willopillo (edited )Link ParentThat's a really good reminder, I tend to catastrophize. Really no reason I need to throw away my devices and become a nomad haha. Also, you make a really good point with the web apps, I'll keep..."Be secure, but usable"

I've been researching internet privacy and fell down the rabbit hole of...well, internet privacy. I started with deleting Facebook/Instagram and switching to fire fox + plugins. I would like to make more improvements but I really have no idea how, it started with deleting socials and next thing you know I'm looking at LineageOS and de-googling.
If anyone has any suggestions on where to go next while staying realistic/not going crazy, i would love to hear them. I am not really sure where to set my expectations, basically I would like to have more control of my data. The other day Google photos gave me a memory recap which kind of creeped me out! I am suddenly not fond of whatever is going on under the surface of Google photos that's making collages and trying to sell my photo books. Also g-board giving me a pop up in the text prediction row asking me to rate the app??? Ew.
I am a fan of self hosting and run a small NAS (open media vault) but this too quickly turns into the privacy spiral and leaves me thinking I should throw my phone into a river and live in the forest. Would love to hear your thoughts/advice/opinions!

I have also been enjoying Magdalena Bay's album Imaginal Disk. It's so fun and synth-y, I can't understand what half of the songs are about but I love it regardless.

Yes!! I have already taken some advice from this thread; I am going to take it slow to avoid overloading myself. thanks for sharing your input, this is really great advice.
