VPN to your home network with Wireguard

In the last two blogs, I talked about how I installed pihole and unbound. This will be third part in the series, if I could call it that. This one solely focuses on Wireguard. I set it up so I can access our homelab and get the benefits of pihole

I installed Unbound. Bye, Cloudflare

In this blog, I will be talking about how to install Unbound. Like my previous blog, the audience of this entry is myself. So, consider this more as a documentation than a tutorial. Unbound is a recursive DNS resolver. It is imperative to first understand what a DNS is before

I installed pihole

Describing my 2024 as merely eventful would be a disservice to it. It’s the year I decided to walk my talk on self-hosting. And, of course, I started with Pihole and Unbound. This blog is less of a tutorial and more of documentation for myself. I am this blog’

Academia's reliance on Google scholar

Google Scholar bears the remnants of the old search, far away from the fast-paced enshittification.

Meta has just released its human rights report for 2023, which covers the whole of 2023 from 1 January to 31 December inclusively. The report is structured into a few subchapters, including sections on ‘AI’, risk management, issues, stakeholder engagement, transparency and remedy and something they called ‘looking forward’. As

Rethinking digital rights: from "me" to "we"

In an era dominated by digital interactions and transformations, the discourse around digital rights has increasingly become steeped in ideologies anchored on the tenets of individualism. We have been told over and over again that they were designed that way to champion 'personal freedoms'. Yet, recent events like

My intervention at the ‘multistakeholder’ information session on the Global Digital Compact at the UN

Below is the speech I delivered on behalf of Manushya Foundation during the United Nations’ so-called multistakeholder information session on the GDC: We appreciate the opportunity to speak as we critically evaluate the third and latest revision of the Global Digital Compact.
