Most of my money comes from contract work for public utilities around the country, but I also provide remote tech support to small business and SOHO clients, mainly (but not exclusively) in the USA.
I do a fair amount of custom work for people when a loved one dies: unlocking computers, data recovery, and account recovery (Advice: keep paying their cell phone bill until you've got all their data back).
Also, personal cybersecurity for journalists, TV reporters, politicians down to the City Council level, and political candidates. TV stations: contact me for contract pricing for your entire news team.
Use https://fifonetworks.com/contact-us/ for questions or to schedule service. It's just me. You'll be communicating directly with me.

Ach ja: Trolle, die einfach nur provozieren wollen oder auf sachlich falschen Behauptungen bestehen, blockiere ich. Geht woanders spielen.

@[email protected]I like to build simple, secure and resilient information systems to empower and connect people. I believe that this is best done with Free Software, open data standards, open protocols, and restrained craftsmanship.
I am happiest when I get to do this work with those fighting fascism, ethnic-cleaning, genocide and protecting our environment.
To make a living, I provide consulting and coaching services for software, data, and security engineering.
