On a related note, I'm looking to start taking digital privacy/security more seriously. Not because I'm worried about anything in particular, but because I'd like to not enable purposeful tracking or collection of my information.
Anyway, what are the best practices for this, for someone that lives in the US? Email, smartphone, laptop, etc?
Should I bother with setting up my own email server on a VPS? What about cloud storage, calendar, etc? Should I use services like Todoist? How do I limit the tracking, resale, and use of my smartphone info for ads? Is LUKS a good idea for my laptop?
Is there a place online that has some guidance for this stuff? Who can give me a clue about what's a good idea and what isn't?
