Your passwords are weak without MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) and 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) because stolen, guessed, or phished passwords alone grant hackers immediate access to your accounts, but MFA/2FA adds a crucial second digital "lock that stops attackers even if they have your password.

Securing the decentralized energy grid is one of the most urgent—and overlooked—cybersecurity challenges of our time.

Wind turbines, solar installations, battery storage systems: thousands of distributed assets, thousands of potential entry points, often with no technical staff on-site.

In this Brand Story, we sit down with Rafael Narezzi, Co-Founder and CEO of Cyber Energia, to explore:
→ Why asset owners are now personally liable under regulations like NIS 2.0
→ How a single cyber incident could cost a 98MW wind site $1.9 million in just one week
→ Why the industry built infrastructure at the speed of capital, not security maturity
→ How Cyber Energia translates technical risk into the financial language executives need

Your response proves my point. Linux has documentation whether you like the quality of it or not.

A year ago, I published my opinion on why Europe needs to have its own social media platforms and build strong digital ecosystem.

With recent issues such as Trump's demands to annex Greenland, X's growing role in disinformation campaigns and targeting Europeans with shadow bans, it is necessary to remind that the European Union, without its own social media platforms and the whole digital ecosystem, cannot be fully sovereign.

For Europe, it is not too late to build its own digital ecosystem, spanning from social media networks to AI, storage and productivity software. In fact, it is something that has to be done and there are many European companies, NGOs and communities working to make it happen.

Year after, my strong recommendation for every European organization, company and public institution is to embrace European-made solutions. If we take a look at solutions made in Europe, we can see that Europeans are leading the world in terms of building federated networks, secure, encrypted and privacy-oriented solutions for consumers, businesses and governments.

Europe don't need to build it from scratch as there are solutions developed here, in Europe. What Europe needs is to embrace them at all levels: from governments to households. https://mediascope.group/europe-needs-its-own-social-media-platforms-to-safeguard-sovereignty/

Terminal Tilt is exactly 58 subscribers away from the 1K milestone and monetization.

In case you are new to my channel, welcome! As a disabled queer creator, I know how often our voices are drowned out by corporate "ai" sludge. Terminal Tilt is a space where I can speak authentically, fight for digital sovereignty, and show that there is a place for us in the technical world.

I started it because I like to watch YouTube and I often search for Linux videos. I find it infuriating that 90% of the videos have "ai" generated voices, graphics, and scripts. I want to learn new things, not have unoriginal ideas regurgitated to me by bots. Terminal Tilt is a strictly Non-AI channel focused on ethical computing, promoting #FOSS, and providing a direct alternative to the Big Tech surveillance machine. I respect your time and your sovereignty. Lets build a community together!

If you believe in a web where the user is in control and their privacy respected, and our technology does not have to destroy the planet, help me cross the finish line today.

I have some great stuff in the pipeline, such as reviews for security hardware, quick looks and installations of GNU/Linux distributions , and discussions on the state of computing.

I am also improving quickly. Every video has been a learning experience and I am very open to constructive criticism.

My newest video from earlier today: 5 Extensions for Real Digital Independence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA9FjlZMJBQ

My most popular video (90k+ views): The Windows Exodus Has Begun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLzdTgCXyRU

I also post videos to PeerTube here: https://gnulinux.tube/c/terminaltilt/videos

Every boost helps us show that independent, human created tech content has a place in 2026.

The very thing that's kept me going all these years, the subject that I find to be inexhaustible and a source of endless surprises and astonishments, something I can talk about for days at a stretch probably...it's not popular. It's been very badly taught as a rule, especially at the college level where I've found a great amount of simmering hostility to the idea that #chemistry belongs to anyone but a select few.

Chemistry classes are taught with the idea of scaring everyone away except a select few willing to eat a ton of shit, to get 'em ready for the predatory culture of elite academia, profit-seeking #research, and corporate #technology.

Ads in ChatGPT are another example of OpenAI losing ground.

This is another sign that OpenAI's management is well aware that its solutions, including ChatGPT subscriptions, are unable to curb excessive spending.

American companies are generally unable to win the AI race against Europe and China.

European and Chinese companies are creating solutions focused on making a real impact in areas such as productivity, industry, and research and development, while placing a strong emphasis on sovereignty and openness.

Technology and power are inextricably linked — a fact that the U.S. government has known since the 1980s. Canadian journalist @parismarx writes about how now, more than ever, Canada needs to reduce its dependence on the U.S. when it comes to tech, and pursue true digital sovereignty. "We have an opportunity to think bigger and to challenge those fundamental assumptions that were crafted in the 1990s to convince us digital technology had to be left to the private sector," he writes.

Are your headphones and speakers vulnerable to hacking? If your audio accessories use Google's Fast Pair protocol, you may need a patch to avoid hackers eavesdropping on your calls and surroundings, hijacking your devices and playing their own audio through them, or even stalking you.

At Vivaldi we continue to make choices that are different from our competitors. We have chosen to not integrate AI or crypto, but instead we integrate a wealth of other features, based on the wishes of our users.

We are a European company with most of the team based in Norway and Iceland, a few around Europe and a couple in the US.

Our servers are based in Iceland.

If you want to get away from Big Tech, maybe give us a try? If you are already using Vivaldi, maybe introduce your friends?

Have a nice day!

The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) thinking. Tesla is seated in a dimly lit study or laboratory. He wears a dark, tailored suit, complete with a high-collared white shirt and a neatly tied bowtie, reflecting his elegant style. His slender frame and sharp features are illuminated by soft, focused light, emphasizing his high cheekbones, deep-set eyes, and slightly furrowed brow.
