DNS4EU: a private, safe, and independent European DNS resolver

Recently I switched my DNS Resolver to one of the European public DNS resolvers | European Alternatives mainly for privacy reasons after reading Cloudflare’s blog post about analytics in their free-tiers.

But I missed the malware protection. But today I just got aware of DNS4EU For Public!

DNS4EU is an initiative by the European Commission that aims to offer an alternative to the public DNS resolvers currently dominating the market.

It offers 5 different flavours:

Unfiltered resolution
Protective resolution: Blocks access to known malicious and fraudulent websites
Protective Resolution With Child Protection
Protective Resolution Ad-blocking
Protective Resolution With Child Protection & Ad-blocking

And also with some step-by-step guidelines for configuring DNS settings on a variety of platforms.

Just cool 🙂

How to delete all content from LinkedIn

As I’ve written earlier, I’m going more and more away from LinkedIn (like here and here). During my #unplugTrump activity, I decided that I want to go a step further and remove all my content (posts, answers, likes) from LinkedIn. On Mastodon, I have auto-delete activated already for various reasons. Now I wanted to clean up LinkedIn, too!

Myown #UnplugTrump to more digital sovereignty

If you’ve been following my blog, you know that I’m gradually moving away from “classical” Big Tech social media, focusing more on Mastodon and my own homepage.

On Mastodon, I came across Elena Rossini and followed her journey toward greater digital sovereignty. Inspired by her example, I decided to give up my YouTube channel in favor of a self-hosted PeerTube instance.
