@russell
Also good source of privacy related news is forum.privacytoola.io, forum run by hosts of our local instance (forum is different platform than mastodon)

@russell
Good source of privacy based toots are in this local instance other than that I know of infosec.exchange instance

@darylsun
Encrypted personal and team storage and encrypted git summing up to 250GB of space, available cross platform. Encrypted chat and publicly provable social networks and public PGP keys, and option to host static site using your public folder. Client is open source but server side isn't, and its hosted in America. Some people debate on their ToS, but its legit service imo that could replace PGP keyservers.

@fedilab
I would recommend using some of the hardware wallets (ledger, trezor) and segwit address for start for lower fees of transactions. Keep your 24 seed words always offline and somewhere safe. For cashing out best choice depends on where are you located.

@pugtato
For starters I recommend Ubuntu (you can pick your own desktop flavor, like xubuntu, kubuntu etc) or Linux Mint since its GUI is very similar to windows xp. Those are debian based distros (mint is ubuntu based) and they are well supported by forums if you run into some problems and if you want to play with it. Any Linux distro is privacy upgrade from Windows, but your final OS should be QubesOS as most private if you are running from government or something like that.

@pugtato
Welcome. I think you can learn a lot here and generally on Mastodon since good part of community are Linux users

@igeljaeger
In my case it didn't even start

@igeljaeger
I fixed this problem by changing nvidia driver

@kravietz
Yes, as expected

@jonah
Maybe you added additional blocklists that are giving you false positive. Anyway if you think you have reasonable doubts you can change instance whenever you want, there are plenty of others

One of three reasons why I love Greece

@greyor
I could check it with uMatrix when I get home from vacation, but last time I checked I also got no trackers.

They grow in size because of caching site data, I'm using standard Firefox and it takes 55 mb with couple of addons with cache cleared

@bash
Safer solution is to get a raspberry pi and install pihole to it. User in that way has more understanding and better preview what is blocked and can always whitelist or block more domains, this script is noble cause for sure but I don't recommend running anything without understanding what it is, especially if it can mess up your iptables.

@greyor
In sync instead of synched, I don't think that is even a word
