Data Privacy Day 2026

2026-01-28

I have had to involve myself with more security than I might like to otherwise. Maintaining an internet node comes with a wide selection of people out to exploit your defenses to gain access to anything and everything you might have on a server in the public domain.

Toward this end, I have implemented a very involved set of convoluted access criteria anyone attempting to gain access to or utilize my protected resources must meet.

One false move toward unauthorized access and you are firewalled automatically. I hate to go to these extremes but there are so many out there on the public domain without any sense of human decency who feel what's theirs is theirs and what's mine is theirs — so I simply take a proactive unforgiving bent regarding security violations of any type.

Today is Data Privacy Day.

This is an international event that occurs every year on January 28th.

The purpose of Data Privacy Day is raising awareness and promoting privacy as well as data protection best practices.

It is currently observed in the United States, Canada, Qatar, Nigeria, Israel and 47 European countries.

While you are welcome to a lot of my stuff there is a certain set belonging to others which you may not access and the consequences for attempting are permanent and severe. It's not what I "want" but something I "require". You can't have just any old thing you want from me if I find myself charged with protecting it from you.

Happy Data Privacy Day.
