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?

Thanks for the insights, I'm also in the process of moving to more self-hosted services. Just finished transferring my media library to a Jellyfin instance for local movie/series watching. I also plan on self-hosting Matrix and Seraxng, will be my next project for the holidays.

I'm long thinking about installing the PI-Hole, I should just do it, not much work to do for a great addition to the network.
