    What a superb list! Saved.

    I was thinking of writing a guide on how to lead a digitally private and secure “life” since so many bad guides are out there.

    I’d like to add that the best private and secure Operating Systems are:

    • BSD
    • HardenedBSD
    • Commercial UNIX (HP-UX, AIX, IRIX)
    • Void & Alpine Linux
    • Indie Operating Systems

    Private Search Engines

    Private Browsers

    • Lynx
    • Librewolf
    • Waterfox
    • Qutebrowser
    • Hardened Firefox (at my repo)

    Qubues runs containers yes, but the unique use of a paravirtualized Fedora Linux kernel itself leaves open lots of unique security holes and is therefore extremely hard reviewing the security of it yourself.

    GrapheneOS is constantly being showboated by Ed Snowden which is a red flag and I did experience app contamination on it. I would also suggest PostmarketOS. Definite no on CalyxOS.

    I’d like to throw in my own Free Open Source, git clone, security repositories for BSD and Firefox available on Bitbucket, Github, and my own self-hosted git server with the latest files. All my software is currently written in Python (my very first Python scripts!) and short so it’s very easy to review.
