Experience wise i’ve had a better time with mullvad at every corner when it comes to vpns than proton.
Protons still a respectable company i’d say but there focus is gonna become spread more thin while mullvads gonna continue providing a stable and simple experience.
Plus mullvads never gonna confuse you when it comes to pricing unlike proton, no extra time spent finding the difference between a monthly and annual subscription.
You could go with a regular mailing service that has a catch all feature and the ability to forward emails to your main address. You lose out on all the useful features such as disabling certain addresses and open your inbox to more spam but it’s an idea.
Not gonna outright recommend them in a privacy subreddit but for example Cloudflare has a feature like this from what I can tell and so does Apples paid icloud plans.
Could setup your main address as name@example.com and your catch all with a subdomain such as servicename@mail.example.com and just have them forwarded to the first address
Yep!

Feels pretty overkill at this point, can’t help assume most of its redundant but I haven’t run into any issues yet. I got them from this firefox support thread a while back
Questions: What tactics could be used to move people en masse away from mainstream platforms
Keep letting large platforms run themselves into the ground. Has been working with twitter, each substantial change is causing more and more people to ask why in the hell do I wanna stay. Other then that just push those you know to use alternatives
I was able to easily convince friends to switch to firefox from chrome when they announced all those changes to their ad system
Install ublock, add a filter to block the login prompt in the “my rules” section
Can’t find the exact rules I have but when I’m on my desktop i can reply with them, there’s a bunch of variants I found searching for it but they should all work (unless googles changed stuff)
First big step I took was going through all my emails and deleting inactive accounts/making deletion requests. It was a major hassle but made me feel a lot more secure about my email and digital footprint. Plus built a real basic understanding about taking a more minimalist approach to the internet, suddenly I wasn’t getting emails every hour and random notifications, it was nice.
Other then that ublock origin and your password manager of choice that hopefully isn’t attached to the browser, oh and 2fa
one of my first html/css projects was a real simple linktree type page. This would be a great entry to learning/trying it out
i’ve got a used dell optiplex laying around for any bigger projects so a pi would be for tinkering with and small scale stuff. I didn’t have a good grasp of how slow it would run though thank you
How’s the Pi 3? I was considering the idea of getting one to avoid the crazy prices for newer models
like everyone else has said hardware level encryption doesn’t seem like the most sound option.
Personally i’ve just encrypted sensitive files with picocrypt, only just started looking into better encryption techniques though so there’s probably better alternatives.
Apple is releasing a more comprehensive password manager in the next few months, if she’s heavily in the apple ecosystem the switch could be pretty convenient
Obviously bitwarden or keepass would be great but this would be a bump up from being stored in a browser
