And Which changes did you intend to make but haven't done (yet)? Why?
- TurboHaskal 10y ago- [x] Auto censorship - [x] VPN - [ ] No Google services (still using Google Maps) - [ ] No Microsoft (ended up liking Windows 10) - [ ] YubiKey or similar (such a PITA)
- BjoernKW 10y agoMy website has been https-only for some time now, which is partly due to Snowden but mostly just because it's good Internet hygiene. There's also been an - unfortunately very slight - uptick on encrypted email usage for me but for the most part I've resigned to the fact that email probably will never be used as a secure communication protocol by a significant number of people which is why I resort to other services and protocols for secure communication. I also use a password manager and 2FA religiously wherever possible.
