A personal selection of videos I keep coming back to or like recommending to others. Cybersec, privacy, technology, deep dives and things to watch when you just want to relax.

YouTube is full of noise, but sometimes there is a video that genuinely explains something, changes how I think about a topic, or simply fits an evening when I do not want to do anything too productive.

This page is my personal collection of videos worth watching. Not a ranking of the best videos on the internet, but a curated list of things I would happily send to a friend.

The videos are split into categories such as cybersec, privacy, technology, AI, deep dives, creative work and fun. The full list is below.
