How to Actually Escape the Botnet 

sus amogus

why do you think everything is a "curated" experience

As of now I am more concerned with not letting big tech control my thoughts as I am with not letting them spy on me. By no means am I saying i am sacrificing one for the other btw

Behaviour especially. Mindless scrolling is a plague

They subliminally influence how you think, and then give you the "freedom" for self-moderation on their own platforms. Then what you end up doing is spreading the opinions they want you to spread and the mass starts censoring itself.

I was feeling hopeless until I was introduced to Linux.

Hope is beliving that something will happen for the better sometime in the future. People should be less hopeful.

i used to think that too. the more hopeless a situation is, the more effective your individual efforts become (not to say your efforts immediately become meaningless when things start getting better)

What are Private Networks originally like?

@@seronymus It's still used like that. Examples: a business may use a VPN so that a system administrator can remotely work on a server. A university may use a VPN to allow professors to access the school library from home.

@@seronymus It basically makes you able to access networks that are not exposed to the internet. A very typical (and probably most formal) usage to this date is for accessing corporation/school resources with your own network.

it's worse than you think. VPNs are designed to make it EASIER for the government to take your information. Look up Operation Rubicon.

The world is not ready for his final form.

This is why i have basically given up on perfect privacy. Sure i try to evade the cookie banner(reading mode), try to block as much JS as possible(especially google analytics), use a hardened firefox, ublock and so on and so on, but at the end i'm certain that in some shape or form i'm tracked anyways. My VPN is probably contaminated as i accidentally logged into youtube with it, but well use it anyways when i need it. I have resorted to leave my firefox setup as it is and apply the most comfy measures against tracking. Noscript can be a little annoying at times, but overall it is alright like this. Trying to archive perfect privacy would be like fighting a constant war against any and every website, which gets exhausting after some time.

The real problem is... Could I stop using whatsapp in favor of another messaging app? Well... NO. That's the real problem you are tied to these fucking apps, they are embedded in our social system, I live in Italy, here WhatsApp is used for everything, work, school, talking to your friends, everything, you can't just stop using it. You will have problems at work if you stop using it. Instagram? The same shit, you meet a girl at a party but you were quite drunk, so you didn't get her phone number, how can you contact her? Well... Instagram is the only (socially accepted) way to do it without looking like a creep... It's like a ancient Roman trying to escape the Mos Maiorum... Well, no you can't, you are just fucked. In my opinion the only actually good weapon is... Awareness, knowing that you are being tracked and used.

@@pietrocavicchioli6128 yep and knowing which topics you actually want to communicate through those hostile services. I've more and more live meet ups with friends than writting or calling them stuff.

I subscribe to nextdns and it typically blocks about 20% of my DNS traffic via filters. At 2 bucks a month I consider it worth it.

