The N.I.X server
Motivation
The "General Data Protection Regulation", GDPR (in German DSGVO), is a european law, meant to apply some rules to the excessive use of private data by some big companies. A good idea!
Besides that it fully applies to everybody, even to people, who collect data by accident while using external functions or having a provides that writes clear logfiles...
Today there are numerous channels for user data and some of them can be identified by professionals only.
At FALCOM GmbH we are pioneers of the World Wide Web, running own servers since 1996. Our domain, herein.com, was registered 10 days before nasa.gov and a year before windows.com.
We know, how to build machines, that do not callenge the users privacy. We waive most of those modern blessing and stay with prooven technology. This makes our devices looking "old" in it´s best sense. We call that new philosophy Steampunk Computing
