@swirlz Woah, that's hot
@thenewoil I think the ideal guide should make you doubt the idea that binary ideas (totally private / totally survaled) and technological growth for the sake of it are viable to begin with.
Like an anti guide that only asks further questions and never answers firefox or brave.
@thenewoil
To not follow a guide 100% is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of autonomy and freedom. We ought not to be ashamed of not living in the TOR network.
Privacy can mean different things to different people, a one size fits all guide is as totalizing as the social media algorithms privacy advocates claim to get away from.

@thenewoil I honesty think following guides for privacy is super strange.
To me privacy is something very personal, my desire to be private is not logical at all. I just *feel* weird being watched. To then have a 1 2 3 guide to solving ones personal privacy runs contrary (in my eyes) to the idea that privacy is subjective and not set in stone.
Like, maybe leaving facebook is good enough for you. That should not be something to be ashamed of...

Yeah, that's something I worry about. I only have the gpg key for my YubiKey backed up via USB. I have copies on *four* USB drives, which gives some redundancy but hardware failure still seems like a potential issue.
