Sometimes I get frustrated that I grew up in a country that doesn't use the Cyrillic alphabet. Because I think people who were born in countries like Russia, Kazakhstan, Serbia, etc., have it better when it comes to languages. After all, they use the Cyrillic alphabet on a daily basis and, at the same time, the Latin alphabet because they usually have to learn English, and the internet is also mostly in the Latin alphabet. And becouse of that, they're likely fluent in both. But people born somewhere in the west will probably only be able to use the Latin alphabet for the rest of their lives. Because why would they need any other? It's a bit like being born in an English speaking country. You have it easier because the whole world mostly uses English to communicate with each other and you know it perfectly after all. But because of that, you don't know anything else, since everyone speaks that language to some extent anyway. You have a harder time learning other languages because English has such simple grammar that switching to something more difficult requires more effort than it does for someone who starts with that more difficult language by default and then moves on to English, which is much simpler. As for this alphabet, back in Poland during the communist era, you had to know at least a little Russian but somehow I don't see many Poles being able to even read printed Cyrillic. I think that being able to use several different writing systems is a big advantage when it comes to languages. And it seems to me that people who were born in a country where at least two writing systems are used regularly and at least two languages are spoken have it the easiest.

I must say that all linux music players are just shitty lol. I've tested a lot of them, but for some reason none of them has an option to display an entire music folder along with its subfolders and subfolders of subfolders. Instead, it lists all the songs, and everything is messed up, and I have no intention of wading through 1000 songs just to find a specific one. This makes me want to write my own music player. The problem is I don't know how to program. But maybe this is just the right project for me to start with

I keep thinking about what kind of security mistakes I've made. I don't know if they're serious or not, but even the fact that I logged into some website from my home IP address makes me paranoid. After all, I'm not doing anything suspicious or illegal, so why am I afraid? Actually, I don't have anything to hide, but I still feel the need to protect my privacy as much as I can. Just about a year ago I wasn't thinking about this all the time, and I wasn't this paranoid. The fact I'm writing about myself now is also a security mistake. Lately, I feel like everything is so disorganized

I've been thinking about buying a VPS and hosting my site on Tor. Is that a good idea? Then I'd have to take care of the site's security myself and watch out for attacks. When I have a site on Neocities, it's like I don't have to worry about that because Neocities takes care of protecting itself against attacks. The advantage would be that I'd have everything under my control, but at the same time, that would be a disadvantage because if I did something wrong, everything would come crashing down like dominoes.

I've noticed recently that it's easy to spot Poles online because they sometimes write 'XD,' 'xD,' and 'XDDDDD' when they're writing in English. 'XD' isn't that popular anymore, and honestly, aside from Poles, I don't think many people use it anymore. I recently saw someone in an OPSEC group writing about OPSEC and using 'XDDD'. They basically gave themselves away XD

I guess I have to accept that if I have my own website and something like a blog, I can't maintain a good opsec. After all, a blog is all about writing about yourself and what's going on around you. And to maintain good opsec, you're not supposed to do that!! Unfortunately, if I didn't do that, there wouldn't really be much point in having my own website. Other things, like drawing comics, are also really just a way of saying a little bit about myself. After all, artistic work can say a lot about the artist.

GrapheneOS is only supported on Google Pixel devices and I find it difficult to believe that Google has no influence over or interest in people using its hardware specifically to avoid Google's own data collection practices. That seems somewhat counterintuitive to me. I often wonder why Google hasn't locked down the bootloaders on its devices yet, since many other companies did so a long time ago. If Google hasn't done anything to make installing third-party operating systems more difficult, could it be because there are other ways for Google to maintain access to user data? For example, is it possible that there are hidden backdoors in the hardware or firmware? I wonder

ProtonMail used to criticize other services (such as Google and Microsoft) for creating ecosystems (and not being pivate ofc). Recently, I've noticed that they themselves have started to become an ecosystem by launching new services such as ProtonCalendar, ProtonPass, ProtonDrive, ProtonWallet, ProtonAuthenticator, ProtonMeet, and of course AI. It's a great and ironic example of a company starting to do exactly what it used to criticize so harshly. Promoting with claims like "privacy" or "security" is pointless since the platform begins to build this ecosystem and all its services become increasingly centralized, they become less and less private.

I've been listening to this song a lot lately. I really like it. But honestly, sometimes I feel a little embarrassed that I don't know much about Polish music, even though I'm from this country. But sometimes certain Polish songs really boost my ego, knowing that I come from a country where such great songs were created :) Also it makes me a little sad that many people don't get the chance to discover these songs simply because they aren't popular abroad. Maybe I should create webpage featuring various Polish songs so that people from other countries who aren't familiar with them can discover them?

I found someones laptop in trash and drive was not encrypted and there were logins and passwords on it. Some are still active and look literally like this:password1234, comamtunapisac, qwerty. In polish 'comamtunapisac' means 'whatdoiwritehere'. There were also photos of that person from their vacation in Portugal with their friends. You could basically figure out their whole life from that data. There was even a login and password for their bank account. Good thing I'm not the kind of person who would steal someone's data or money lol
