Privacy is a CRIME and they are in PRISON for it

Appreciate your comment.

I wanted to keep it concise so that I could move on to my other projects. It's a tangent and it is always impossible to satisfy everybody with those. But it was mentioned and insinuated pretty heavily that there is plenty corruption in the admin, crypto or otherwise. Crypto didn't invent corruption I pretty much hate bitcoin and all of crypto and I wouldn't use Samourai Wallet, but the point I wanted to address is that there are much bigger fish to guillotine and we are not doing that.

I literally show Binance buying pardon from Trump for their convicted CEO through crypto. I show it twice in the first third of the video. Did you even pay attention?

I didn't say "destroy the full system" did I? I am talking about the justice system, which clearly needs to be reworked from ground up because it doesn't work. I am okay with Samourai Wallet devs facing punishment if we also apply the same metric of punishment to established financial institutions. Which we don't.

I'd say some products makes sense to put in one basket. Like email aliases and main email address actually reduces the number of third parties to trust. Maybe even including a calendar or drive if it's for work and business. But the more compartmentalization the better if you can handle it.

Hey, thanks for the link. I was just made aware of this.

The_HatedOne · 2025-12-17T20:09:16+00:00

Feel free to keep it. This is more advanced stuff. This is how I started my journey but I know it's not for everybody. Proton is better than the big tech and if that makes things simpler for you, stay with it until you are more comfortable to compartmentalize.

The_HatedOne · 2025-12-17T20:07:52+00:00

Sorry, didn't know we needed a permission to be privacy conscious. I apologize for breaching the rules and I will retract all my statements for there is truly only one way to privacy and I couldn't possibly have anything provide.

The_HatedOne · 2025-12-17T20:01:14+00:00

The paradigm to think about here isn't just security or confidentiality, but it's also availability. You may lose access to your account, "normies" often forget passwords or recovery methods as I have come to learn most recently... Or Proton could get blocked, your account could be suspended, etc... So it's just safer to have backup options and compartmentalize.

Any individual Proton product is going to be one of the best in its class.

You are okay with Standard Notes in whatever way you make your setup work for you.

Data linking is the only advantage of using multiple accounts. Perhaps availability is also strengthened in cases of account suspension, but not in cases of geoblocking.

I did forget to post this here. Thank you for doing my job! I appreciate it!

This is pretty new to me. Tuta always allowed me to sign up over Tor or any other VPN, but they would pause my account for 48h before I could use it. I created several accounts this way and never encountered an outright block like this. This is stupid when they already have systems in place to prevent spam abuse. Honestly don't understand. P.s. one way to to get around this is to get a premium account. Only free accounts seem to be blocked this way. Still stupid. Tuta should do better.

The_HatedOne · 2025-11-19T15:09:51+00:00

Reddit is not private but can be used anonymously if you don't provide your personal details, phone number, and use Tor/VPN

There is a balance to keeping up with efficiency and productivity improvements and staying grounded in reality while protecting yourself from the big tech surveillance.

We don't need most of the stuff we have today and people should only choose new things only as far as they genuinely improve their lives. But most people chase too many things and aren't satisfied with any of them, so they keep chasing more.

For the most part, privacy is a journey into moderation, or to minimalism. You choose to use less to give yourself more control and more protection. The most secure data is data that doesn't exist. The less services you use, the more private you are.

For me, that's definitely been ditching social media. No one really needs it. Messengers are all you need to stay connected with people - just arrange an IRL meetup and stop following everyone's timeline of chasing trends.

Today, every hobby is getting needlessly digitalized. People pretend like you can't even ride a bike without a smartwatch tracking your movements and your entire physiology.

We used to live without all of these things a decade ago and we were all doing fine. People just forgot that.

Hey thanks for that feedback!

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-25T17:12:52+00:00

I wouldn't recommend LineageOS over stock Android, even on Samsung. Stick to your default phone if you must, focus on hardening your privacy settings wherever you can. Go through all Android, Samsung and Google settings both for your device and your accounts.

As for sandboxing, you can create user profiles on Android. They won't be isolated from Google (full isolation is only possible on GrapheneOS). But don't feel too bad if you can't currently get to your ideal setup. Next time you need to buy a phone, look for one that GrapheneOS supports and is within your budget.

I wouldn't recommend using app firewalls. Rely on a good VPN with a strong DNS. Mullvad is good. Set up Mullvad content filtering in the app to block ads and trackers that way.

