  • Thanks for DM tip, I didn’t think about it, but I guess that explains the need for something like the matrix protocol. Only thing i’ve ever hosted myself was a simplex chat smtp/xftp server on a vps. I basically just closely followed a guide from simplifiedprivacy with a readymade script and already knew how to ssh into stuffs. Do you recommend hosting a one person instance strictly as an experiment to verify that nothings being tracked? Or would concentrating my lemmy/piefed use strictly through a self-hosted one person instance account help to ensure nothing but what I’m ‘intentionally doing’ is tracked? I’m looking to get sold on hosting, but I’m also not really in a spot to waste money on another vps just for fun.

    Also I really need a good resource to finally stop confusing privacy/anonymity/other similar security concepts. Thank you greatly for the patience and help







  • You strike me as a user who’d benefit greatly from minimizing tool counts–this is a lot of steps for what a small pocketbook and pen can accomplish.[Also very little can match the pen/paper combo’s security levels]

    With all that said, I know paper can’t grab your attention on its own, for this reason I overlap with tuta calendar (Which should be a reasonable level of security and convenience imho).

    When you using that many separate techs, it has to almost feel like the tools themselves require more attention and care than the work you need planned and structured.
