Addendum - Although the Mini Blog post dated 2025/12/23 was finished at the time, I regret I was not able to upload this sooner due to long-lasting severe flu from which I am still recovering.

The Mini Blog this time is forced, by political and moreover geo-political events of recent - and even not so recent as well as current - times to address such political and geo-political issues. While it is my policy to steer clear of political issues generally, this is no time to remain silent. That time has long past. Especially also when these issues can have and no doubt do have a great relevence and even impact on our focus issues of online security and privacy, and privacy, freedom of speech/expression, civil and human rights, and freedom and democracy itself. I make no aplogies for this, and can only conclude with saying MAGA - Make America Go Away!

Beyond what has been said so far, we have a good selection of links to posts from Proton's Blog featuring very interesting and useful information concerning online security and privacy. But please view these as a mere introduction to what is a real treasure trove of knowledge and dig further!
