I’ve delayed making the transition to a fully “secure” set up until upgrading my PC and moving to a Linux distro from windows. now that that is happening and my parts are in the mail, what does the Lemmy community recommend for my personal network data to remain as eyes free as possible from potential hostile gov & non gov entities?

For context, I have 2 years of Ubuntu experience on a non daily driver laptop, recently acquired a CCNA, and have a deeply seated hatred & paranoia of being spied on. I have many hours of security content bookmarked, but am curious to hear the Lemming communities recommendations. I am currently studying for my AWS cloud practitioner cert, then Linux+, then my CCNP.

TLDR me Lemmy 🤣

    I haven’t, I use my phone as a medical device, so I haven’t taken the grapheneOS plunge yet as I’m not sure if the medical app would work. Yes, you’d have to wipe your phone to install GrapheneOS. For authenticator, if the app you used doesn’t allow exporting them, you have to disable 2 factor on all services and websites that use the authenticator 2 factor codes, switch to the new phone and new app, and re-enable on all services to get the new authenticate code. Pretty shitty, that some authenticator apps don’t give you a way to export (I don’t think the google app allows you to, correct?)

      I never really thought to check if there is some way to export but I suppose that will be the way I’ll go about this. Thanks for your input :)
