I realized there’s more to lose personally and less to gain by putting my thoughts and writing and how to’s out there for free on the internet. Especially now that AI is stealing (that’s harsh, maybe ingesting?) anything that isn’t nailed down.

What really changed everything was all the Chinese web traffic around 2014 on the blog posts that included command by command instructions on how to mine Bitcoin headless under Ubuntu.

My paranoia is singular and began 10+ years ago but I do not see the benefit to blogging (for free) on the internet.

I’m also not job hunting or looking to network with anyone. I’m not interested in elevating my e-status and I have no wares to hawk. I understand though that other people do need to “sell themselves” for whatever reason on the internet.
