The Privacy Iceberg

This is original content. AI was not used anywhere except for the bottom right image, simply because I could not find one similar enough to what I needed. This took around 6 hours to make.

Transcription (for the visually impaired)

(I tried my best)

The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

The tip of the iceberg is titled "The Brainwashed" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing to hide". The logos depicted in this section are:

The surface section of the iceberg is titled "As seen on TV" with a quote beside it that says "This video is sponsored by...". The logos depicted in this section are:

An underwater section of the iceberg is titled "The Beginner" with a quote beside it that says "I don't like hackers and spying". The logos depicted in this section are:

A lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Enthusiast" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing I want to show". The logos depicted in this section are:

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Activist" with a quote beside it that says "Privacy is a human right". The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled "The Ghost". There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

  • A cancel sign over a mobile phone, symbolizing "no electronics"
  • An illustration of a log cabin, symbolizing "living in a log cabin in the woods"
  • A picture of gold bars, symbolizing "paying only in gold"
  • A picture of a death certificate, symbolizing "faking your own death"
  • An AI generated picture of a person wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap, a face mask, and reflective sunglasses, symbolizing "hiding ones identity in public"

End of transcription.

Is it easy to implement Openwrt?

I m definitely a privacy enthusiast, but I use searx also, the rest I have no clue what they are

Using basic things like Graphene OS and keepass shouldn't be considered privacy activist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I keep my passwords in an encrypted file instead of a bunch of sticky notes! I'm a privacy activist!

I already made browser suggestions https://lemmy.ml/post/29712598/18453254 but I would also add Ceno https://ceno.network/ in the 5th layer due to its P2P and caching nature.

The only thing stopping me from being 'the Activist Group' is that Mullvad requires payment. Sorry, but I'm running a little tight on budget.

At the same time, I can't use Proton VPN for torrenting.

It's like $6.50USD /month, 2x the cost of mainstream vpn's.

It's valuable for me so I'm happy to pay and support them, but I'm mostly only need them while traveling.

Enthusiast level. Not bad. Not bad. Also where would you put librewolf?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What does LibreWolf have to do with privacy?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

It has more than Brave surely. The question is, if they are on same level or not.
