Hi all. New to this community, but I’m constantly researching new privacy tools to try out and review. Besides Tor, I2P, and Freenet, are there others that you might recommend? I have heard that Signal’s privacy is iffy lately.

    I recommend Syncthing instead of cloud services. You never really notice how much stuff is “in the cloud” but storing it all and relying on it all there is taking a big leap in trust for the service you use.

    Alternatively, self-hosted NextCloud/related service might also work but involves a bit more setup. Pros of that is that there isn’t duplication of files stored on mutiple devices; ie. it works more like you would expect
