How important is a VPN to you?
And if you use one, are you happy with it?
I'm trying to get more into privacy and security and VPN is currently a struggle for me (and it seems also for some people in my social circle). It's mostly cost, effectiveness, but also connection issues (not being able to connect to servers, not reaching websites, sometimes slower speed.

A list of privacy tips
I've collected a lot of privacy tips over the years, ranging from somewhat common to very niche. After seeing this post, I wanted to share them, along with ways to mitigate each of them. I've tried to find sources for each of them, but some of them simply don't have good sources. You can help by finding good sources (Wikipedia, research papers) covering the specific topic. As with all my posts, this is not AI-generated, just well-structured. ... read full post

Stealth, incognito reddit browsing
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.cosmos.unredditAn awesome app I just discovered for browsing reddit links. Like the rest of you I've abandoned reddit but a lot of research on the web takes you to reddit. It's unsafe to browse the main site. This app is fully incognito and doesn't require an account. It's also gorgeous. It could potentially go inactive soon due to an API change. Last update was also in June but they fixed a crash this morning so someone's still working on it. ... read full post
