Stop using Windows
Stop using Google
Use a VPN, Firefox with noscript and anti-fingerprinting enabled in about:config
That gets you pretty far. Wizlife is very good for privacy as you avoid things like Facebook and a social network. Those are the things that stop normalfags from following the major steps

>>49390This is good advice. Here's mine:
Step 0: USE CASH.
Step 1: Keep your name and your address separated from each other. In places where you have to use your name, use a PO Box, CMRA, a previous residence, or 'alternative place you might hang out.'
Step 2: no social networks.
Step 3: no Google or Google-derivatives.
Step 4: VPN+Tor Browser
Step 5: Linux or Tails OS.
Step 6: No cell phone (if you must, use Twilio to get a VoIP number).

Use uncucked and outdated processors, not AMD or Intel
Make sure hardware is chinese free
Use a completely open source operating system
Tor browser was made by the government and isn't open source
Torsocks hardly works but you could still use that
Use vpns, not pptp

Also he's never installed a Linux distro by himself.

The privateinternetaccess VPN is running specials right now, you can get a yearly subscription for $3.33 per month. That auto-renews every month, so you can cancel at any time btw.

As a VPN, I would suggest sentinel.co, mysterium.network or privatix.io
They are decentralized VPNs, so there is not one company that controls all the servers. Makes it also much less likely that your data will be sold or accessed by law enforcement or also just be blocked by netflix,…

Stop using steam or simillar shit. Steam is just a social network and as other social networks, it is also monitored.
For communication, use something which gives you full control over data. DO NOT USE fUcking discord. Host your own teamspeak or mumble server instead. If you want just to chat, you can download some open source chat tools from github.
Avoid windows.Avoid macos. Avoid android.
Very soon librem 5 will come out, and maybe we will live to see the day where you will be able to install linux distro on phone just as easy as on pc.

>>49701The price is a bit steep for me. What do you guys think about Ubuntu touch? The list of available devices is pretty small and most of them are outdated hardware but should suffice for my needs.
No.51076
>>51060Because Windows 95 has the most aesthetically pleasing design of any operating system. Especially compared to the flat touchscreen-primary themes are so in vogue nowadays.
No.51077
>>51076Windows 10 default settings is a normal desktop that is similar to 7 and xp.
Yeah the touch tile bullshit is bloatware for the vast majority of users, but for most modern systems the small wasted space isn't functionality important.
Also I have nothing but bad memories of Windows 95. I don't like anything about it and have flashbacks of some of the worst computer fatal errors I had ever had to deal with in my life.
No.51079
>>51077It's not just about space, it's about aesthetics. The raised steel theme of windows 95 evokes a no-nonsense functionality that has vanished from computers nowadays.

By doing really dumb shit that is really obvious and draws absurd amounts of attention to yourself. You know the total opposite of privacy.
Do I really need to explain how triangulation work or how easy it is to track exactly when and where those things are used? Or that it will draw heat from the feds if you use it in the wrong spot?

>>49390I would be a little wary of using a VPN for privacy purposes. All this really accomplishes is shifting your trust from your ISP to your VPN provider. Many of them claim to be "no-log" VPN services, and there have been several instances where these services were hacked and, surprise surprise, it turns out they were logging people. If you truly want to hide your internet traffic, the only reasonably safe option is Tor (I say reasonably safe because it can be circumvented by very targeted exploits, and it's not entirely out of the question that the network as a whole is compromised). However, using Tor is also a one-way ticket to ending up on an NSA watchlist, but then again, so is using an imageboard, probably.
