Coding with Antigravity or Claude Code surely is time efficient...
However, for me it isn't fun at all, like coding by myself.
Have an idea, deploy it, try, fail, try, succeed, .........

This frustration - satisfying iteration is done entirely by the LLM. I feel sad.

2026-03-22T06:23:08Z

In 1993, the **Cypherpunk Manifesto** warned: *“We cannot expect corporations or governments to grant us privacy.”*

Today, that warning is our reality. We’ve moved from "using the cloud" to being managed by it.

**The current battlefronts:**
1. **OS-Level IDs:** With eIDAS 2.0 and new "Age Assurance" laws (CA, UK, AU), your identity is being baked into the kernel. Your phone isn't a tool; it's a digital leash that "broadcasts" your status to every app you open.
2. **Cloud Feudalism:** We traded sovereignty for convenience. Now, "Software as a Service" means "Surveillance as a Service," where your data is scanned for "compliance" before you even hit save.
3. **The End of Anonymity:** When the operating system itself requires a government-linked handshake to function, the "General Purpose Computer" is dead.

**The Cypherpunk Response:**
We don't ask for permission. We write code.

**Nostr** is the modern realization of this manifesto. It replaces centralized gatekeepers with a protocol. It doesn't care about your "verified age" or your government ID—only your keys.

Privacy is a private act. Stop waiting for a "Privacy Policy" to save you and start using tools that don't need one.

Big Tech is a giant honeypot for hackers and rogue employees. 🍯🕵️‍♂️

Think about it: Google Photos knows your face, your kids' faces, and your daily routines. If a malicious insider or a high-level hacker gets access, they don't just have "data"—they have the blueprint to scam you, track you, or ruin your life.

I’m done being a target. 💀

**Immich** is now running on my Digital Fortress. 🏰⚡️

- **Local AI**: Facial recognition stays in my house. No cloud, no "trusted" third parties, no spying. 🧠🚫

- **2TB of Freedom**: My history, my hardware, my rules.

- **Ninja Backups**: 3-2-1 strategy active. Live data + Physical 1TB mirror + Geographic redundancy (off-site storage). 🌍🛡️

✅ AdGuard Home (DNS)
✅ Vaultwarden (Passwords)
✅ Syncthing (Files)
✅ Bitcoin/LND (Bank)
✅ Immich (Memories)
✅ GPG/Rsync (Resilience)

For 40 years Notepad was the simplest tool on Windows. No internet connection. No fancy features. No way for hackers to get in. People used it specifically because it was basic, just a place to write text without any complexity getting in the way.
Then Microsoft decided it needed AI. To make Copilot work, Notepad now connects to the internet. That connection opened a door that hackers can walk through. If you open the wrong file and click the wrong link, someone can take control of your computer.

🏔️ Discover the Marvellous "Bus de Refos" & Monte Grappa

If you are looking for a hike that perfectly blends wild nature with the echoes of history, this route starting from Valle San Liberale (near Pieve del Grappa) is a must.

🕳️ The Marvel: Bus de Refos
The "Bus de Refos" (which in local dialect means "Hole of the Breath" or referring to the gushing water) is a majestic karst cave and natural gorge. It serves as the primary source of the Lastego stream.

The Sight: It’s an immense, dark rocky opening in the mountainside.

The Magic: During the spring thaw or after heavy rainfall, the cave transforms into a spectacular waterfall as water gushes out of its "mouth" with incredible power. In drier periods, you can walk right up to its entrance to feel the cool, damp breath of the mountain.

🥾 The Hike: History on the Rocks
The trail typically follows CAI path 153, often combined into a loop with the famous Sentiero delle Meatte (Paths 151 and 152).

WWI History: You’ll walk along historic mule tracks and through tunnels carved into the rock by soldiers during the Great War. These paths were once vital supply lines and are now panoramic balconies.

The Views: On clear days, the view is breathtaking. You can see the entire Venetian plain stretching out beneath you, the winding Piave river, and even the Venice Lagoon shimmering on the horizon.

Difficulty: The detour to the Bus de Refos itself is a short and easy 20-minute walk from the parking area at San Liberale, making it accessible for families. However, the full loop up to the ridges (Meatte) is a moderate trek for those who want a full day of adventure.

💡 Pro Tip: Visit in late spring to see the wildflowers in bloom and witness the "Bus" at its most active with gushing water.

It’s a brutal reminder of the state of "ownership" in 2026. You pay for the device, you hold the atoms, but the manufacturer owns the logic. We aren't owners; we are just tenants of a supervised license.

