Tin foil hat time. Snowden is an ongoing glow op, the government does not have the capabilities for blanket mass surveillance, and glow-op snowden is pushing people towards glow-op 'privacy' software (notice ots always centralized shit like signal, never anything like simplex or session). I dont even use a vpn cuz fuck em. If they gonna come for me for some reason, a fuckin vpn aint saving my ass. And if someone is monitoring my online activity, I welcome it so they can learn how fucking worthless their lives are

And thr vpns just break everything now because they are blocked like tor
I cant even use reddit on a vpn now
And then vpns ruin your web experience with captchas
The same vpn fags dont clear their browsing data frequently making vpns worthless for being anonymous
Yea I do what I feel is reasonable. Im very ocd with keeping devices clean. And I find using tor or a vpn just is unpleasant. I will occasionally for certain things if I feel the need, and def use tor to connect to my Start9 server but I use my real name and show my face so that alone I really dont see the point of me going overboard.
What do you think about antivirus, someone on YouTube was suggesting it could be a man in the middle, but I don't know what to make of this suggestion.
I stopped using AV early 2000s while still running Windows and never had an issue
To add, Im pretty much convinced the gov surveillance is more using the tech platforms' data collection than the gov itself doing it. That's the things I am more concerned with so avoiding their gathering is where I focus my privacy efforts mostly.
Do you have AdGuard home running for your entire network? If not, why?
Cant say Im really familiar with it.
Quick glance sounds a bit like uBlock, or is they completely different?
Would it be useful in addition to uBlock on all browsers and a private dns services on all devices? Or would it just be needlessly redundant?
uBlock has more advanced features but Ad Guard Home protects your entire network, every device such as Xbox, Smart TV's, tablets, etc
Yea that may be overkill for me. No gaming shit, my tv I only use as a monitor w wifi off. Just my server, my main pc, one pc for testing distros and some de-googled phones. Intenet service in someone else' name too so plailusible deniability
Ah. AdGuard Home could be better because you can add a bunch of known blocklists and be proactive versus being reactive with uBlock. With AdGuard, you will have protection on every network device versus only in the browser via ublock.
For example, if you run any app outside of the browser, ublock won't protect you. AdGuard would.
I'll look into it for sure. Cost is an isssue too. Got the boot over a jab injection mandate in 2022, still recovering financally and things aint quite the same making 25% of what I was accustomed to
old.reddit.com still works for me so far.
What vpn?
proton
Mullvad here
Was just about to test an upload on poster.place ditto but it's redirecting me to nostrudel.ninja? Not a hosted version its directing me to that website...
Ditto has some serious issues from todays updates. Alex said it will take a few days.
You can try now. Looks like he fixed it
poster.place still redirecting rn. I was able to connect to my profile directly and upload a file but after posting it doesn't appear to have gone anywhere... Can't see it on the local ditto tl or my profile.
