We rely on Storj for decentralised storage, to store and serve our media files. Additionally, we trust Proton to secure our private email communications.

The following are some of the tools & services that we use for this website.

Cloudflare – web security, DNS, CDN
Hetzner – 100% wind & hydropower cloud hosting in EU
Storj – carbon neutral decentralised web3 cloud storage
Google Cloud Storage – cloud storage (depreciating)
Proton – private & secure email, VPN, password manager, cloud storage
Anyconv – free online file conversion
TinyJPG – free online image file compression
Independent Analytics – privacy-friendly web stats
ManageWP – remote backups
FIFU – featured image from URL
1.1.1.1 – private DNS resolver
Brave – private & secure web browser

Degoogle. In the process of moving to alternative services that are decentralised and privacy-friendly. Removed: Google Analytics, Google Search Console.

Greening. We use eco-friendly services whenever feasible.

Missing images. There are lots of missing images due to a poorly written plugin. The plugin had since been removed but URL for images are all messed up. Will need to manually update every single image on every single post. It will be a long drawn out process likely to take months. Your patience is very much appreciated.

Full disclosure. We may earn a small commission on your purchases for some of the links provided above. This helps us continue to bring you valuable content and resources.
