opsmg

A gpg alternative

opmsg is a replacement for gpg which can encrypt/sign/verify your mails or create/verify detached signatures of local files. Even though the opmsg output looks similar, the concept is entirely different.

Its fine if you store them encrypted and your private keys are offline. Bitwarden works that way

CookieAutodelete shoud work, if not install multicontainer addon if you are using Firefox, you can isolate Discord then.

@cheese_n_krakens Something is wrong, delete cookies and cache. You can install CookieAutoDelete on your browser to clean them for you

You can remove preinstalled uneccessary apps from your android phone without root access using adb tool, I just got rid of HiSearch from my Huawei and its just beautiful. You can search for your device in particular but principle is same. How to do it is here:

Will do, after I get my other SIM card. Should have it in maybe a week or two.

Simple DNSCrypt is a simple management tool to configure dnscrypt-proxy on windows based systems. Simple DNSCrypt simplednscrypt.org/

@rain@niu.moe There is no best one, you trust your DNS queries to whomever is your DNS provider. Good provider uses some sort of encryption for your DNS requests (like DNS over HTTPS, DoH in short)
and uses DNSSEC for additional security in authentication. For starters I recommend quad9, 9.9.9.9 because it has DNSSEC and DoH and it uses some blocklist for suspicios domains. For "more" secure servers you should check out opennic.org/

@kravietz I'm going to vacation soon, time to get second SIM card for Signal and put it in my profile

tiny thing to fight surveillance capitalism 

urls often contain tracking information added to the end of them. when you are linking articles, stuff like the "utm_source" and "fbclid" sections allow people to track where you got the link from and how you are spreading it. this allows cops & corps to map out social groups.

while you can remove that stuff by hand, there's a firefox/chrome addon called "neat URL" that comes with an existing blocklist that automatically cleans off a lot of that stuff.
