🔒 A compiled checklist of 300+ tips for protecting digital security and privacy in 2024
I don't have accounts at any major online businesses, except Visa. Can't really avoid that one easily.
My browsers block connections to trackers and 3rd party cookies. Sometimes scripts too, for good measure, and some selected stuff from user.js (https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js). Separate profiles for each service just to make really sure important stuff doesn't get affected by casual browsing, and vice versa.
No google- or apple- owned phone. Phoning home from the PC is also at minimum - just Firefox does it and the package manager.
It's not total privacy because for some interactions you want to share your details, like payment info, but what I get is that I know where I pierce the boundary.
I use Peergos[0] for E2EE storage, doc editing, sharing media, calendar, kanban boards and social media. (Disclaimer: I also work on Peergos).

- macos, following https://github.com/drduh/macOS-Security-and-Privacy-Guide for hardening (I haven't compared this to other hardening guides, but doing something is better than nothing)
use a network snitch[1] on desktop and mobile. The original slogan says it all: makes the invisible visible. i’d love to use a disk snitch too, but no exist yet afaik.
it’s interesting to see firefox or any other legitimate app i’m using make many unsolicited requests to weird domains. it feels good to interactively deny those connections.
make sure that cloud[2], which includes git hosts[3], are untrusted. unencrypted data should never hit remote. keys should never leave local.
consider the tradeoffs with online interactions. engaging with other humans in public on github and hackernews is likely worth. engaging in impassioned op-ed debate with bots on engagement monetization platforms like twitter or youtube is likely not.
