So interesting the evolution in computing over the past 24hrs… went from an @Apple M1 Mini to @HelmSecure — these are not the same, but you’d be surprised at how one can see them both as two clear and distinct roads for computing No more waiting for the future

Snowden was right. All centralized services will be used to implement turnkey tyranny. And we need local compute anyway for crypto. That's why I put a bit into thehelm.com, which brings your mail back to your home. Only you open these messages.

You deserve a secure and private online life. One where nobody can read your email or files except you. The cloud is just other people’s computers. This is why @giri_sreenivas created Helm. youtu.be/3csq0h59wuE

Over the past few years, we've taken Helm from concept to prototype to product. It's a real, tangible personal server that (literally) lives where you do. It’s something you can see, touch, and turn on and off — and it’s something only you can access.

We designed Helm so that we know as little about you as possible . The only info we want or know is what it takes to fulfill an online order and provide customer support. No more retargeting, insecure information, or fear of getting caught in the next big data breach.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what the FBI asked Apple for... And if a "golden key" exists, by definition that means there must be a backdoor. It doesn't really matter who possesses it.

Replying to @ericgeller
Wray at FBI oversight hearing: "We're not going to have a key. We're not asking for a backdoor [in encryption]. That's a myth, an urban legend, that has been directed our way." DOJ/FBI officials love focusing on the semantics here. It's driven security experts mad for years.

Ever wonder why Helm was created? Here is an explanation from our founder: "We started off with the belief that privacy is a core fundamental right. People should have an easy way to own their data to have the privacy we all need and deserve." ...and the rest is history.

Highlights on privacy & tech w @giri_sreenivas of @HelmSecure: 1- Privacy as a fundamental human right: "People should have an easy way to own their data. We got started with email...We've since added file share, a VPN service, and the ability to run whatever service one wants."
