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.

Google is becoming evil. It's now less than $300 to protect yourself from that evil. thehelm.com/products/helm-pe…

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.

Good thread on HN on all the challenges of DIY self hosting: news.ycombinator.com/item?id… Don't DIY - get @HelmSecure instead and get all the benefits of self-hosting without the hassle

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."

Devices YOU own know things about you by inferring multiple data points about your usage. That isn't a problem. And it's not the same as when a company exploits the data they have about you in order to increase their bottom line👇

PERMANENT RECORD has just been adapted for young readers and schools. It took a lot of work, but making the systems that will control and influence our children's entire lives understandable to them is something I feel very important. Order link: read.macmillan.com/mcpg/perm…

Running your own mail server is still the only way you know you control your own data. But to do it, you have to do this giant list of things — or you could buy a @HelmSecure which does it all plus secure backup (Their next version is coming soon) bridge.grumpy-troll.org/2020…

Home miners, nodes, and servers like @coinmine, @CasaHODL, and @HelmSecure may eventually converge. You can imagine them being sold with a dedicated internet connection, like an iPhone except server-grade. What other companies are in this category?
A small home server is exactly what I want
