Read this if you don't want to have your life ruined by federal agents or doxxers, or if at the very least you value having a little bit of privacy. Above all, use it as an introduction point. Do your own research. First of all, if you are reading this, YOU probably will be targeted some day. I thought I wouldn't, because I was doing nothing wrong, but I was WRONG. If you journey into smaller parts of the internet where people like to say the n-word all day, you WILL be targeted. It might be law enforcement. It might be an angry twitter artist. Either way, the most important thing you can do to protect yourself from a life of misery (which I failed at) is to take this seriously and protect your personal information. You might think to yourself, "I'm not important enough for anyone to care", but that isn't true. That's what I thought, because I wasn't doing anything illegal, but it didn't matter. Turns out that tyrannical governments don't have very good judgement. This is not going to be structured very well. It serves as an introduction to good privacy practices and how to avoid getting yourself fedded or doxxed. DO RESEARCH YOURSELF AND DONT TAKE EVERYTHING I SAY AS FACT. While all of my opinions are always correct and the most based (evendoe my opinions change), I could be wrong. And the last thing I would want is someone to blindly follow me into their own demise. Anyways, most important step is to limit how much personal information you give out online. This includes what emails you use for what things, for example if you used an email with your bank and you use the same email to sign up for evil hacker forum or whatever, you are going to get found out through that email. Same thing applies to usernames. Never use the name username twice, unless you specifically want two profiles to be linked. For example, your pedocord and steam (DRM cuckhell) accounts might use the same names since you use both with the same friends you groom in your server. However, if you explicitly want an account to be completely separate from all else (anonymous) (you should be doing this with most of your accounts anyways) make sure to use tor or a vpn like mullvad (pay with monero) to create a NEW email just for that account. It is good to use browser profiles to categorise each thing based on how you want accounts to interact with eachother. You might have a profile for school/work, one for generic youtube stuff, one for your xitter account and any associated social profiles

As for email, I recommend nothing. Literally nothing is safe. If you think your shitty "muh based in switzerland" email provider means anything, it doesn't. "But it's heckin end to end encrypted" actually, 99.99% of the time, e2e encrypted email services aren't actually e2e. With tutamail you can do true e2e, but it is extremely inconvenient. If you want to send end to end encrypted emails (or this can even be used for just regular messages), use PGP. But you shouldn't be using email for most communications anyways. Only use it when you have no other choice, which is usually exclusively for work/school. Anyways, I would use protonmail/tutamail for long-term use. Don't use any of protons other services, otherwise you'll end up trapped in an ecosystem. I'm pretty certain proton is a honeypot, and tuta is probably fedded, so use these only to sign up to other services. For example if you need an email for some forum about agriculture (something the police or a doxxer will not chase you up on, something you don't say the nword on) or for youtube or pedocord or some shit, go ahead. With proton and tuta you get the assurance that they (probably) won't shut down as email providers, which is what you want for some accounts. You want stability. Now for accounts you don't want to be associated with anything else, chuck on mullvad vpn (or tor) and signup to tuta or cock.li or pissmail. Whatever suits your needs. Go for tuta if you need something long term. USE DIFFERENT EMAIL ADDRESSES FOR EVERYTHING Use a desktop email client, when you can. Webmail is slavemail.

I NEED TO EMPHASISE AGAIN, DONT USE THE SAME USERNAME TWICE. THIS IS WHERE I FUCKED UP AND RUINED MY LIFE. DONT DO IT. Every time you make an account, use a generic username. Make sure there are no patterns. Avoid numbers, preferably. Use a random word generator (use it from your password manager) to get inspired. Don't think, or you might make a correlation that could fuck you over. "But I'm a heckin microcelebrity" good for you faggot, that doesn't mean you need to use the same username everywhere. Use it on your xitter, pedocord or whatever social network (only if you talk to the same people on the social network as you do on xitter, you need to think about why you are compartmentalising things), and nowhere else. Every account is a target where you could get your whole identity leaked from, so obscure the targets by not using the same username. If every target is clear as day, all with your special unique username plastered all over them, a doxxer or the feds will just shoot at every single target until they hit the one that leads them to your real identity. Now, as for how you should store all these online identities, organise them and their passwords in a password manager called KeePassXC. It encrypts your passwords and has a bunch of features. The only "downside" is it runs locally. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE BACKUPS!!!! AT LEAST ONE AT HOME, ONE AT A DIFFERENT PHYSICAL LOCATION, and (optionally, I don't do this) one online. It is encrypted anyways so it should be mostly fine, but the issue is where the fuck do you store it? Well what I would do is just open a blank notes chat in signal and upload my keepassxc file there. That's probably the best cloud storage you'll get. MAKE FUCKING BACKUPS, IF I DIDN'T I WOULD HAVE LOST LITERALLY EVERYTHING ONLINE. Use different browser profiles for each of your different online activities, that helps you to avoid cross-contamination. I'd recommend Librewolf (just make sure to turn off "clear history when LibreWolf closes" unless you want a profile that doesn't keep history/cookies) if you like Firefox, but if you like Chromium then Brave is…… okay. I wouldn't recommend it. It's better than everything else, but just use Librewolf, you loose nothing by doing so.

Whenever you need to be extra spooky anonymous, tor is the best option, but if you really want every trace of whatever shit you're doing to disappear, create a bootable Tails OS usb. It is an OS that runs in the RAM and because of that your local activity can't be detected via forensic analysis, however it doesn't change people see from you online. However it runs everything through tor which is good. I would use Mullvad VPN most of the time, when doing everything, just switch to a different server between different containerised tasks. VPNS DO NOT MAKE YOU ANONYMOUS, you're only moving the burden of proof from your ISP to Mullvad, but you're making it a lot harder for feds/doxxers to find you. Also using different servers between every task makes it a lot harder for websites to band together to track you. ProtonVPN is probably a honeypot. You can't pay with monero. FOR PAYMENT use Monero wherever you can. It is your best friend, it is a cryptocurrency with a private blockchain so nobody can see where your money comes and goes, or how much you have. The IRS hates it! Buy bitcoin first, then just flip it into monero. Find some service that does that for you. As for what Operating System you use, Linux is the only one that doesn't spy on you. Except Ubuntu, that shit definitely spies on you. Use Linux Mint or PopOS if you have to be a noobuntu user, or use Fedora if you want that bleeding edge without the autogynephilia of Arch Linux. Gentoo is the best distro of course, but unless you're autistic you don't need it. MAKE SURE YOU USE FULL DISK ENCRYPTION! USE A SECURE PASSWORD, 4-6 WORDS LONG WITH RANDOM NUMBERS IN BETWEEN! SOMETHING YOU CAN MEMORISE AND TYPE BLINDFOLDED. And REMEMBER, your disk is only inaccessible once you FULLY SHUTDOWN OR RESTART THE COMPUTER. If you just lock your screen overnight, it isn't locked. The feds will easily be able to read the contents of your drive. QubesOS is the best for your privacy, but you will never be able to play games or use your resources to their full potential on it. It really bloats up your system. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are Edward Fucking Snowden Avoid installing software that you don't need. Use flatpaks and not apt or whatever system package manager you have, because flatpaks are sandboxed and can't snoop on the rest of your system. Use flatseal to manage permissions, and use it to cut off network privileges to shit that doesn't need wifi (like obsidian, for example). This is just part one, I was
