Unpublished Work
There are dozens of unpublished essays, research, and software projects in my backlog. Many are already far along; they mainly need editing, framing, and presentation before publication.

Tools
These are privacy-conscious services I use or recommend when they fit the job.
Disclosure: each tool entry is explicitly marked as referral code, referral link, or non-affiliate. The recommendation date shows when the entry was written or last materially reviewed. Separate lines identify reader and author benefits when present.
Ente Photos (referral code: XZ931I)
Right now, it is the only stable, feature-rich E2E photo-sharing app on the market (there is also Proton, but they do not primarily focus on their photo app). It just works. The only caveat right now is that it lacks hierarchical sorting/filtering, whether manual or automatic, so it gets a bit messy because it uses a flat album -> photo structure. It works well overall. I am sure they will find good solutions around this limitation within 1-2 years. To apply the code, open Settings → General → Referrals → Apply Code in Ente and enter XZ931I. You can also apply XZ931I after you already have a paid subscription.
Your benefit: 10 GB of Ente storage credit

1984 Hosting (non-affiliate)
Their official policy is to go the extra mile to protect customers' civil rights, including freedom of expression, freedom of the press, anonymity, and privacy. In the ADL litigation, they wrote that they would defend their hosting all the way to the highest court if necessary. They have a proven track record for this and seem driven by a mission and principles. They will not take you offline just for having an unpopular opinion. They have a free DNS service and accept Monero payments for their domains, which might be a good start. However, note that they don't support CNAME flattening, ALIAS, or ANAME records at the domain apex. So you can't point a root/naked domain directly at a CDN hostname the usual way, as you would with Cloudflare/BunnyCDN. But that's the only problem so far that I have run into.
Bunny CDN (referral link)
I host my personal website on Bunny CDN's edge network. It is basically a European alternative to the core functionality of the original Cloudflare. It is still considerably smaller than Cloudflare, but for personal projects or smaller stuff, I can definitely recommend it.
My benefit: I can receive $20 for each valid new paying customer. Bunny lets affiliates request a payout where supported, or convert rewards into Bunny credits with a 25% bonus.
Tuta (referral link)
E2E-encrypted mail provider and calendar. Their software is getting more mature with every update. It is not yet perfect, but they have reached a point now where I can recommend them. They function mostly like a typical small local German IT company; they might not have the best support and not everything is polished, but they are trustworthy, and that matters more for E2E. Currently, they block access through IVPN (they had issues with DDoS in the past), and they do not let you unsubscribe from their own marketing emails. I have notified them about this issue, and I am confident they will fix it soon, as they did in the past with another such issue. I still think they are the best E2E email provider currently. These mistakes just prove to me that they are this typical small German IT company that makes good, trustworthy software but does not get UX right. Use the referral link when creating the account.
Your benefit: If you buy a yearly subscription through the link, you get one extra month.
My benefit: I receive Tuta account credits equal to 25% of payments made in your first month. Tuta credits can pay Tuta invoices and are not paid out.

Lettermint says it usually processes verification requests within a few hours; mine took about 11 minutes after submission and 22 minutes end to end. Fast approval is not guaranteed: your details need to be accurate, your website should work, and your description should clearly and honestly explain what you send, your expected volume, and how recipients opt in or out. I chose Lettermint because it publishes that review window and is a Netherlands-based European provider. The UI is clean and covers the normal account and sending management I need, including teams, domains, projects, routes, API/SMTP access, message history, and analytics. It supports both transactional and broadcast/marketing email. The free plan includes 300 emails per month; Starter is currently €10 per month for 10,000 emails.
