People often ask me what simple things to do to get better privacy so I tried to write it down, and actually realized that I don't really know how to give this advice:-)

The summary: 1/ Define your threat model 2/ Separate your identities 3/ Look normal 4/ Stay sane (the most important one)
I would love to hear from folks. What do you do? Or maybe what information you hide from whom. Or maybe what tools you use for what purpose?

I'm still trying to get the gist of it. Understanding Privacy is a little complicated since the procedure has to be followed properly to have true privacy.

Totally agree! It’s very complicated. Easy to fool yourself to do a lot work and think you have great privacy, without actually getting much benefits.

I like that they are trying to solve the incentives to run nodes, because I think that's the biggest problem with Tor (not many nodes).

Agree with the last tip: stay sane. This rabbit hole is deep and I’ve seen people going crazy.
