I use MullvadVPN, GrapheneOS and Linux but I also search for any more apps not like OSes. What’a your favorites?

    I use open-source applications that don’t require internet access for tasks that can be done perfectly offline, which is great not just for privacy but for many other reasons as well.

    Right now it’s whipper, beet, Navidrome and Symphonium.

    I’m buying cheap CDs in thrift stores and ripping them and really enjoy listening to my own music on my own devices.

    Some outside what others may say. Depends on what you’re trying to make private.

    Self-hosted Vaultwarden/BitWarden, SearXNG, and Firefox Sync. All things missing from your list to privatize the web.

    Signal/Matrix for chat.

    Organic Maps when you don’t need traffic for privatizing location.

    Self-hosted Nextcloud for file storage.

    And Obtainium (and gam for Linux) to break away from the stores themselves.

    Openwrt on my flint 2 With adgaurd/pihole I know its not technically an app, but lots of people forget there routers exist and are a very big security hole

    You would not believe what my samsung tv pings

    Tiktok (somehow came preinstalled)

    Hulu(we dont have a hulu account)

    Tubi(we dont use tubi)

    Amazon(it seems to be for samsung tv plus)

    I ended up blocking everything except amazon, samsung tv, and netflix on the dns level

    Its also really good for stopping non power users (aka family member’s) from getting malware/phished

    –edit fixed formatting

        Ones like Lemmy fit in fine to my threat model. They enable me to use privacy tools up-to-and-including Tor routing, without a phone number or other personally identifying info (you can’t do those with many other social media platforms). I can use the Fediverse pseudonymously, and if I ever want to, anonymously.

        I’m not hiding this conversation from you, but I am hiding my identity from companies.

          Ah yea reddit seems to hate TOR.

          Not to mention that most subreddits have a soft ban on new accounts. Extremely infuriating.

          Lemmy seems so welcoming to TOR users, I mean I had to fill out an “application” but I just used a temp email. Lovely place, hidden behind anonymity, well kind of… as long as the NSA doesnt suddenly spend the entire US budget hunting me, I’d be anonymous. They got bigger fishes to catch.

        Why?

        Cromite is excellent.

        Too bad it’s chromium based, but works a whole lot smoother and snappier than Firefox based browsers, oh and safer as well… So for the time being, Cromite it is.

        Librewolf on desktop Linux is my weapon of choise.

            Well who knows?

            I have no problem switching to an alternative is Cromite bellies-up tomorrow.

            For now though I’ll stick with it.
