I guess a lot of us do some form of privacy/security theatre. I’m at least doing it quite a lot of it, and it’s difficult to stop thinking of new things that could (but probably never will) go wrong.
So instead of hearing how safe and cool your setup is, I’d like to hear how you simplified things and stopped the (hopefully 🤔) needless overthinking.
The only way to have total privacy is no internet and no phone.
The ones who rant the loudest about priavy are always people who don’t have the technical skills to configure a network to fully know how it all works. It actually is possible to have a setup that has so much privacy it is either unusable, or it show a level of grandiose narcissism. What people can do is a lot of little things, and accept what can never be change.
As a starting point, if a person wants to have extremely strict priacy, use GrapheneOS and in F-Droid settings turn off all of the anti-features so no apps are listed with any anti-features. Do not use cell service, and yes that means no data for going out, use a web-based VoIP. On computer/laptop, install OpenBSD, and build a router to run a OpenBSD firewall. All of those steps will instantly have a massive impact on protecting privacy and will have a lot more real world skills to utilize.
