create aliases for your shipping stuff called [website].shipping@[myalias].com and then make a rule including all the adresses .shipping to a specific folder).
