Over the past 6 months, thanks to Bitcoin I have reassessed my privacy and security and opted to move away from big tech and secure my sats. Here is a list of tasks that have helped me achieve sovereignty over my data and privacy.
- Built a small PC with a Raspberry Pi in a SNES case with Umbrel.
- Installed electrs and bitcoin core to run my own node.
- Upgraded to Coldcard mk4 with off-site backups.
- Setup Sparrow over my own node and Tor.
- Migrated to self-hosting my data on Nextcloud instance (learned some basics with DNS and HTTPs) bye iCloud.
Next on the list is:
- Buy a Yubikey for 2FA
- Move to GrapheneOS and Google Pixel
- Read OSINT Techniques by Michael Bazzell
