I just don't worry anymore, minimum usage of anything online, more sharing with family and more time in nature, fuck dihital

Compartmentalize different usages to different communication devices / computers.

You can mitigate standing out from having a small digital footprint by putting up a front digital persona or generating noise from your devices.

Our metadata is collected 24/7 out of our digital footprint and correlated non stop, any weak link in your OpSec exposes you and I believe is impossible not to make mistakes. I just hope I can stay as private as possible to avoid Cyber criminals

Crazy, I guess is a lost fight, Is it?

I will suggest a minimal digital corporate footprint, that should suffice to keep you invisible to most cyber criminals except of those working for your government, they have all the corporate footprint about every citizen, and that includes what you think is your personal data coming from those "free" services and social networks most use.

Thanks for sharing this

I guess health is not big in Nostr

So few replies, this is huge!

Today, after a long discussion about best OpSec practices I thought it will be nice to share with the Nostr community, and read what others have to say about it,

There are many here in #Nostr that are #privacy advocates and believe they know enough, they use what they believe is a secure OpSec:

1. No corporate social networks, that includes LinkedIn or not sufficient decentralized ones (whatever that means for them).

2. No Messenger Chat app that requires a mobile phone number.

3. Linux of course; so they say; although the majority keep using iOS or Microsoft as their default OS... (I am guessing of course, but I am quite positive it is a good guess ... ).

4. A Pixel 7 or higher rooted with the right OS.

5. A VPN, one of the few that do not log (so they say) and you can pay cash or LN BTC or XMR. Most do this wrong BTW...

6. The right Private DNS, never a corporate one...

7. A private email address, so most will use Proton or Tuta... Odd how there are only few options with no KYC, if it is a niche, the fact that there are no more options is suspect, two companies only... they become a honeypot.

8. They use FOSS as much as possible for all their work and location apps.

9. GPS OFF as a norm. OpSec matters here, most people do this wrong.

10. A nonKYC eSIM with only data, few providers, silentlink being one of the favorites.

11. A powerful router with firewall and Pihole or adguard, plus built in support for VPN (most do this wrong)

12. Self hosted cloud, no commercial cloud never (most don't do this, they rely on the usual privacy oriented, the ones very well known, there are about 3...) Are you paying attention?

13. Their own BTC Node

14. A privacy oriented browser, there are not that many, Mullvad Browser, hardened with extension Firefox (requires work), hardened with extensions Brave. Most use the same extensions, for they are the recommend ones, Have you wondered why they are not built in already in the browsers?

14 Tor Browser for research, specially those that are devs or white hats... (no black or grey hats here, right...)

16. Keeping all your software and OS for all devices up to date, which is recurrent workload, failing to do that could lead to exploits and exposure to cybercrime.

And more, but this is a simple summary.

Now the best part:

All of the above, makes you, in a way, a target, for your digital footprint is of a minority, easy to identify, you are decently informed and therefore you follow the same rules and use the same tools as the rest of a small tribe, a very distinct one, not that hard to identify with the right tools that constantly analyze metadata.

Is there a better way?

In my opinion, yes.

1. If you keep your current OpSec, study and do it right, most do it wrong and generally due to lack of discipline and endurance of the annoyance of cyber security, which is very inconvenient, end up being not only known targets but vulnerable high end targets.

2. To be part of the large noise made by the clueless normies is the optimal play but that is an OpSec very few will have the discipline, time and knowledge to do correctly. Won't discuss the know how here. Hire a #cybersecurity expert if you want this and don't know how is done.

What are your thoughts?

Here:

The current language of Diplomacy should not be the language of an aggressive predatorial nation as the United States of America nor any other non neutral nation.

As of today, there are no neutral nations in the planet and therefore not a single native language us ideal for diplomacy.

Esperanto is the best available option, modern and rich.

Fight back for unity and freedom.

How?

Easy, look at how they have you divided

1. By Language:

Make Esperanto your universal language, don't give power to one nation's language, that gives power to that nation and their allies and divides you.

2. By Religion:

Move away from any religious extremist line and work to unify them all into one, work hard on it, this will take at least two generations and it starts with education and legal reform removing the right to all religious organizations, they should not exist, the faith does not need a company tax free with massive funds unless it's purpose is to manipulate and control, open your eyes.

3. By land:

That will take you longer and is the last step, but once you manage to solve the first two, you can start the slow process of human reunification removing borders and creating an earth nation.

How long it would take? unknown, you are so young, few centuries perhaps, but the seeds are there, nurture them!

MS interest will always be to support his huge Bitcoin bag, that being said, by doing so, he had become a major influencer in the arena. His stand related to self custody and now the proof of reserves is a clear indication of where he stands, slowly but surely leaning more and more towards the monetary side and away from the Bitcoin ethos. This should be, IMO, to the surprise of very few.
