If you have the possibility to self host -> PiHole (or adguard)

If not -> TrackerControl (a.k.a. TC)

For non-techy people I think the best way of getting into it is surely the mass surveillance, “you use social medias, but did you know that all of it is recorded and reported on these?” I would try to use some scary things that would make people first really interested to it from the start, instead of proposing alternatives the second you talk to them. Examples are countless try to inform yourself on the Edward Snowden leak to explain it to them, talk about the numerous spying techniques used by big tech. Hope was at least a bit useful :)

Give me questions that you ask yourself I will be very happy to answer them ;)

It’s not about going “full privacy-hardened” than to not use at all any phones with stock Apple and Google software. Seriously you can do any effort you want, the first one would be to install a custom android privacy based ROM. You can’t go around it.

You’re absolutely right but these are mainly a droplet in the glass of global surveillance started by global facial cameras But at the end they are surely going to even more increase this shit

Facial recognition street cameras are far more dangerous than these. Sure they are pretty creepy but without rayban you could already insert tiny cameras into glasses to spy on people

EDIT : the only big concern is that they get more popular and that they increased even faster the global surveillance

How sorry didn’t know, so that make him really one of the biggest expert in FOSS 100%

That’s a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it’s really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.

Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn’t fully watched the video so maybe I’m wrong and he made a big disclaimer)

Because it makes a healthier base to work with or to simply use it without caring

Increasing privacy (and sometimes security)

So what do you about it?

thx

For sure datas are everywere and will maybe try to remove it, but (as said to another person) what do you think about this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18649355 Thank you

This is surely one of the best option but its time hungry to setup, read this reply: https://lemmy.ml/comment/18649355 What do you think?

Thank you, to be clear these datas are not really compromising but it’s still datas and I don’t want them on internet. My point of view was, is it better to leave it and fake that we are a “normie” (sorry for the word, a little bit negative…) and that I don’t care about being there or to try to remove it. My argument is that trying to remove it would make me shine like a glowstick by saying that I care bout it. What’s your opinion?

Waterfox try to remove some blobs of Firefox out of the box, so it’s better for the normal user

I don’t know what is spam for you, but when you get three message requests from three girls respectively named Tania, Clara and Ella that are contacting you about you carrier or your management skills, I call it spam.

The way that Signal integrates phone number is odd because it opens up the spam door. O understand why Signal use phone numbers this way (to make “normies” adopt Signal more easily like WhatsApp would do) but it not the best to kind of contaminate the network with the traditional cell network

Scams, girls wanting to chat with you, incredible money opportunities…

You can go to Simplex (for sure a lot of people here already done it) but if only privacy nerds get to this place this is not a great solution. We (I’m talking about us using Lemmy and chatting on SimpleX) must convince people, starting by friends and family to stop using these fucking socials then at this point SimpleX will be considered as a viable alternative

It’s not an argument. Think about regular mobile numbers, are they preventing spams? No.

Personnaly I hate all the companies that are saying they are trust worthy because they are swiss, but nevermind this is not your question. Personnaly I wouldn’t recommended you at all a “prebuilt” NAS as later you will be stuck in a proprietary env that not gonna serve you well. So buy a cheap PC out of eBay and customize it to your needs

Edit : typo

If you want to be good in your mind, make it open source and publicly available.

The other solution is to keep it BUT think a little, if such a dev like you succeeded to make a such great working product don’t you think that five eyes (and others) could do a much more advanced product within a shorter period of time?

So if you don’t make it to the public someone will develop it m against your will

Not working

Can understand that you are using it

BUT iOS is NOT a private OS at all!

Snowflake is a bit like a bridge so you only transport encrypted traffic to the tor network and no one knows what’s in

The only requirements is to live in a place that is not blocked from Tor (and don’t a low data plan)

Time to promote peertube

Great job, keep your motivation!

But you shouldn’t use any apple product, they are as bad for privacy as using Google’s one. Do not use an iPhone (lineageos is pretty good to use), do not use Apple’s services… And keep going

Right thank you

As I seen in other comment I think that the protocol is audited not really the app and servers In comparison SimpleX is audited pretty regularly

Don’t know if we should impose Signal as an alternative and forget SimpleX, in fact SimpleX is better in many other ways than Signal, the only problems are early dev problems…

In any case a service that implement E2EE is always more secure than plain data transit Even with a backdoor it’s a bit more secure than regular service

But you should be angry against the UK law cause of the probable future consequences that will impose even further surveillance for other services But people that defend it are probably mainly Apple fans. Apple is “against” to maintain a “privacy” friendly company against google and meta, but it’s bullshit

Thx

Thank you useful read

Vivaldi is not open source. For me that’s a no-go

My bad

The problem with Mullvad is that there is not port forwarding for seeding stuff

Or maybe a two hope vps setup should be great too, while preserving usable speeds

Will look at it

In any case a VPN is not anonymous but more private than without. Only some can be used as real privacy voucher (for example Mullvad, iVPN (and maybe proton…)), other are great for torrenting but in any case for privacy, they are not really transparent upon their security + surely friend with most of the intelligence agencies

Is a self hosted VPN good for daily privacy?

Found that it is a UK based society where did you find that it was Israeli?
