I’m not suggesting to pay one euro each month, I’m suggesting that you treat your lemmy instance as a 12 euro per year subscription. Compared to literally every other service it is basically free.

It’s not even expensive. A single euro monthly per user is more then enough to keep instances running
please do not bring over reddit memes. Eventually someone will not understand the irony and keep doing it for real. thanks
Do not use “paste” that already has a low viscosity at room temp, it will get more liquid as it heats up. Good thermal paste doesn’t even cost much, and a syringe last for years of regular service on multiple devices. Repasting is not difficult.
Yeah, the animation is excellent and really helps visualizing the concept
Thanks for the heads up, my setup is indeed 6-12 months old. My thoughts on the linked list:
Edit: Crossed out slightly out of date recommendations, see comments.
Do not confuse privacy with anonymity. Your goal is not to defend against governments or other entities with limitless resourced, but against profit oriented companies. By reducing the amount of data you leak and obfuscating what is left, your data becomes progressively worthless as you improve your setup. This is a good thing, because companies will focus their limited resources on areas with a higher profit margin.
Given your description, I think the network side of IT security is pretty much top notch, firmly in the top 0.1% if not 0.01% of users. However most of the tracking happens at the browser level, so it alone does not protect you that much.
Firefox is a solid base, but it is optimized to not break any websites, rather then providing maximum privacy. You can try to tweak settings manually, but I’d rather recommend you to use LibreWolf on PC and Mull on Android. Both are pre-configure, hardened versions of Firefox, that also have proprietary Mozilla features like “Pocket” and some telemetry removed form the source. A standard install has basically no downsides, 99.9% of sites work normally and privacy is quite good.
Librewolf has ublock origin pre-installed and pre-configured with sane defaults. I’d recommend the following additional addons:
If you are willing to do some fine tuning or accept broken sites, consider also:
And finally consider some obfuscation techniques to throw of the remaining trackers. Right now I only use one, and highly recommend it because of its effectiveness:
All of this throws off the vast majority of trackers, and puts you in the top 0.1% of users. Yes, this also makes you kinda “unique”, because websites may notice the effort you put in to defend yourself. Bad idea if you try to hide from the government, you should be using TOR for that anyway, but great to signal companies that you are not worth the squeeze.
Keep your head up bro. The situation is not as terrible as it may seem, but companies want you to believe that, so that you don’t even try.
Can they teach me how to remove the license check from an app? I don’t want it for free, I paid for it and would gladly pay another 50 times, rather I want to get rid of the google play framework altogether and it’s the only irreplaceable app that doesn’t work on microG :(
May I introduce you to our lemmy instance? Sending over $600 without the IRS feeling up on you, lol.
I don’t condone tax evasion, but I do oppose mass surveillance and firmly believe “innocent until proven guilty”. The biggest tax evaders are large corpos and megachurches anyway.
Man this job posting is worse then all the garbage that companies put out. There will be very few people who tolerate KYC for non-paying volunteer internet janny job - and those who do should probably never be mods. Good luck tho, you’ll need it.