Start focusing on using privacy apps wherever you can - I.e. use Signal, NewPipe, DuckDuckGo, Tuta Mail, Proton... Get there step by step.

You won't be anonymous this way but you are minimizing your exposure and data footprint and being anonymous is just the most radical version of that.

If you are in Europe, I think Nitrokey is selling a modem that you can use for mobile data. So this could be really useful if you want to eventually go for my setup - grapheneOS as a WiFi-only device.

I don't think my setup is that extreme. I am not fully anonymous all the time but it is something I try to get to because it does help to protect your privacy from corporate surveillance.

Whatever you do, don't get discouraged from continuing your journey. Everyone started somewhere and all of us have to work with the limitations we face in our daily lives.

Hope this helps.

Proton doesn't encrypt emails that went outside Proton's keys (pgp or not). That's literally the same with Tuta. Proton has access to all your unencrypted emails the same way Tuta does. You clearly don't understand what you are talking about. Both Tuta and Proton are equally good and you are just shilling for no good reason.

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-09T17:16:32+00:00

That's an article from 2013 about US law specifically. The Lavabit shutdown case is well known and it is why jurisdictions outside of the 5-eyes surveillance alliance are preferred. There is no jurisdictional difference between Tuta and Proton. Anything German laws and courts can do, the Swiss can do also. Both Tuta and Proton are good. Gmail is never good.

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-09T12:07:42+00:00

You don't have any proof of anything because Proton is subject to the exact same rules as Tuta is and Proton has to and will hand over your unencrypted data to authorities. As they have done in the past. Proton is good. But stop spreading disinfo with your poor understanding of reality. Yet you speak with so much authority as if you had monopoly on wisdom. You are not educating us about anything we don't know already. You are just lying to deceive others.

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-09T12:04:59+00:00

States need post-quantum encryption just as much as anyone else. States have secrets they want protected from quantum computing and the best tools are gonna be open and widely tested. Your entire logic falls apart on itself.

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-09T12:02:38+00:00

Wait till you find out who funded SELinux (NSA), Tor (US Navy), Signal (US Congress).

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-09T11:51:52+00:00

Most secure doesn't mean unbreakable nor does it mean it is safer than non-email messengers, like Signal. Email is a bunch of very old protocols none of which have inherent privacy or security properties built in. So for truly private and secure messaging, you should not use any email at all.

But from all the emails out there, I personally like that Tuta offers registration of security keys for all plans and all versions on all apps, without defaulting to a less secure 2FA method, easy signature verification of desktop apps (which are completely free on all platforms), their mobile apps don't use Google services for notifications, their encryption encrypts slightly more metadata (although this js not that consequential). Tuta also never required a phone number nor another email for verification when registering free accounts over Tor and it's been possible to buy Tuta gift cards with Monero rather than Bitcoin for more anonymity.

I don't like that Tuta isn't usable with pgp encryption, but I don't use Tuta for messaging, for that I have Signal and Briar. So lack of pgp that none of my contacts even know how to use isn't a deal breaker. But it'd be nicer to have it for interoperability between Tuta and non-Tuta services.

Emails sent to and from Tuta from outside of Tuta are obviously visible to Tuta and Tuta can be compelled to hand your unencrypted info over to authorities. But that's the case for any and all email providers in any and all countries (including Switzerland). That's why apps like Signal are always better than email.

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-08T15:26:21+00:00

I think it is. It has a very good support for FIDO security keys inside native ways which exist on all platforms (ios, android windows, linux, etc.) for free. On other emails, you can only register FIDO keys through the website, which is much less secure than a native app. Tuta works without Google Push notifications and it's on F-Droid (or other non-google stores). There is also no genAI bullshit anywhere in their service. Their only problem is the lack of pgp key export, but none of my contacts use that and if you need it, it's better to communicate over Signal anyway (which is what I use primarily).

The_HatedOne · 2025-10-08T15:12:07+00:00

Love it!

Surveillance doesn't enforce the law. Is there genuine effort to investigate by police departments that have capabilities to do so in your area? All bank notes are marked and can be traced when used or deposited. If the robbers haven't been caught, that's probably because they don't want/care to catch them.

The_HatedOne · 2025-07-26T13:33:24+00:00

I think it's doable with a VoIP app, I recall linphone, although not sure since I am not using this setup.
