Have you had any privacy wins recently? Anything you’ve tried or tweaked to improve your privacy? Anyone who’s listened to something you’ve said? Do you have any privacy enhancing projects or changes you’re working on implementing

I managed to convert someone to Signal this week. Was having reception difficulties with a phone call (both of us in spotty areas) and after a drop out, managed to get them on board with Signal. A very notable quality improvement in the call which helped reinforce to them it was a good idea.

I’m going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.

Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.

    i’ve rebuilt this server multiple times each time i encountered a “gotcha” or a surprise that i had not anticipated and it made some needful component stop working

    I feel that. LOL I will reinstall something over and over until I get to the finished project without ‘gotchas’. Probably, most of mine are benign, but I don’t want to always have it in the back of my head that something I did during set up is now hindering me in the present.

      i have to start all over, the motherboard died; but then again it was almost 15 years old by this point so it was probably going to happen anyways. lol

          this project has always been made out of old or second hardware and this isn’t the first motherboard to die; but thanks for the well wishing anyways.
