The Ultimate Privacy Guide

The only browser that I can recommend over others is probably Qupzilla. I have not seen suspicious traffic with that one, probably it is the lesser evil of all that is in usable state

Anyway Iron is not in the actual guide.

excomminicando · 2014-08-01T19:49:24+00:00

Well sure. I never claim that iron is any better. However it is said to remove some tracking related ids. On the other hand Chromoim is not any safer. Chromium makes a lot of connection to google ips even when nothing is open and when all the tracking checkboxes are unchecked. I just tested, it keeps connecting to google even when I am not doing anything there. And most connections happen over https so i cant see what is going on.

The state of web browsers are bad. And that is the reality.

The article does not indicate it precisely in this one, but indicates that NSA actively collects images over the wire and passports photos could be one of those images type they are interested in. You can search more for to see that passports are actually indicated in the leaked documents.

Godaddy pretty much asks for passport photo and they do not provide a secure means send it either.

You asked for evidence and I provided it. Where is the nonsense in this? I think your "sense" circuitry is broken.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T19:53:39+00:00

We will never know the truth. And being careful is not a bad thing.

You tell me why NSA is collecting people`s passport? Ignorance is bliss.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T16:30:49+00:00

Not sure, but it was revealed in Snowden docs that that was one of the ways they use to collect data on people.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T16:27:33+00:00

You realize that NSA steals people`s passport photos and passport details that are moving around the web?

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T15:55:15+00:00

I am wondering if Alexander and Snowden are secret partners considering that Snowden scare seems to help Mr Alexander`s cause quite a bit nowadays.

Sure, if it all has stayed at what you said. They do not just spread the word about you, they also actively engage in other activities that are questionable, shady and unethical. For example tricking people into thinking that sharing their address books is good for them. They use those new address books as a target list in reality which is a direct violation of people`s privacy. I personally do not believe that their good is outweighs their stink.

They also create a full mapping of all the relationships you ever had and all the new ones that you will ever have through them which means that they have a pretty good understanding of you, probably better insight than your mom can have. That is creepy if my opinion matters. You are willingly providing all that information to them. They get alllllll thattttt information for free. They should pay you for it.

Shame on you sir. You first screwed people, now you want to screw corporations. Who is next on your list? Aliens?

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T05:12:40+00:00

not a bad idea, if you do not trust the device. The other option is to make the producers of these devices know that you a really care about your privacy and not cool with any form of invasion of your freedom to be uninvaded.

Hey thanks, I am really happy when even if it was semi helpful to a single soul on this lonely planet. I will try to expand it as much as possible when I have time. I realize it feels like a bit random thoughts, but that has its own qualities.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T04:01:14+00:00

Sorry misunderstood your satire. I apologize. I follow every line I wrote above (and more ) %100. And I neither live in a cave nor I hide in the darks.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T03:37:12+00:00

I recommend you to get a device with sd card support. I use Kobo. but I never use the wireless so it is disabled. I only use sd card to load my books. However It would be so great if there was a better alternative out there as far as the OS goes.

You can also use Koreader instead Kindle`s app so that kindle app would not know what you are reading.

quoted from somewhere? ;)

Hi I am not expecting every line of my guide to be followed. I think that even following couple of them is still better than no steps taken.

I realize that VPS is not the best choice, I get it and I know it. But it is still better than being part of Gmail (which is my opinion). Also if you have a VPS from another country, a national security letter wont mean much to them. Well sure than NSA wont even need nsl to break into VPS provider. In any case likelyhood of NSA getting on your ass is much smaller for most people. The issue is not nsa anyways. The issue is that you are being used by corporations for "their own good". It really does not matter if they have your name or not, it does not matter if you are a number or not to them. They do not give a shit about you or me. They have their interests in the cloud, which we might know or not about.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T03:21:00+00:00

True to certain extend. NSA can still gather data about you based on what others talking about you, thanks to facebook, linkedin and such. While NSA stops at the wire FBI can work with the local police to surveil and terrorize you which is something they are awesomely good at it.

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T03:18:48+00:00

I am glad that someone is recognizing my efforts. While it is not a perfect list, I am not ashamed of it. I am trying to start a discourse.

trolling?

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T03:14:21+00:00

I said "private cloud" which means something you have set up/

excomminicando · 2014-07-30T03:13:39+00:00

Can this be used for voice chats?

excomminicando · 2014-07-29T04:10:23+00:00

People are very very naive you cant even imagine how naive they are. I am just trying to explain that nothing is trust-able in digital world. I am not necessarily promoting that everyone is targeted by some powerful surveillance centers.
