I launched my first data broker audit against MyLife.com, one of the most aggressive "background check" sites out there. By invoking my rights under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MNCDPA), I forced them to remove my profile.
What surprised me was the cascade effect — other brokers who rely on the same data pools also lost their grip on my information.
This experience taught me that targeting even a single broker can ripple across the entire surveillance economy. I now treat data broker audits as digital hygiene, re-checking every few months to keep my footprint clean.

Snowflake: Live Censorship Bypass
Snowflake is a censorship-busting tool built by the Tor Project. It lets people in heavily censored regions slip past firewalls by disguising their connection as a simple video call.
I run a 24/7 Snowflake proxy on my infrastructure. That means when someone in a country where the internet is blocked opens Tor, their encrypted traffic may pass through my server — and out into the open world.
This isn't theory. Every hour, dozens of real connections pass through my node. Each one is a human voice breaking past censorship.
Why do I support it? Because free communication is a right, not a privilege. Running a Snowflake proxy is safe, anonymous, and powerful. The more of us who run them, the harder it is for censors to keep the world in the dark.
I support KAXE/KBXE Northern Community Radio — a member-powered station bringing independent voices,
local music, and community news across northern Minnesota. In a media landscape dominated by algorithms,
stations like this are vital.
If you enjoy these sovereign rituals and goofy glyphs, you can keep the cabin lights glowing by buying me an IPA (my favorite 🍺) or a coffee (for long nights of coding ☕).
