title: Let's end the year of the tiger with privacy tips author: 寮 date: 2022-12-31 tags: technology,privacy,anonymity
The year of the tiger (2022) is coming to an end, and the year of the rabbit (2023) is about to start in a few hours.
So let's say goodbye to the big pussy with tips on how to achieve better privacy online.
Also, I will NOT say things like use Tor, set up your own VPN, don't use centralized platforms, avoid Cuckflared websoytes, because I've already said all of that billions of times.
Instead I will focus on stuff I haven't said yet.
Anonymity vs privacy
First I'll explain the difference between anonymity and privacy.
Basically, anonymity involves no identity at all, so you're basically just "a person" and nothing else.
No name, no gender, no race, no nationality, no nothing, nothing can be traced back to you.
Full anonymity on the darknet is pretty hard to achieve, but it's outright impossible on the clearnet.
Because you might get on IRC, join a small server that doesn't require an account, set your nick to "Anonymous", but your IP is still known to the server admin.
You can use a VPN to mask your IP, but that's privacy, not anonymity.
On the other hand, if you join an I2P-only IRC server, you get all the anonymity features as above, and in addition to having your IP address protected.
Because to the server admin, it would appear as if all users are joining from localhost.
In both cases, the only way to fuck it up is by voluntarily making yourself identifyable.
All of this applies for BBS, matome blogs, and image boards as well.
Privacy on the other hand does involve an identity (like username and password for example), but is easy to obscure.
A technique I used before I gave up on pretty much all of alt-tech is to create accounts under a different username and email address on each site, alter the way I told on all of them, make personalities distinctive enough to make them as hard to cross-identify to one other as possible, and so on.
This is the focus of this article.
0. Delete Fakebook and Quora
Fakebook and Quora require you to dox yourself to the entire world, therefore you literally can't have privacy on these.
So just delete them, might also improve your mental health too.
1. Act differently everywhere
It can be pretty hard if you have a too large ego, but definitely not impossible.
It's a matter of blending in with the crowd, so on Twitter you'd be the pro-Ukrainian tranny gaylord nigger zoomer in a wheelchair who's 4 times boosted and still got the covAIDS, while on Gab you'd be a pro-Trump white Christian boomer who's is thoroughly anti-vax, hates the Jews, consider the covAIDS to be just the flu, and believes Alex Jones religiously, and on Varis Hangout you'd be an anti-vax lolicon millenial, who considers all religions to be retarded, and knows that the covAIDS doesn't exist.
Cross linking identities is ultimately how they get you in the end.
But let's be honest, this is extremely hard to accomplish, even I have a hard time accomplishing exactly that.
The trick is to drop your ego to as low as possible, save your real self for your own blog or some shit.
2. Never use your real name and face online
Back in the cyber-dinosaur era (which was only a few decades ago) it was common sense to not reveal your real identity, because the glowniggers might be watching.
Nowadays though, people have been conditioned to dox their entire work history on LinkedIn or they won't get employed anywhere, which is absolute bullshit because I have no LinkedIn, yet I have quite a lengthy employment/freelance history.
Hell, back in the 1950's people were very weary of phone calls because they could be evedropped at any moment, they even knew how to notice that.
But now they're more than happy to uncontiously share their entire family conversations through Amazon Alexa, because "I have nothing to hide", and if you ask them to unplug that thing because you value your privacy, you get stared at as if you were some drug dealer or human trafficker or some shit.
This is extremely important, and this is why Fakebook and Quora are not an option at all.
There have been so many arrests made towards people who doxxed themselves, the latest example being Andrew Tate who got arrested by Romanian feds just yesterday, but also Moro-san who had to fight for 4 years but ultimately won in the end (and the video includes even more examples), and too many examples to remember of people in Ausjailia, Airstrip One, Norway (which turned out to even have a dedicated Ministry of Reality apparently), and Deutschland who got arrested purely for saying stuff online, the only ones who got away with it (people in the same countries) are the ones who have never exposed their real name, location, and face.
Apparently, even people who are trying to stop the Indian tech support scammers are getting in massive trouble because of their lack of anonymity, like how Malcolm Merlyn explained, which is what inspired me to write this article by the way.