This is why Freedom Tech and Open Source matter. It’s not about tinkering; it’s about the right to own the tools we use to navigate the world. If we don't own our hardware, our hardware owns us.

In Praise of Brevity: Why Speaking Less (and Better) is a ...

In Praise of Brevity: Why Speaking Less (and Better) is a Necessary Revolution

In a professional setting, oral communication is often the most inefficient and risky method for exchanging information. We worship “soft skills,” but we rarely calculate the exorbitant cost of imprecision.

We rely on the spoken word every day, yet we overlook its intrinsic flaws.

The Flaws of the Spoken Word
Lossy Data Compression:
1. Speakers filter complex thoughts through an increasingly shrinking vocabulary. Listeners then “decompress” that signal through their own biases and recent experiences. The message received is almost always a corrupted version of the one sent.
2. Verbal Inflation (Verbosity): Many use more words than necessary, generating noise and ambiguity. Worse, they repeat the same concept in different ways, creating contradictions and wasting the time of those who already understood. It’s not just inefficiency; it’s a lack of respect for others’ intelligence and time.
3. Lack of Persistence: Conversations are ephemeral. A verbal agreement can be easily forgotten, misrepresented, or disputed, leading to the dreaded “but I thought you said...”

The Alternatives: Formal Languages for High Fidelity

If oral communication is a blunt instrument, formal languages are the scalpel. They are designed for precision and high fidelity.

1. Written Language
Asynchronous, allowing for meticulous thought construction and revision. It creates a permanent, verifiable record, demanding clarity from the author and reducing ambiguity for the reader.
2. Mathematics
E = mc^2 is an immutable truth, understood without ambiguity in every language. There is no margin for interpretation.
3. Programming Languages
So precise they can be executed by a machine. They impose absolute logical consistency.
This JavaScript is an unequivocal contract.

if (user.isLoggedIn) {
grantAccess()
}

Context Matters
Of course, oral communication has its place. Immediacy is powerful for brainstorming or building personal rapport, where the “emotional bandwidth”—tone and body language—is an asset, not a defect.

But for critical information—project requirements, strategic decisions, technical specs, agreements, and promises—we must be more rigorous.

Relying on a chat for a vital task is like using a hammer to drive a screw. It might work, but the result is crude, unreliable, and unprofessional.

Final Thought
I think we all need to learn to communicate with the precision of a programmer, the clarity of a mathematician, and the persistence of a writer.
What do you think? Is verbosity the silent killer of productivity in your workplace? Leave a comment below.

2026-01-18T20:12:46Z

In 2026, the question is no longer "Who do you trust?" but "What can you verify yourself?" 🛡️🏦

My "Digital Fortress" has reached full maturity. What started as a hardware recovery experiment on a 2017 Acer laptop is now a mission control for digital sovereignty. 🚀

But the real lesson of this journey isn't about hardware. It’s about the power of Open Source.
Everything I’ve built exists thanks to open, transparent, and verifiable code. It’s the result of thousands of people sharing their knowledge for the benefit of everyone.

This is the polar opposite of the Big Tech model. While corporations design systems to decide what we see or do, Open Source gives us the tools to become the sole owners of our digital lives.

As a famous cypherpunk saying goes: "If you want to change the world, don't protest. Write code!"

Here are the pillars of the Fortress, built on transparency:
✅ Operating System (Debian 12): I stripped away the GUI (GNOME) and went Headless. By removing telemetry and commercial bloat, I reclaimed 1.5GB of RAM and dropped CPU load from 21% to 0.0%. The laptop is now a pure server: cool (39°C), silent, and efficient.
✅ Sovereign Banking (Bitcoin Core & LND): My node has crossed 70% synchronization. I’m currently validating 2024 blocks, mathematically verifying every transaction via Tor. ⛓️‍💥
✅ Privacy Layer (AdGuard & Vaultwarden): I manage my own DNS and passwords in a closed circuit. Thanks to Open Source, my home is tracker-proof, and my keys no longer live on Silicon Valley servers—they reside in an encrypted database on my own 2TB drive.
✅ Control Tower (RTL via Docker): I manage Lightning liquidity with a professional dashboard (Ride The Lightning), accessed securely through a Tailscale tunnel. Zero exposed ports, zero compromises.

The Role of AI in this Ecosystem 🤖🤝
During this process, I’ve had a valuable ally: my AI (Google Gemini-CLI) in "Driver" mode. Irony at its best: I used a Big Tech LLM to help me dismantle my dependence on Big Tech. 😅

Digital sovereignty can’t be bought in a corporate store. It is built by studying, learning, and choosing software that respects the user. Preferably Open Source.

