Hello, I’m going to be getting a new computer soon and have thought about linux. Questions inside

Jump

  • Agree to that, especially for video cards and Wi-Fi. These two can be hard to deal with... If your laptop is Wi-Fi only and you don't have a USB/Ethernet adaptor you may not be able to connect to the net at all

    • What's the best way to prevent IPv6 from leaking when using Wireguard?

    Jump

  • Yes, agree with you, especially your last comment: disable entirely IPv6

    • Keyboard spyware?

    Jump

  • Hahaha... 😁

    • is Adguard Lifetime worth it?

    Jump

  • I honestly prefer to have Nebulo + TraclerControl combined. I never saw any ad on my mobile. Nebulo is great because it uses privacy-focused DNS server, while TrackerConrrol identifies and blocks any tracker as you want.

    • College Board shares SAT Scores with Facebook, TikTok, and others

  • Buy popcorn and Walt for lawsuit...

    • Which search engine should I use?

    Jump

  • Totally agree...

    • Thoughts on Lokinet?

    Jump

  • Same, Session is great because it focus on privacy. You can contact people only by knowing their public ID but you don't know their private ID which is used by the user to decrypt the messages. As there is no central server, nothing is kept outside of your local Session instance. Pretty decent to me.

    • Which search engine should I use?

    Jump

  • Of course... I can't even picture myself not using a VPN, I prefer to ditch anything that prevent me to protect my privacy

    • Keyboard spyware?

    Jump

  • Absolutely every website you visit or app you use, if they track such info of course.

    • Which search engine should I use?

    Jump

  • Oh, very good points you mention here, definitively few red flags. As for the unusual traffic for your IP I experienced it because I'm using a VPN

    • 2FA app

    Jump

  • I say Aegis... He he, great app

    • Which search engine should I use?

    Jump

  • Can you tell us why Qwant wasn't a good choice for you? I heard they work hard on respecting privacy while providing good results... So I am curious about your experience

    • Keyboard spyware?

    Jump

  • Not worse, but less repeatable. You don't see any difference in typing, it just help reduce fingerprinting

    • Keyboard spyware?

    Jump

  • Keyboard is absolutely a thing to be careful with. On Android mobile, use OpenBoard for example. On computer, if you use Linux, also install kloak [https://github.com/Whonix/kloak], a tool that slightly delays randomly your keystrokes to help you hide your typing pattern that can definitively identify you

    • Privacy basics, can anyone help?

    Jump

  • It's important to distinguish privacy, anonimity and security.

    • Ublock origin

    Jump

  • Mulch, focus on security (same as Bromite), OE Mull, focus on privacy, both can be installed from F-Droid

    • Any recommendations for a privacy friendly smart watch?

    Jump

  • Choose a smartwatch that supports Gadgetbrige, a free, open source and great OS for smartwatches

    • My ISP has taken total control of my network

    Jump

  • Change iSP if you can, ans un any case you should use your own router running OpenWRT to have full control over your own network
