Every other day I see the the world turning into a cyberpunk hellscape with no privacy. I am starting to feel what’s the point of trying to claw back privavy.
However I am not givong up as the need for privacy is more important than ever.
It the spirit of continuing the fight how should what should I Improve next?
Currently running Fedora 40 and use only open source apps. When browsing I try and use Mullvad browser and use my regular logins on a hardened Firefox with arkenfox. I have proton unlimtes for mail, passwords, drive and a VPN which is always on. I have filen as a back for redundancy and my most import files are encrypted with Crypomator and uploaded to both clouds.
On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android. The only I have replaces most android apps with Fossify apps and use Obtanium, Aurura and F-Droid for apps. I use ente Auth for authentication except for my work as I have to use Microsoft Authenticator. The only proprietary apps I use are Facebook messenger, spotify, google maps and my bank. I use Facebook messenger and maps through shelter .
For browsing on Android I use Mull and on my android Proton VPN is always on. I visit twitter and twitter ocasionly but always through mull browser.
For keeping in contact with freinds I use Aliucord in Android and Vesktop on my PC
Before anyone asks my bank is App only and it is the only way I have been able to successfully manage my finaces so I have to stay with that for now.
For spending habniys I try to use Google pay as little as possible and use my master card.
My Apologies for my english I am a little stupid when it comes to spelling and grammar.
Maybe the most impactful, easiest, and most expensive thing is to get your information off of the internet. There are a few services that do this like incogni but I’d recommend kanary. The gist is they have a list of known data brokers and they send out requests to them, on your behalf, to remove your information from their services.