2026 begins with a certainty: the keys to my world are finally, and exclusively, in my hands. 🗝️🛡️

Holidays are over, but the mission has just begun. 🏰⚡️
While others were resting, I was busy getting my hands dirty—studying, learning, and building my own "Invisible" infrastructure on a recycled 2017 Acer laptop. True digital independence is a skill you cannot delegate; otherwise, you'll always choose convenience over freedom. 🧠📚

Here is the progress report on my stealth stack:

🔐 Identity & Encryption (PGP): I’ve taken control of my PGP Key Pair. Strategic advantage? Google Drive is now just "dumb storage." Sensitive docs are encrypted locally before upload. Privacy now depends on math, not corporate promises.

👻 Privacy Layer & Stealth Stack: Consolidated a local ecosystem to kill tracking and secure metadata:
AdGuard Home: Network-wide DNS filtering. dnsleaktest.com confirms my house now communicates exclusively with 2 encrypted/secure DNS servers. My ISP is officially blind.
Vaultwarden: Sovereign management of passwords and WebAuthn Passkeys.
Syncthing: P2P cloud syncing all my devices without central servers.

⛓️‍💥 Financial Sovereignty: With a new 2TB SSD installed, I’m finally in the game. Currently at 15% of the Bitcoin blockchain sync. Once finished, I’ll fire up the Lightning node and look into setting up a WatchTower.

🤖 The AI Mentor: Ironically, I made heavy use of Google Gemini—a centralized and "noisy" LLM 😅. However, thanks to deep learning, I was able to quickly source info on what I was putting "under the hood." I used AI as a driver to validate my hypotheses on the robustness and invisibility of the solutions I was deploying. 🤝

The lesson from these holidays? Stop being a passive user and start being an owner. The road to 100% is long, but the view is beautiful.

Goal for 2026: Dive even deeper. 🚪🚫

2) Tali ASIC (Ant miner) contengono backdoor che permettono lo spegnimento remoto
3) Uno spegnimento simultaneo di n kWh può causare un eccesso di energia elettrica nella rete, quindi un sovraccarico, quindi un blackout
4) C'è una mining farm vicina ad una importante base militare in Wyoming, stracolma di dispositivi Bitmain
5) Molto dei dispositivi Bitmain in Wyoming sono di proprietà della ABTC Corporation, fondata da 2 figli di Trump
6) ABTC ha comprato 314mln$ di dispositivi da Bitmain in agosto 2025, usando Bitcoin come collaterale

The Lupa del Lagorai is located at 1,600 meters above sea level, in the hamlet of Vetriolo (municipality of Levico Terme, the highest spa town in Europe). Standing 6 meters tall and made from approximately 2,000 pieces of scrap wood, it is a work by sculptor Marco Martalar.

A beautiful trek through the areas devastated by Storm Vaia. The effects of the storm are still visible, but so is the impressive restoration work carried out by the local population.

2025-12-26T19:20:53Z

Is digital privacy a luxury? No, it is an architectural choice.

It’s Boxing Day (Santo Stefano) and, being unable to sit idle, I decided to take back my digital keys. 🗝️

It all started with a paradox: I wanted to change my Wi-Fi password, but I was "held hostage" by my solar panel inverter (no password, no local access, only proprietary cloud).

That’s when I decided I had to become the sole master of my information again. I already had a hunch, but there it is.

Many think that to protect oneself, you have to become a digital troglodyte. Error. The problem isn’t technology, but our competence and the control of the servers on which the data runs.
Investing time in privacy is a civil act.

Because privacy is freedom, and freedom implies individual responsibility. To be free means to stop delegating our identity to third parties.

As a tech enthusiast, I started building my "Digital Fortress" on Debian.

🎯 Why start with DNS, Cloud, and Payments?
Because these are the three faucets from which our most intimate data flows: where we go (DNS), who we are (Cloud), and how we live (Payments).

Here is my plan:
🛡️ Block 1: Sovereignty (Data & Finance)
I turned an old laptop into a home server:
• AdGuard Home (DNS): Browsing filtered at the root and encrypted queries, invisible to the ISP.
• Syncthing (Cloud): P2P synchronization of photos and documents. Files remain under my physical control.
• Bitcoin & LND (Next step): Lightning node for instant and private payments without intermediaries (now I just need to find someone to pay me in Satoshi! 😅).
💰 Cost: ~€250 (Hardware + 2TB SSD). An investment that eliminates subscriptions and surveillance. In reality, I recycled an old laptop that works excellently with Linux Debian.

