Kabir's Tech Dives
I'm always fascinated by new technology, especially AI. One of my biggest regrets is not taking AI electives during my undergraduate years. Now, with consumer-grade AI everywhere, I’m constantly discovering compelling use cases far beyond typical ChatGPT sessions.
As a tech founder for over 22 years, focused on niche markets, and the author of several books on web programming, Linux security, and performance, I’ve experienced the good, bad, and ugly of technology from Silicon Valley to Asia.
In this podcast, I share what excites me about the future of tech, from everyday automation to product and service development, helping to make life more efficient and productive.
Please give it a listen!

Big Mama VPN: Hidden Dangers and Legal Risks
The episode warns against using Big Mama's free VPN service, explaining that it routes internet traffic through users' home IP addresses, exposing them to significant risks. This practice allows others to potentially use a user's IP for illegal activities, leading to legal repercussions such as involvement in cybercrime, nation-state attacks, or financial fraud. Children are particularly vulnerable, especially those using the service for gaming. The article stresses the importance of parental monitoring and recommends using reputable, paid VPN services instead. The core message is that the potential dangers far outweigh the convenience of a free VPN like Big Mama.
