The Privacy Iceberg

This is original content. AI was not used anywhere except for the bottom right image, simply because I could not find one similar enough to what I needed. This took around 6 hours to make.

Transcription (for the visually impaired)

(I tried my best)

The background is an iceberg with 6 levels, denoting 6 different levels of privacy.

The tip of the iceberg is titled "The Brainwashed" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing to hide". The logos depicted in this section are:

The surface section of the iceberg is titled "As seen on TV" with a quote beside it that says "This video is sponsored by...". The logos depicted in this section are:

An underwater section of the iceberg is titled "The Beginner" with a quote beside it that says "I don't like hackers and spying". The logos depicted in this section are:

A lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Enthusiast" with a quote beside it that says "I have nothing I want to show". The logos depicted in this section are:

An even lower section of the iceberg is titled "The Privacy Activist" with a quote beside it that says "Privacy is a human right". The logos depicted in this section are:

The lowest portion of the iceberg is titled "The Ghost". There is a quote beside it that has been intentionally redacted. The images depicted in this section are:

  • A cancel sign over a mobile phone, symbolizing "no electronics"
  • An illustration of a log cabin, symbolizing "living in a log cabin in the woods"
  • A picture of gold bars, symbolizing "paying only in gold"
  • A picture of a death certificate, symbolizing "faking your own death"
  • An AI generated picture of a person wearing a black hoodie, a baseball cap, a face mask, and reflective sunglasses, symbolizing "hiding ones identity in public"

End of transcription.

Thanks for providing this. It is obvious you put a lot of time into this. Truly appreciated. I will have to look into these.

How did you find these yourself?

I use Keepass but mostly for convenience and I don't understand why it's in the 5th category. If I have 50 different accounts with 50 different passwords but they can all be had with one keepass password, how is that different than having 50 different accounts all using the same password?

[–] refutablewife@reddthat.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you use an easy password for your password manager, it's trivial to crack with a few word lists and hashcat, just as any other account.

Websites get hacked all the time, and your login details (and PII) ARE available for sale from shady people right now. It's important that, the next time one of the sites you use gets hacked, you don't have to scramble to update all your other logins.

Malwarebytes is good in my opinion and ads didn't told me about it. I discovered it by myself. And nowdays ads can't really tell me much because I block every single ad I just possibly can.

I have a little bit of everything except As Seen on TV and Ghost.

I mostly have 3,4,5 and still use YT and Discord

I already made browser suggestions https://lemmy.ml/post/29712598/18453254 but I would also add Ceno https://ceno.network/ in the 5th layer due to its P2P and caching nature.

You can replace the generated image by searching for images of "Goggle wool ski mask" IMHO.

What is so bad about nordvpn? What makes protonvpn better?

Been a nordvpn user for around 4 years now. If I need to switch I'll do it, this is just the first time I've heard it isn't all that great.
