Run start9 and migrate your shit to Nextcloud.

Run graphene is and and VPN.

Get on nostr and search things people bring up you don't know about and learn a base level about stuff.

Mitnick's Art of Invisibility is full of tips and tricks.

Use a VPN everywhere is the easiest one.

Use a password manager, but not just as a way to remember passwords, but as a way to keep track of accounts you hold open on the internet.

Review it once a year. Close accounts you don't use, and/or delete or obscure personal information before closing the account.

For non-social type accounts that require a username, use random usernames - don't reuse the same handle everywhere if you want to make it harder to locate your presence easily via search engines

Stop using the same email account for everything and use disposable addresses.

There are few alternatives to Gmail, but it can be used well in a private way with a SimpleLogin account paid with Bitcoin and activating pgp for all emails.

And as a client, Thinderbird (either on PC or mobile) in conjunction with OpenKeychain.

On Gmail servers you will only see unintelligible encrypted messages.

Maybe a good beginning.

For starter, not using common or dictionary words as passwords. If you can use separate passwords for each online account. Better to use a password manager. That way, you don't need to remember each password, and it'll also generate a strong password and store it for you. Also, it's good to keep in mind that, it's pretty hard to have good privacy online. Complete privacy is harder even. What you need is a good enough for your case. The more you go down the rabbit hole of making your footprints online private, the more inconvenient your online usage would be. The cyberspace is designed that way. Also, it helps to remember that generally anyone, starting from your ISP, govt., big tech, etc. can snoop on you. So you need to ask what is at stake? How much privacy do you really need and what you're prepared to do? You can switch to more privacy-aware alternatives to popular apps, and so on.

Only spend the effort on privacy where you're receiving a large benefit to your life - otherwise you're not going to sustain the effort.

Don’t type any kinds of secrets or store them digitally as plain text. Whisper it to your friend instead.

Buy an old car to drive around. Don't agree to the terms and conditions of third parties that house your data, like that iPad at the Dr.