🧠 Block 2: Private AI (The future with Ollama)
The goal is cognitive independence: running LLMs locally so as not to send thoughts and code to Silicon Valley.
⚠️ Note: This is where things get serious. You need computing power (GPU/RAM). The hardware investment will be significantly higher and the technologies are constantly evolving. We shall see.

In 2026, my goal is to take back my privacy. It is possible and costs little. If we don’t do it, it’s only for convenience... then let’s not complain. 🛡️

In Sunday I enjoyed the open day and visited the production plant in Padova, Italy.

There are a lot of things I didn't know, especially about the circular economy of grapes.

Great job, Bonollo's family!

Often, we talk about AI and Lean Manufacturing as separate disciplines, sometimes even in opposition. But what if we shifted our perspective?

At their core, both share a profound, human-centric goal: to reduce unnecessary effort (the 'useless work') and enable people to focus on more meaningful, high-value activities.

AI isn't here to replace the wisdom of Kaizen; it's here to amplify it.

Imagine AI-powered predictive maintenance eliminating unexpected downtime, freeing up skilled technicians for proactive improvements. Or AI-driven quality control catching anomalies instantly, allowing our teams to innovate rather than just inspect.

Think of AI agents automating lead generation and qualification, liberating sales teams from tedious manual searches to focus on building relationships and closing deals.

This doesn't even come close to describing a cold, automated future. On the contrary, it's an intelligent future, where we leverage the tools at our disposal to eliminate the mundane, the repetitive, and the 'muda', so that human talent can truly emerge – solving complex problems, driving innovation, and creating more value. It's about making work smarter, safer, and more rewarding.

What opportunities are there to implement AI and Lean in your industry?

AI is a 'muda'-killer.

It's a tool to amplify Kaizen, not replace it.

Stop the AI vs. Lean debate. It's a false dichotomy.

The real goal is to free human potential from useless work.

I summarize the events related to Deloitte-AI "scandal":

1. December 2024: The Australian Department of Employment and Workplace Relations (DEWR) commissions Deloitte to analyze the IT system for welfare recipient sanctions.
2. July 2025: Deloitte publishes the final report, costing AUD 440,000, which contains several errors, including non-existent citations and references.
3. Shortly after publication: Christopher Rudge, an academic from the University of Sydney (and thus not part of DEWR), identifies the anomalies and points out the AI "hallucinations" presented in the document.

This is a 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: 𝘢 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦-𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯 (𝘐𝙽𝙰𝙲𝙲𝚄𝚁𝙰𝚃𝙴) 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.

IS YOUR STANDARD WORK GATHERING DUST? 😱

We've all seen it: the beautifully crafted standard work document, sitting on a shelf, ignored. This is the 'Standard Work That Isn't Standard' problem. 👻

Standard work isn't a one-time project. It's a living, breathing process ❤️ created and updated by the people who do the work. Standards imposed from above, without team involvement, are doomed to fail. 📉

I worked with a company struggling with this. High defects, old standard work. We went to the Gemba 🚶‍♂️, talked to operators. Standards were outdated, didn't reflect reality.
So, we threw out old documents 🗑️ and started fresh. Worked with operators to create new, visual standards 🎨, easy to understand and follow. Put them right where the work happened, not on a shelf. 📍
Then, identified who is responsible to maintain Standard Work

Result? Significant defect reduction 👇, more engaged workforce 💪, and a culture of continuous improvement. Everyone felt empowered. ✨

Don't let your standard work become a relic. Involve your team, make it visual, and bring it to life! 🚀

Are you enabling innovation or becoming a roadblock to progress?
Resistance to new tech isn't just a hurdle—it's a destructive force. I've seen it cripple organizations.

Two examples:
1️⃣ The Anti-AI Boss: Dismisses employees' attempts to use AI.
Result: Frustration, stagnation, and a loss of competitiveness as rivals accelerate.
2️⃣ The Anti-Automation Manager: Blocks robots on the factory floor.
Result: Workers suffer preventable injuries, morale plummets, and costs increase.

Resisting innovation isn't just missing out. It's actively harming your people and your bottom line.
It's time to ask: Are you fostering a culture of innovation, or are you clinging to the past at the expense of your future?

The Hidden Costs of Cutting Corners: Understanding Technical and ...

The Hidden Costs of Cutting Corners: Understanding Technical and Organizational Debt

In the fast-paced worlds of software development and management consulting, speed is often seen as a competitive advantage. We rush to launch new features, deliver client results, and meet tight deadlines. But what are the hidden costs of these shortcuts?

