That's hilarious XD

Thanks!

So funny story. I spent a couple of hours threat-modelling last year, and then I forgot where I put the docs. Really, I'm just maxing out everything as much as I can without it becoming too inconvenient. I'm mainly trying to reduce tracking and data mining by "evil" organisations (e.g. multinationals, billionaire-run companies, three-letter agencies, GAFAM).

If I find a template, I'll be sure to send you a copy of my threat model.

Nice setup! I think I'll maybe make one of my own!

I have a few questions, though:

• How did you set up your firewall? What did you use and what rules do you have in place?
• How did you harden iOS? I have read up and implemented a number of basic settings to reduce tracking, and NextDNS blocks the rest, but I wouldn't consider my current iPhone "hardened", per se.

I haven't used my tablet in months, but I will always recommend Mull.

I like Okular, but I also use Xournal++.

I do, for three reasons:

1. Hackers. It's unlikely that anyone would hack my webcam, but there's always a chance. Maybe I'm paranoid, idk.
2. Hardware exploits. Three of my laptops are too old for me to update the firmware with fwupd, so I cover the webcams in case there's some critical hardware-level vulnerability which could be exploited; or in case one of the three-letter agencies are in there.
3. Consequences. Despite the incredibly low chances of anything happening whatsoever, the possible consequences are too bad for me to want to risk it.

I'm paranoid, aren't I...

Whoa, really‽

German is also good, but I personally feel that Proton provides a better experience than Tutanota or Posteo.

Ah, now Kaspersky itself isn't a bad AV. However, given how much data AV software has the capacity to collect and where Kaspersky is based, I don't trust it. In that scenario, I may as well switch to Yandex and start using Mail•ru instead of Proton.

If there's anyone out there still using Windows or who otherwise needs an antivirus, just use ClamAV. It's free and open-source, does a pretty good job of finding viruses, can be run as a daemon, and is extensible.

Want a different index? Fangfrisch. Want a GUI? ClamTk. Using Windows? ClamWin.

I honestly find it so strange that it took me around eight years to discover that this was a thing. I was forced to use McAfee, Norton, Kaspersky, BitDefender, and all of the worst AV software on the market before I eventually switched to Linux.

Some videos already have basic DRM; mainly music videos. However, yt-dlp, Piped, and NewPipe can play them just fine.

When a platform is as second-to-none as YouTube, people will always find a way to use it the way they want.
