privacy tools and info your adhd zoomer brain wont care about *dangles car keys*

Suggestions? questions? feel free to reach out

Privacy tools are Inconsistent. To effectively use them and properly protect yourself you need a threat model [linddun.org]

Why privacy matters even if you have nothing to hide [inv.nadeko.net]

Tor [www.torproject.org] "The onion routing protocol isn't as anonymous as you think it is" -Elliot Alderson. read the doc before using. Note: the NSA is using a surveillance program called xkeyscore [wikiless.northboot.xyz] to collect the ip addresses of anyone showing interest in privacy. Snowden's leaked documents from 2013 reveal that users visiting certain websites such as the Tor project, Tails OS, Linux Journal and even Wikipedia are flagged as "extremists" and put on a watch list. it's highly recommended to use Tor with a bridge for all your web browsing and use a normal browser only for signing into accounts. if you have a friend with Tor already installed, have them visit the site with Tor and send you the files

GrapheneOS [grapheneos.org] this is the most secure and private mobile OS in the world. pair it with the Orbot app and use the phone as a Wi-Fi only device for a true anonymous phone. those who say privacy on a phone is impossible are full of ♥♥♥♥. the hard work Daniel Micay and his team have done is nothing short of incredible. requires a factory unlocked Google Pixel device

Monero [www.getmonero.org] digital cash because cash is king. highly recommended to run your own monero node with Tor

Whonix [whonix.org] better than Tails, far more private and secure but does lack the amnesia that Tails truly provides. recommended to use with KVM for more security but requires linux. read the official doc and have an understanding of Tor before using

Qubes OS [www.qubes-os.org] the os Edward Snowden uses. the os and every window/open tab runs inside it's own virtual machine with Tor. advanced users can also run Whonix on top of Qubes for extra protection. requires a semi decent pc to run properly and has to run bare metal to avoid issues. can be a bit hard for beginners.

Tails [tails.boum.org] portable, very easy to setup and great for beginners. once again make sure to read the official doc and have an understanding of Tor before using

F-Droid [f-droid.org] open-source and privacy respecting replacement for the Google Play Store with FOSS alternatives. can be used with the Orbot app to download apps anonymously, requires an android device

NetGuard [f-droid.org] for Android, LockDown [apps.apple.com] for iOS. those using GrapheneOS don't need NetGuard since Graphene has a network permission for apps

Organic Maps [organicmaps.app] privacy respecting alternative to Google Maps. it can be used completely offline without wi-fi, data or even location services. personally I find this one better than OsmAnd due to the much simpler and cleaner ui

OpenWrt [openwrt.org] open source replacement for your routers stock firmware. why is this important? because you don't know what your router is secretly doing behind the scenes [www.darkreading.com] if you cant see the code. alternatively you can use DD-WRT [dd-wrt.com] if your router isn't supported. if you need something extra there's pfSense [www.pfsense.org]

Quad9 [www.quad9.net] DNS is something I don't see a lot of people considering that much when protecting their privacy. the DNS most ISPs give you is not encrypted and allows them to spy on your search queries. I recommend running this through your entire home network

4get [4get.zzls.xyz] my personal favorite search engine. scrapes search results from DuckDuckGo and others. throw this guy a donation if you can. he does great work

uBlock Origin [ublockorigin.com] much more than just an adblocker. lets you create filter lists to block domains that contain trackers, ads, malware, and can even block javascript. i recommend running it in hard mode at all times (3rd party, 3rd party scripts, 3rd party frames and javascript blocked)

KeePassXC [keepassxc.org] stop saving your passwords through a web browser

ExifCleaner [exifcleaner.com] metadata leftover from your photos can reveal a lot about you such as your location. always clean your photos before sharing

Invidious [invidious.io] for desktop, alternatively FreeTube (use vpn or Tor) [freetubeapp.io] NewPipe [newpipe.net] for Android

Teddit [codeberg.org] for privately browsing reddit. some instances may not work

Mullvad VPN [mullvad.net] free vpns are garbage, collect and sell your data. if you want an actual vpn that respects privacy, this is it. alternatively there's IVPN [www.ivpn.net] which is good. preferably pay with monero

Tuta [tuta.com] email is very important since so many people around the world rely on it nowadays for stuff like jobs. big tech email like Gmail or Outlook is not encrypted and they, along with big brother, spy on everything in your inbox. no email is truly private however, for that you'll need something like Claws Mail [www.claws-mail.org]

SimpleLogin [simplelogin.io] lets you setup and create burner email aliases for things you don't wanna hand your real email over for. recommended to pay with Monero. those seeking an anonymous identity can set it up with Tor along with their encrypted email of choice like Tuta

SimpleX [simplex.chat] what Signal could've been if Moxie wasn't such a greedy crypto cuck. does everything Signal does but better and doesn't require a phone number or email for signup. for more info on Signals downfall, check here [yewtu.be] desktop version does not support tor. requires android version and the orbot app for that

Element [element.io] default matrix instance uses Cloudflare. if you have to use element, use a different server instance. better than using discord or skype at least. also supports end-to-end encryption and doesn't send your data to china, unlike discord [redlib.pussthecat.org]

Briar [briarproject.org] great for journalists as it lets you message people even without an internet connection. contact lists and messages are all end-to-end encrypted and uses tor network to keep you anonymous. desktop version is a bit lacking but it's getting better with each update

GameIndustry [gameindustry.eu] provides great insight on spyware within video games and commonly used software. the person behind it makes hosts files to block such spyware and does excellent work. check em out

O&O ShutUp10++ [www.oo-software.com] a must have if you're using microshaft winblows. blocks and removes most of its spyware and also works on winblows 11. alternatively you can use WinUtil [github.com]

World

We live in a spoiled society where people care more about the slightest increase to convenience rather than their right to digital privacy. A society where people stand by and do nothing, where likes on social media and bending the knee to algorithmic censorship matters more than spending time with those we care deepest for, where turning our heads and not questioning the status quo is encouraged and sought after in the form of consumerism to constantly distract and sedate ourselves, where people who expose the truth get punished and labeled as thought criminals by those in power. Future generations will never know a world with freedom of expression, nor free thought. A world where freedom is outlawed and of a bygone era, a world where mass surveillance is the norm as history burns along with the great leaders who wrote it before us. Real? you wanna talk about reality? we haven't lived in anything remotely close to it since the turn of the century. We're not even living in a society anymore, we're living in the biggest social experiment mankind has ever seen. Change needs to happen.

But what if changing the world is just about being here? by showing up no matter how many times we get told we don't belong? By staying true even when we're shamed into being false? By believing in ourselves even when we're told we're too different? And if we all held onto that, if we refuse to budge and fall in line, if we stood our ground for long enough, just maybe the world can't help but change around us.
