As I continue this journey into retaking my internet data, security and privacy I've done the following
- PC OS : Arch - edit now testing Debian
- Mobile OS: GrapheneOS
- Socials: Mastodon and BlueSky
- Photos: Ente
- Email: Tuta
- Notes: Obsidian
- Storage: Mega
- Office Suite: LibreOffice
- Search: Duck Duck Go
- Browser: Tor / Zen
Can of worms I want to open..... VPNS??? Worth it, pointless, waste of money??!
I'm open to guidance with this journey
Security? Oh, you mean those mythical beasts we tell tales about around the digital campfire. Meanwhile, in the real world, someone's "secure" password vault is a Excel Sheet named "Passwords_FINAL_REALLY_FINAL.xlsx" being emailed around like a halloween candy. Forget your fancy backend architecture and battle-hardened sysadmins and firewalls. The true corporate security strategy is apparently hope and a prayer emoji.
We are still working on The Book of PF, 4th ed.

2024 YR4 Facts
NASA Science Editorial Team
Asteroid 2024 YR4 is a near-Earth asteroid, meaning it is an asteroid in an orbit that brings it into Earth’s region of the solar system. When it was first discovered, it appeared to have a very small chance to impact Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. As observations of 2024 YR4 continued through early 2025, NASA concluded the object poses no significant impact risk to Earth in 2032 and beyond.
New infrared observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have decreased the uncertainty of the asteroid’s size, and 2024 YR4 is now estimated to be 174-220 feet (53-67 meters), about the size of a 15-story building. The previous size estimate of 131-295 feet (40-90 meters) was derived from visible light measurements from ground-based telescopes.
This object is of particular interest for planetary defense for two reasons:
1)
it is large enough to cause localized damage in the unlikely event that it should impact Earth, and
2)
it surpassed the 1% impact probability threshold to warrant formal notification of the object to other U.S. government agencies involved in planetary defense as well as to the Space Mission Planning Advisory Group and to the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs per the International Asteroid Warning Network’s notification charter.
As more observations of the asteroid’s orbit were obtained, its impact probability became better known and enabled planetary defense experts to determine it poses no significant risk to the planet.

Planetary Defense at NASA
In 2016, NASA established the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) to manage the agency's ongoing mission of finding, tracking, and better understanding asteroids and comets that could pose an impact hazard to Earth. Here you can stay informed about the PDCO, NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) Observations Program, and upcoming planetary defense flight missions, including NASA'S NEO Surveyor mission.
Planetary Defenders
NASA’s Planetary Defenders is a gripping documentary that delves into the high-stakes world of asteroid detection and planetary defense by journeying alongside NASA’s dedicated team of scientists, astronomers, and engineers who discover, track, and monitor near-Earth asteroids to safeguard Earth from potential impacts. Available now on NASA+ and other streaming platforms.
How would humanity respond if we discovered an asteroid headed for Earth? NASA’s "Planetary Defenders" is a gripping documentary that delves into the high-stakes world of asteroid detection and planetary defense.
