Here are a few bits about my digital life: 1) I've been running my own email server on a VPS hosted by OVH since 2015 (dovecot+postfix). I also have a number of other email accounts. All of the remote email gets moved and aggregated to a dovecot/IMAP server at home which I can access from anywhere via dynamic DNS. 2) I use Firefox and sometimes the Tor Browser for the web. uBlock Origin and NoScript. I whitelist only JavaScript from trusted sites and only what is necessary to view/interact with the content. It's a bit cumbersome at first but after a while it gets to be routine. 3) I run a PC Engines apu2 [0] as my main router at home and it runs OpenBSD with the pf firewall and unbound for DNS. I maintain a blocklist/blacklist that is likely functionally equivalent to Pi-hole [1]. 4) I keep offline backups with a drive in a safe at home and another offsite that I sneaker-net to my parents house.
