Welcome to the Blog
Well, here we are. I've finally added a blog section to ThirdDegreeMedia. Not sure what took me so long, but here's the thing about sovereign nodes - we do things when we're ready, not when the algorithm demands it.
What to Expect
This isn't going to be your typical tech blog with SEO-optimized content and carefully scheduled posts. This is more like... digital campfire stories from someone who codes in the woods and thinks a lot about privacy.
You might find:
- Random tech thoughts - Whatever I'm working on or thinking about
- Privacy tool reviews - Real-world testing of privacy and security tools
- Off-grid tech setups - How to maintain digital sovereignty while living free
- Absurd lore - Because life is weird and technology should reflect that
- Digital minimalism - Less is more, especially when it comes to surveillance
The Anti-Blog Approach
No comments section (they're usually toxic anyway). No newsletter signup (your inbox has enough spam). No social media integration (we've covered why that's problematic). No analytics tracking you (obviously).
Just words, thoughts, and the occasional useful guide. If you like something, bookmark it. If you want to respond, send me an email or find me on Signal. That's how humans used to communicate before everything became a "platform."
Sovereign Publishing
This blog runs on the same principles as the rest of ThirdDegreeMedia - no tracking, no external dependencies we don't control, no compromises with surveillance capitalism. It's just HTML, CSS, and the occasional bit of JavaScript when absolutely necessary.
Posts will happen when they happen. Quality over quantity. Authenticity over engagement metrics.
Welcome to the blog. Let's see where this goes.
