I’m curious what steps we can take as individuals to further protect our privacy online.

Also, what do you think we can do as a society to change the status quo? How do we get more people to see that this is a significant problem?

This severely inhibits this part of their question. If the only platform you have to communicate with people are places like here, you’re preaching to the choir

A few to consider:

  • Ditch Facebook and Whatsapp.
  • Invest in a VPN
  • Switch to Firefox for web browsing
  • Install GrapheneOS on your phone
  • Pay with cash where possible
  • Switch to XMPP with OMEMO encryption for messaging with your favorite people

Hope your pipe situation got resolved easily.

We had a pipe burst right at the entrance of our crawlspace a few weeks ago and it took a bit to realize. It was a nightmare and now we have to get some foundation work done.

Wow, ouch! That is my nightmare!

Thankfully, mine was not nearly as bad. We just bought the house a few months ago and a bad repair to a reservoir attached faucet led to my yard being completely flooded. Luckily a neighbor alerted us to the issue and we were able to circumvent the water before it got into our foundation.
