Hi all, a shy try to awake this community again :)

Whats your daily-routine for privacy, what are you using, what are you not doing?

Short summary of me:

Phone -> LineageOS
VPN -> Per perimeter (LAN, Mobile) -> different VPN providers
Home network (More for security but also helps detecting privacy invasive applications) -> Firewall, IDS and ISP router is bridged
Payment -> Cash where possible (Saved me some trouble when card machines were offline and most had to go somewhere else to have a meal)
Browser -> Three to four different ones, per usage I use a different (Media, communication, bank etc)
Browser extensions -> UblockOrigin, Decentraleyes, User-AGent-Switcher and NoScript
Browser cache/history -> deleted once a month (I do not use credentials saved inside browsers)
Online Calls -> Matrix
OS -> Linux only household
Mail -> Different providers and own domain with catch-all, so if a company sells my mail I will see it because it is COMPANYNAME@MYDOMAIN.COM

Thats on top of my head, what are your takes?

Online Calls -> Matrix

I’ve stayed away from matrix because the flagship node is Cloudflared. It demonstrates competency issues by those behind the tech. There is a disconnect between what they claim to stand for and their ops. Matrix is supposedly decentralised but whenever I am invited to a matrix room it is on the Cloudflared flagship instance. If people using it don’t even grasp the optics issues then they are essentially in a different league.
