That sounds really handy! Can’t wait to never hear about it again!

I had to double-check to make sure; but no, it isn’t.

It’s the second time I’ve seen this tweet in 24h, and I still can’t believe this isn’t meant to be ironic.

I’m almost impressed by how dumb this guy is.

You can try playing with Arkenfox, installing uBlock Origin, fiddling with about:config, and giving yourself an aneurysm…

…or you could try Mullvad Browser. It’s a fork of Firefox, co-developed by Mullvad and The Tor Project, with impressive fingerprinting resistance (according to Cover Your Tracks). It’s like Tor Browser without Tor.

Also, install NoScript. It helps a lot.

Welp. Guess now is as good a time as any for me to switch to deSEC…

I want to see this.

Thanks!

Well, I mean you can probably blame Earth for a lot of issues; although I suppose it’s the population and not the planet itself.

It’s okay, but I’d personally recommend NextDNS more. Quad9 is also good, but more basic.

I like it. Pretty damn good for privacy, based on Gecko, supports desktop extensions, and developed by the Divested Computing Group (the same one that created and maintains DivestOS).

(The NSA think they’re slick)

Yep, I’ve noticed that too.

Great idea. That’ll be hilarious!

Maybe not quite ready for the general public yet, but I hear PureOS runs quite nicely and, if you can make it work, it could be a good idea.

Essentially:

• Filen - Server in Germany, run by Filen. Has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux (both x86_64 and arm64), iOS, and Android; but not BSD or ChromeOS. You get 10 GB for free.
• Nextcloud - Server wherever you want, as you host it yourself. Has clients for most platforms, including Android, and also supports WebDAV. Everything is on your terms. Also comes with things like a calendar, a notes app, and ActivityPub (I think). You can run NextCloud on a Raspberry Pi under your desk for cheap.
• Syncthing - No server and no account, as it is strictly peer-to-peer. Has clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, illumos, Solaris, and Android; and there’s an unofficial client for iOS (Möbius Sync). Devices must be on the same network to sync (although there’s probably a way of getting it working globally). Totally free to use.

I use Filen because I only have one Raspberry Pi (which is in use), so Nextcloud isn’t a viable option; and I had trouble getting Syncthing to work.

I’m not entirely sure. I’m still using the free tier. A bit hypocritical for me to say that payment is polite, I know; but I do tend to use USB drives more than the cloud.