Especially since the internet never forgets, and nothing is truly deleted, you'll need to have the habbit of remaining as anonymous as possible from day 1.
This also includes never using anything that requires a phone number, a satanphone, or multi factor authentication (except for OTP, because you can still mitigate that using GNU Pass), because those alone are enough to get you doxxed.
If at one point you fucked up, it's best to go dark for a while, and then return under a brand new online identity and personality.
It can however be hard to make a balance, because you should still use some traits from your previous personality, most people fuck up by absolutely avoiding everything that matches to the old identity, but people aren't that stupid.
At one point somebody would notice that you're the exact opposite of your former self, and will still be able to identify you properly.
You can make it less obvious by repurposing some traits, but make it all different enough to not get noticed.
Your attempts of censoring when you get caught is another way of getting you exposed.
A lot of people make the mistake when they get outed of being the same guy as the one under his previous identity, they freak out and try to hide it all as much as possible.
It's a fully understandable reaction, don't get me wrong, but all you're doing is you're confirming that you indeed are the same person.
Treat it as if they mismatched you with somebody else, that way you can create doubt, and will most likely believe they mistook you.
Some of you might have noticed how I keep changing myself depending on who I speak to, like being very antisemitic to some people and respecting to others, anti-ideology to some people and pro-capitalism to others, promoting spirituality the one day and considering it a cult the other day, and so on.
This too is entirely by design.
The golden rule you should remember, if you don't know the person in question in real life, then it's possibly an agent.
If you do know the person in question in real life, then it's possibly going to snitch on you.
Never fully trust anyone, no matter what.
Yes, this even includes me!
Sometimes state actors are so good at acting, you might not even notice their glow until maybe years later.
So you better act pro-actively rather than re-actively.
Be water!
Eye break!

3. Never use your real voice
If you're making videos or podcasts, it makes sense to use your own voice.
Your voice is even more identifyable than your name actually, because there might be multiple people with the same name as you have, but your voice is unique.
Maybe not to the human ear, but a CIA-made AI can definitely distinguish.
And it's not even state of the art technology either, they've been confirming to have this ability in Hollywood movies, animation, and so on for many decades already, and usually when they show this tech to the public, it means they've been deploying such technology much earlier on already.
Your best weapon would be to use a text to speech.
Voice distorters can be fine for now, but it's not as waterproof, as you're still using your own voice for the input, at one point there will be technology to undo the distortion and that will still bite you in the ass.
Pixelated images can already get depixelated, as seem in this example.
4. Manipulate real life events
It's perfectly understandable you want to talk about what happened in real life online.
But don't be too truthful about it.
What I often do is that sometimes I share the real events as is, sometimes I postpone revealing the events just to make it seem like it happened on a different day and time, sometimes I make alterations to the events (like location, people involved, environment, whatever), and sometimes I just make events up altogether.
This is on purpose, because you reporting on real life events is what would get you identified.
Glowniggers are watching you, no matter what.
Especially if you go through the trouble of protecting your identity as much as possible, they'll try extra hard to deanonymize you.
And consider the fact that CCTV camera's are absolutely everywhere these days, smartphones are absolutely everywhere, there might be somebody recording you whether willingly or unwillingly, smartphones automatically record your voice, and so on.
If you're too honest about your real life events, at one point a link will be created.
So by mixing in fake events, delayed events, and manipulated events will make the data on your actual real life events pretty useless.
5. If you record real life footage, randomnize your locations
Some people rely on recording real life locations on video, never do so near your home.
The link I gave at point 3 has some examples of that if you scroll up (not down, because I linked to a specific ancker point).
Avoid recording in a major city, because they're pretty unique, and thus are easily identifyable.
Instead, try recording in some small town you don't live in, occasionally record in your own town even around your own house if you will just to create extra doubt, but make sure you randomnize it with recording in other places too.
Small towns all around the world are generally more generic, so it's much harder to pin point the real location of these.
So it even allows you to say "I am recording from Iwate" while you're actually in Kitakyusyu for example.
Though watch out for billboards, these alone can very easily expose you.
Summary
So never use accounts that require real life information, act differently everywhere, never dox yourself, never use your real voice, mix real event with fake or altered events, and make yourself as untracable as possible.
And have a nice new year break!
