Personally, I use a password manager, vpn, and all of my devices have minimal tracking and are fully encrypted. Just wanted to hear what others do.

    I thought of a similar thread but I think the results would be pretty much the same. It’s great to have some mutual inspiration here.

    Anyway, there’s tons of stuff I can list here. I’m gonna list some stuff but will probably forget 70% of the other stuff because it’s become so common in my daily life.

    • Own NAS as private cloud
    • Self-host on my NAS to not use internet services that spy on me (like Bitwarden, Joplin server, cryptgeon, Syncthing, Nextcloud)
    • OPNsense as my router of choice
    • W10Privacy (because I still can’t switch to Linux because of circumstances)
    • Firefox as my browser of choice with some extra settings to harden it (I tried something like LibreWolf in the past but I can’t use Spotify without DRM)
    • uBlock Origin of course (and some other browser addons like LibRedirect, ClearURLs, Decentraleyes and so on)
    • Privacy respecting mail provider (mailbox.org)
    • Signal (instead of WhatsApp)
    • Thunderbird (instead of something like Outlook)
    • Piped (instead of YouTube)
    • Uninstalled/disabled all apps on my phone that I don’t need (also saves battery)
    • Been using custom ROMs on my phone (but I made some bad experiences with stability so I stick with the stock ROM for now)
    • NextDNS (with encrypted DNS)
    • Whoogle (instead of Google)
    • Lemmy (instead of reddit, haha)

    Gonna add some more to the list whenever something comes up in my mind. Like I said it’s become so basic in my life that I don’t always think about it anymore when I use it.

    Btw things like 2FA only help with security, not privacy.
