In the last week:
I started using Syncthing. I was using cloud storage as a way of copying files from one device to another. Syncthing is so much better.
I signed up with Mullvad VPN yesterday.
Deleted my Surfshark account today which I signed up with over two years ago when I didn’t care about privacy.
Finally convinced my sister to start using Signal.
Finally switched from from Windows to Linux (specifically EndeavourOS, an Arch-based distro with a GUI installer).
I also bought a new phone, on which I intend to install GrapheneOS and distance myself from Google’s ecosystem.
I signed up for Proton Mail.
LibRedirect browser addon to switch to privacy-respecting frontends for popular websites.
Tended to my garden. Hard to get info if you don’t post info.
I already use Trisquel; libre kernel; Abrowser; DivestOS; SearXNG; Nextcloud; Matrix; XMPP; Session; Odysee and Peertube; KeePassXC; Tutanota and Protonmail; ProtonVPN. Not sure How much further I can go without going with a Talos II.
- I deleted all my Meta accounts and started using Signal.
- I’m moving all accounts linked to Gmail and Outlook to Proton Mail and Tutanota.
- I’m using many privacy-oriented extensions on Firefox.
- I’m trying to change all software to Open Source if that’s possible.
- I have a Nextcloud and i’m using it to sync my Calendar, Task and Photos.
- I started using Bitwarden for my passwords (and deleted them from all Microsoft, Apple and Google cloud services).
- I’m setting up my home server to host Nextcloud and Bitwarden.
Replaced a lot of apps on my phone with FOSS alternatives.
I apologise for my ignorance, but what’s the concern with Surfshark?
Would be great if some kind person could enlighten me on this, thanks!

Stopped taking my phone everywhere, leave it in a closed drawer when I’m not using it.
It’s actually quite liberating to switch it off every now and then and just go about ones business without it.
