Have you had any privacy wins recently? Anything you've tried or tweaked to improve your privacy? Anyone who's listened to something you've said? Do you have any privacy enhancing projects or changes you're working on implementing

I managed to convert someone to Signal this week. Was having reception difficulties with a phone call (both of us in spotty areas) and after a drop out, managed to get them on board with Signal. A very notable quality improvement in the call which helped reinforce to them it was a good idea.

I'm going to work on setting up Pihole over the weekend.

Note: I did steal this topic idea from Techlore.

Been on GrapheneOS for a few weeks. Great daily driver. I feel like I have control of my phone. It constantly asks me what to share and how much.

It sort of reminds me of the granular control you get on Linux.

Been years since I flashed a new ROM but it was way easier than things had been. Literally a web installer. Love it!
