About

Website

This website was created as a way to help our family and friends become more digitally secure. It chronicles the steps we've taken to lock down our family's personal data and who has access to it. We specify the tools, applications, and services that we've determined work best for us, as well as our personal justification for why we've made these choices. However, there will never be a one size fits all approach. You have to do your own risk assessment and determine where your comfort level lies. There must always be a balance between security and convenience.

Us

Our family includes two adults, one boy, one cat, and one dog. One of the adults is a tech-saavy gamer and the other is a meditating yogi. Between the two of us, we feel like the spectrum of technical understanding is represented relatively well. If you know how to use a computer and are willing to have some patience, we feel confident that you can stumble through setting up everything we talk about on this site.
