I've been going out of my way to not read
permaculture books lately. I ran across this author and read a few of his books. Now I'm, seemingly properly, paranoid and stuff; Thanks Cory Doctorow.
His books can be found here:
http://craphound.com/?cat=5 Little Brother, Homeland, and Lawful Interception all follow a young fellow by the name of Marcus Yallow. They are pretty fun and also deal with a lot of technology that is currently out in the world.
I wish kids would read this instead of Hunger
Games...
They mention TOR (The onion router) as a way to anonymize your internet browsing. While it's not a perfect system (if your not using HTTPS people can still snoop on you.) it is kinda fun to play around with. I like to use it at my work to test our work websites. It's like an instant VPN to outside computers from inside my network.
Here is is Ted Talk:
(I'm not sure what a Bicky is, but I kind want to eat one.)
On another topic, I was looking for an alternate to paying for dropbox (I really like dropbox, they are super secure and provide an awesome service.)
and I ran across BitTorrent Sync. This is basically dropbox but you provide the cloud.
I've set this up on a work computer, home computer, and a raspberry pi with an external USB Hard drive. It really seems to work well.
Basically, you need to have a couple computer for this to work properly, but The raspberry pi option could easily give you a 500GB-1TB "personal cloud storage" for around $100.
