There are some things on this list that I have not done, but the vast majority... guilty.

As a non technical person I can testify to the compound effect of pursuing privacy [different journeys but the effect is the same]:

> may start with WANTING to go through and uncheck every box of 'cookie settings' just because

> stop giving away your real info to any person/company

> delete all social platforms except Nostr

> you ditch gmail for a more 'private' service > you realized email hasnt changed since 1995 and become an early adopter of pre-lokinet Session

> realize all shitcoins are traceable as fuck including Bitcoin and Ztrash

> start learning Monero like it's DAY ONE at cypherpunk school

> throw away all devices that are not Linux or GrapheneOS

> encrypt everything at rest

> upgrade to custom firmware [coreboot]

> disable wifi [physically or bios] and use a removable adaptor and ethernet at home

> faraday pouches and sleeves on main travel gear

> strict use of FOSS apps in personal and professional life

> onboard or force others to use the same apps as you

> pay for VPN, data esim and parallel markets with XMR or cash

> ereader shelf becomes 'Extreme Privacy', 'Permanent Record', 'Art of Deception' among others

> sit facing away from CCTV in public places, always aware of surroundings

> secure tax residencies in 2 other countries with offshore bank accounts

> only use PO Boxes for deliveries

> build your own surveillance detection devices

> start learning reticulum mesh networking and radio comms

Low threat model but learning this shit is addictive asf. Feel free to keep the thread going with your journey
