About Yorili Tech Journal

The Yorili Tech Journal is an independent blog launched in April 2026 by Riad T.— IT professional, Tech enthusiastic, former translator and open source advocate.

Yorili stands for Your Right to Liberty — a name that reflects everything this site is about: owning your data, questioning the default, preserving what matters, and thinking freely not only in Tech but in every aspect or your life.

This is not a corporate blog. No sponsors. No algorithm. No clickbait. Just honest notes from someone who has spent years working in IT, translating between languages and cultures, self-hosting everything on Linux machines and more.

If any of that sounds like your kind of corner of the internet — you're in the right place.
