As devices get smarter, they -- and the companies that created them
-- gather more and more data about you, the user: what you like,
where you go, even listening to and recording conversations around
the house. It's easy to gloss over how much data is getting stored
in "the cloud" everyday without you knowing, but with a little
effort, you don't have to trade privacy for functionality. In this
issue of Make: , we address this head-on. We'll show you how to set
up your own DIY voice assistants using free and private tools that
keep your data local while performing your favorite tasks. You can
even run one on a Raspberry Pi! Then, configure a WebThings gateway
from Mozilla to keep your IoT gadgets connected but private. And if
you still can't give up Alexa's bells and whistles, at least
consider assembling the Alias Privacy Parasite, which lets you
decide when Alexa gets to listen in. The issue also continues our