And now you all have given consent for Google to lable you as a activist or just to make it easy on them "terrorist". :) Good privacy mind of you to give the enemy a heads up what you really think and do. No but really. Everything to do with internet is FUKT. Phones ANY phone that can be called modern is FUKT. Modern computers are FUKT. Modern home networks are FUKT. I hate to write stuff on paper but I mean it is the only got dam thing I can be sure of is secure as long as not a physical attack/camera is watching the papers. Really even a computer not connected to anything but grid power is sus. Since I bet that a serious high end attack can compromise it without physical attack vectors by piggy backing on USB drives or just moving any kind of data block devices between it and a internet connected device to transfers the spying on you and your stuff. Really in IT/Data security there is always something hidden from your control audit reach. You need to nip the problem right in the balls. Where the data leaves and enters your device. It really is the only place you can make 100% sure what happens with your stuff. I mean that outside of malware that encrypts your data for ransomware (this kind of attack is made to spread to everything so you are in danger of it constantly). Computers, even a modern ones with no connection to Wifi, Bluetooth or Enhernate cables and mic/camera, well they are the only reasonable trustworthy tech devices left. Since they can not talk with anyone. So they can not really do anything without being very clearly not what we want. (Blue screen, erase everything just because you said a bad word) Since outside of a ransomware the only attack vector left is to set up a protocol to communicate with hard drives (block devices) and by that mean compromise even a offline device. You can have all kinds of spooky computer and software going on as long as you can audit the dam data that leaves and enters it. So the only REAL feasible solution to privacy is to being able to audit data transfers. That takes skills and dedication. But it is the only reasonable way to make sure what you leak out on the internet. How? Idk really. Not a nut job yet. Not a bot. Just saying that if you can make sure that the data you transfers. ONLY contain what is meant to go down the transfer lanes you are down to physical attack vectors and poor security from your own actions and failings as a user. Like by mistake type in your password where it should not go XD. But even got dam paper printers CAN NOT ***** STOP TRYING TO FINGER PRINT YOU!!!! And SCAM YOU! Agen I hate writing stuff on paper. But I got to say that it is the only way you can store information nowadays safely as a private individual. A real VPN is to drive down to the milk and cigarette store and hand a letter to your contacts. Preferably in a container made of led and hate speech XD I really hope this rant is taken as a joke. But the point is that we are all FUKT. And it is just silly to talk privacy in this day and age. I can only hope it dose not get any worse then it is currently. Imagen if somehow it is feasible to communicate 100% securely over internet. Audit every single bit and run very check possible for tampering. To then have the hardware in the computers relies that they did not get the payload it expected for "safety" and "terrorist" prevention and just nukes everything. Since ofc it can not be right to allow privacy and security. This is the truth and reality. We are not meant to decide anything anymore. Not a nut job. Just talking about the core thing in all of this. Privacy and free speech. Right to repair. Right to own. Etc etc. Being allowed to own yourself even. Right now I do not see it being impossible to stop this stuff from totally hinder you to do stuff. But looking at what repair prevention is doing we can see it being implemented to stop free speech too. Stop any way to use computers and tech without accepting being under control by gov. Or really it is not the gov but the people seeking power and control over others. Gov is in itself good. FYI. You can probably still 100% make sure that data transferred is only the stuff you the user wanted to be in there. But as it is look like we are heading into the possibility of more layers of obscurity some Linux nonsense is not going to do jack shit to solve. We are going to be down to type in every dam character as they did in the 70s 80s since hardware is going to be built to be payload operated for "safety" or "DRM". We are going from hardware that are just power lines and resistors to a world of the power lines being protected by DRM. We are connecting more and more to internet/direct connection to goverment/attackers. There is no where for enterprise or private individuals to go but start going back to pre computer days. Pre 70s. You realize how dangerous that is? To be literately forced back 50 years in evolution? And the big companies do not need to and profit from it? It is scary enough to watch phone review and they say how good google accident is at understanding what your saying. Shina got cameras everywhere so even if you have no device on you the gov know you every move. Every interaction you have. Everything. Are we any different right now? I know for sure we are being striped of our ability to repair and own our stuff. That is no question about that. For what reason? Profit.

Big companies with dozens of experts have vulnerabilities in their email servers, now imagine your average Joe creating his own email server, he will most likely leave backdoors without realizing.

Is "waiting for them to fix it" worth keeping your own files inside strangers computers far far away that you do not have any sort of access to apart from the sugar-coated restricted UI that they hand out to you? Not claiming one should definitely host their own services, but I really do not think one should use any of these cloud services either if they care about their privacy.

@@lodocus1501 If the server it's open source and the files are encrypted, I don't really see a problem

@@ANGELRA open source is misunderstood with secure, nothing prevents a company to change it's source code for their needs and claim they follow the github source code.

it's usually not very hard to maintain. if the only way to access your server is secure (ssh) then you don't really have to worry about anyone getting in. usually installing a server is a one-time thing you just install shit configure it and leave it running forever.

What’s the problem? You don’t want to be looked at?

Well.. that’s the thing. Currently it doesn’t actually bother me so much. But, let’s say our rights begin seriously getting infringed upon. We have to assemble as a unit and resist, what then? We have surveillance devices in our pockets and couldn’t coordinate anything. I’ll admit I’m the paranoid type but I find it to be within reason

Assemblage, exactly. This is why we all really need to start getting together (sooner than later) and build an alternative network(s) start decentralizing and moving people by word of mouth and referral lol off this waste of stolen tax payer dollars, we call the WWW.

The mainstream media (NBC MSNBC I think tried to warn us just recently by airing the spyagency whistleblower who escaped to trumpland.. yeah that country that fox clowns embrace. That one country that’s 2nd in the world in mining crypto, runs ran som wares everywhere and it could turn off our lights, last but not least injects racism and xenophobia in our peoples heads turning us against one another. John Oliver just put out a good one that touches on data issues as well.

And the answer is pretty much "you can't". Unfortunately. His advice can be boiled down to "become an expert in information security to a level that it could be your career" and "don't use the internet unless you absolutely have to". It's probably true, and it's good to know, but it's disheartening and in the end, not super useful to those of us without the time or inclination for a second full-time job.

