Indeed

Cloudflare’s free CDN offering is a MiTM (you use their certificates ONLY to be able to go through their network). Adding to this, they control a lot of Internet infrastructure (comparable to Microsoft and Google). I hate all of these companies and specifically use Quad9 till I get my own DNS running. It probably doesn’t matter to the end-user but I’m happy to see a technical crowd who maintains my ideals on big tech on Lemmy

DEFCON?

The way I use YT Music is in the browser with an adblocker. Then, play a song you like and start the radio. YT usually has an excellent algorithm handling music recommendations in such cases

In that case one should install a MFA application via a Linux chroot on their laptop. Throw away both the phone and SIM

You could go into infosec but honestly the industry in general does security because of regulations. They consider it a massive cost centre.

Pentesting is always an option but it requires considerable skills. Otherwise just look towards government security contracts

Yeah any FOSS OS that can do a router

Option A modified: get a router, install OpenWRT, install wireguard, get a VPS, create a tunnel, profit

I suppose you could do that. Maybe putting an extra layer in one shoe will help with a limping posture if you’re willing to go that far, but nothing is foolproof against AI

Contributing directly to Firefox and reducing the dependence on Google should be three best bet

Walking then. I do not have any solutions against facial recognition like mass surveillance other than randomising your patterns

VPN provider can see your IP and then get subpoenaed?

Connecting directly to the VPN will still give away your IP unless you do that from a public location (which is not a bad idea). As for sitting around, select new coffee shops and find angles where cameras can’t see you. Make it an irregular schedule

Use public transport, wear baggy thrift store clothes, preferably masks on. Will fool everything but the sophisticated (and expensive) AI systems. Won’t work if you’re in the UK or China because their governments are insane

1. Purchase spare chromebook (with cash)
2. Purchase spare SIM (cash)
3. Get TOTP working with spare SIM, link FOSS authenticator app, delink phone number.
4. Throw away SIM.
5. Get a flash drive, wipe, load videos on it.
6. Go to public location, sign into Google account from there, upload video.
7. Remove battery from Chrome book after uploading video, only ever plug it into power in the proximity of WiFi hotspots which can’t be traced to you.
8. Preferably don’t bring your phone with you since they can track you through that

No, the sensor will be in the brain, it will just transmit encrypted packets of the information it collects over WiFi or microwave.

If they can read your brain, this is a very simple exercise

Well, whatever works. Your example wouldn’t need a reverse-proxy.

Well, running your own DNS server will also give you eSNI. And Cloudflare still doesn’t know anything

People already talked about hosting your own DNS, let me add that a reverse proxy would be used for something like mapping myhome.local:8000 to myhome.local/jellyfin.

You might want to study more about SNI. Your ISP knows anyway
