Who I Am

I'm a fan. That's it. I watched PewDiePie's tech videos — the Linux one, the de-Google one, the "I Fixed YouTube!" one — and decided to actually do the stuff he talked about. I'm logging it all and working through it as I go.

I'm not a cybersecurity expert. I'm not a Linux veteran. I'm someone who was tired of feeling like a product and decided to do something about it. This site is my attempt to organize everything into one place so you don't have to piece it together yourself.

Why This Exists

In March 2026, PewDiePie published "I Fixed YouTube!" and coined the term "tech fencing" — the practice of building barriers between yourself and the technology designed to exploit your attention and data.

The video resonated. People wanted to do it. But the information was spread across multiple videos, with specific tool names dropped casually and setup details easy to miss if you weren't paying attention.

This site gathers all of that into one place. Every recommendation is sourced from PewDiePie's videos with citations and timestamps. Every guide includes honest downsides. Every page is written for someone who might be doing this for the first time.

What I Believe

• Privacy is a default, not a stance. You don't need a reason to not want strangers reading your messages. It's not about having something to hide — it's about having something that's yours.
• Progress over perfection. Switching your browser is better than doing nothing. You don't need to install Linux on day one.
• Honesty over evangelism. If something sucks, I say so. If PewDiePie still uses Google Maps, I mention it. I'm not here to sell you on a lifestyle — I'm here to give you information.
• Learning is the point. I'm still figuring this out. Every guide is written by someone who recently went through the same process. If I got something wrong, that's a feature — it means I'm still learning.