I think he's great and I love his videos, and I think it's smart that he does that. But, that face matches his voice so well, it's hard to imagine it not being him.

@@userequaltoNull How do you know?

Bro uses 'redpilled'

The best we can do is spread the knowledge. That's what I've been doing. Informing as many people as possible on opsec and the naughtiness of these corporations and governments

while I agree on the part that people usually say "so what if they have my data or spy on me" I don't believe that using open soruce software will stop the government from doing the shit they have planned. It's like, you can reduce the amount of tracking they do to you but if everyone reduces that, a new way of tracking will be implemented or some other shit so that they get their power over you back. The only way you could argue with them and not be their pet is with money.

People implicitly preform risk-reward evaluations for data disclosure decisions on their own. This privacy calculus is subject to cognitive biases, choice architecture, information asymmetries, and other factors which typically result in people making decisions against their own interest. If you want people to care about privacy you need to stop asserting your own subjective risk evaluation and premonitions, and let people make these evaluations on their own. The real problem is that legislation that grants consumers rights to access, modify, delete, as well as limiting the collection, use, and specification of their data is very sparse and needs more attention. It is more productive for privacy advocates to address this problem than to warn about the "risks" of information disclosures when people are capable of making these decisions on their own. Telling people to stop using certain services can actually work against perception towards privacy when people find the reward of using the service to exceed the risks associated with information disclosure.

@Mr Banana How would I go about allowing them to form their own opinion when their own opinion isn't their own opinion? I assume by making them aware of the issues you mentioned, namely information asymmetries.

It’s called irony.

Yes, perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good. I'd so much rather people use ProtonMail (which obeys subpoenas) than GMail (which actively harvests your data and gives you ads when you check your email.) Hosting your own email server is a PITA even if you know what you're doing

I myself am in the trap called being poor and am stuck with the iPhone my ISP gives me with my plan so no GrapheneOS for me so I myself am also nowhere close despite tens, if not 100+ hours of work. Since you have an android phone though, here's a guide that The Hated One recently posted that might help you with protecting your smartphone's privacy, I'm guessing you can't get GrapheneOS but you can implement a few things if you want from this, yewtu.be/8FDIef7tVFg

Opera probably couldn't be spookier, which is one of the reasons some old team members went and started Vivaldi. There are some internal politics around whether it should be open sourced, but the UI is HTML/CSS/JS (and can be inspected, tinkered with, etc.) and they do officially release source code archives containing most if not all of the non-UI code. They disclose exactly what data is collected and where it gets sent to, which has been verified with Wireshark. It's far from an ideal situation, but *for now*, it seems like a solid browser.

I’m quite new to this, what about TOR?

@@itsawill9268 tor is a bit different, it is a browser, but instead or connecting directly to your destination, you connect to a network that scrambles your signal so it is harder to track. It's really useful for privacy, but it's not a goto for general use.

@@dillon1012 what’s a good privacy browser for general use?

@@itsawill9268 This probably couldn't be a more controversial question :p. Firefox hardened with Arkenfox is probably the best way to go, but Librewolf is a good alternative if you don't feel like tweaking everything yourself.

Is he trusted tho?

could yiu elaborate on this idea?

@@thedoode7749 Whenever you enter a webadress, your computer first sends a request to a DNS (Domain Name Service) Server which translates the domainname to an IP adress. Typically the DNS is provided by your Service Provider (which may be subject to local censorship, if they are for example required by law to block certain websites), but third party DNS Services exist. Google DNS is one often recommended because it is fast and censorship free, but propably not very privacy friendly. By running your own local DNS Service, your local DNS server contacts one of the global 13 DNS Root-Servers (which in reality are thousands of machines) to ask for the authorative DNS Server that is able to solve the request you may have and returns it to you. This means that no single server or entity sees all your requests since they get spread out. Pi-hole is a popular DNS adblocker for the raspberry pi that blocks ads on your whole local network. If you search for "pi-hole" or "pi-hole with unbound recursive" I am sure you will find plenty of tutorials and explainations that elaborate deeper on the concepts.

I swear what is the thing with pi hole my routers custom firmware has filtering built in.

@@SzymonPmc Pi-hole isn't the only filtering solution to be sure. There are plenty of usecases where it can be useful however, especially when paired with Unbound. A fair amount of people may be using ISP supplied routers, in which case a custom firmware may not be an option, or delving into something like pfsense or opensense may seem too daunting.