This is where the concept of "debt" comes in—not financial debt, but something just as impactful: technical debt in software and its parallel, organizational debt, in consulting.

What is Technical Debt?
Ward Cunningham, one of the authors of the Agile Manifesto, first coined the term "technical debt." He described it as the implied cost of rework caused by choosing an easy (limited) solution now instead of using a better approach that would take longer.

Think of it like this: you're building a house and need to install a window. The "right" way is to frame it properly, insulate it, and seal it against the elements. But you're in a hurry, so you just cut a hole and stick the window in. It works for now, but you've just accumulated technical debt. Down the line, you'll have to deal with drafts, leaks, and potentially even structural issues. You'll have to pay back the "debt" with interest, in the form of more complex and costly rework.

Examples of Technical Debt
Poorly written code: Code that is difficult to understand, modify, or debug.

Lack of documentation: Missing or outdated documentation makes it harder for new team members to get up to speed and for existing members to remember how things work.

Insufficient testing: Not writing automated tests might save time initially, but it leads to more bugs and manual testing down the line.

Outdated dependencies: Using old libraries or frameworks can create security vulnerabilities and make it difficult to add new features.

The Industrial Parallel: Organizational Debt
The same principles of technical debt apply to the world of industry and manufacturing, but here we call it organizational debt. This is the accumulation of "quick fixes" and process shortcuts that create drag on a team or organization.

Just like technical debt, organizational debt is often incurred under pressure. A middle manager might create a custom Excel spreadsheet to solve a problem instead of implementing a more robust, scalable solution. A project manager might skip a formal project kickoff meeting to "save time."

Examples of Organizational Debt:
"Hero culture": Relying on a few key individuals to solve all the problems creates bottlenecks and single points of failure.

Lack of standardized processes: When every people on a team uses their own templates and methods, it creates inconsistency and makes collaboration difficult.

Poor communication channels: Relying on ad-hoc emails and hallway conversations instead of a centralized communication plan leads to misunderstandings and missed information.

Insufficient training and onboarding: Throwing new team members into the deep end without proper training leads to mistakes and rework.

The Payback: Why Debt Matters
Both technical and organizational debt have the same outcome: they slow you down. The more debt you accumulate, the more time and energy you spend "servicing" that debt—fixing bugs, reworking deliverables, and dealing with the fallout from poor decisions.

This is the "interest" on your debt, and it can be crippling. It stifles innovation, frustrates team members, and ultimately impacts the bottom line.

How to Manage Your Debt
The goal is not to eliminate all debt. Sometimes, taking on a small amount of debt is a conscious, strategic decision. The key is to manage it effectively.

Acknowledge and track it: Create a "debt backlog" to keep track of all the shortcuts and quick fixes you've implemented.

Make it visible: Make sure the whole team understands the concept of debt and can identify it.

"Pay it down" regularly: Just like with financial debt, you need to make regular "payments." Set aside time in each project or sprint to address items from your debt backlog.

Focus on prevention: The best way to manage debt is to avoid accumulating it in the first place. Invest in good design, clear documentation, and standardized processes.

By understanding and actively managing both technical and organizational debt, you can build more resilient, efficient, and innovative teams—whether you're writing code or advising clients.

🚀 AI & Lean: A Practical Revolution, Not Just a Theory 💡

The synergy between Artificial Intelligence and Lean methodologies isn’t just a theoretical concept; it’s a practical revolution unfolding in workplaces worldwide, starting from the ground up.

Today, almost everyone uses ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Claude.

Yet, on the radio and social media, we still hear the same alarmist traditionalists trying to explain that AI automates and therefore cuts jobs. They completely forget how AI empowers individuals to improve decision-making, the quality of their output, and consequently, each of our professional positions.

Imagine a logistics coordinator using AI to cross-reference production planning with purchase orders, ensuring just-in-time deliveries and leveling the workload for their inbound logistics colleagues. This isn’t just an efficiency gain; it’s a transformation that liberates human potential to perform higher-level tasks...

Coincidentally, this is the very objective of Lean Thinking. 🌱

What’s truly impressive is the growing number of professionals actively seeking to integrate AI into their Lean practices. They aren’t waiting for top-down mandates; they’re eager to learn by getting their hands dirty, experimenting, and applying tools to solve real-world problems. This bottom-up drive for innovation, fueled by a desire for continuous improvement, is where the real magic happens. It’s about empowering people to work smarter, not just harder, and to find enthusiasm in mastering new tools. ✨

The present and future of Lean are shaped by those curious enough to ask, “How can I make this better?” And then they set out to find the right tool, whether it’s traditional methods, AI, or automation. 🛠️
