299 Digital sovereignty starts at home

Guests: Carl-Christian Salvesen and Erik Kaareng-Sunde Language: Swedish/Norwegian Duration: 23.41 min

Your doorbell can record visitors, your robot vacuum cleaner connects to the internet and your car has become a data center on wheels. Our homes are filled with connected technology, but do we really know where all the data goes? In this episode, Redpill Linpro consultants Karl-Christian Salvesen and Erik Kaareng-Sunde explore what digital sovereignty means in everyday life. They discuss how dependent we have become on cloud services and large technology providers, and how self-hosting and open-source solutions can give us more control over our data. We also look at practical ways to improve digital sovereignty at home, from keeping track of connected devices and separating them on your network to hosting your own files and photos. You do not have to disconnect from the digital world, but you can make more conscious choices about who controls your devices and your data.
