as an example. and also request, I've been trying to set up a private e-mail for like half an hour, and everything either shuts down when it sees a VPN or requires a phone number. is there an alternative?
what's the cheapest way to get a number for SMS online?
how to crypto? from cash green dot to secure(ish) wallets
best operating systems for noobs who don't want their computer to snitch on them (quite so hard)? (I use qubes, but I'm firmly intermediate)
messaging things? (matrix is the standard right now, but you cant use video or voice with their app, which makes me v. sus)
least snitchy most useful VPNs?
phones that wont snitch, or how to get a rootable corporate phone+basic guide for minimal snitching?
things to watch out for like printer watermarks, etc?
useful programs/items to have for your safety?
Proton VPN is the best I've found. They have their own email too which seems to be the most secure email available.
There's been allot of talk about signal being sus lately but it's open source and has been reviewed many times, it's solid. Plus if you set up end to end encryption basically the only way to crack it is for someone to physically have your phone.
For a normal OS Debian Linux is good but if you need something super secure check out tails you boot it off a usb stick and it loads into ram only. Once you pull the stick out of your computer all history of what you did is gone forever. There is no trace what so ever.
