Greetings everyone, my name is Neil! I recently finished reading almost all of the PrivacyGuides.net , well, everything! Now I know this is not an interdiction post, so I wont say too much more, here is my question: What are some software’s/services mentioned that where not talked about in the priv…

True. I was scared for years before I finally said fuck it and tried it. I felt stupid for not trying it earlier because the set up was relatively easy and I was irrationally scared.

I’m eagerly awaiting Tor-VPN leaving beta :smiley:. On another note, you mentioning VSCodium reminded me that i would be remiss if i failed to mention that I use Emacs. Though i guess this might technically already be recommended by Privacy Guides, since they recommend Org-mode.

Woah there. These are open source tools that do not host or allow any illegal content. TY for those guides, I’ll check out duckstreams.

Before I switched to Linux I really appreciated Quantum to help update ports on qBittorent while using ProtonVPN.

For RSS I really like Capy Reader on Android and RSS Guard for Windows.

If we are allowed to suggest tools I would also reccomend DuckStreams and Duck Guides.
