Just several pieces of advice. You need to know nothing more than this.....

1) don't use Windows. Windows is spyware. Windows is impossible to protect against malware. Use Linux for protection against malware.

2) use encryption for storing files. Veracrypt is the best encryption software for encrypting files and/or devices.

3) don't use cloud services. Don't back up your files onto clouds because clouds scan for files.

4) don't post any personal info online. That much should be obvious.

5) don't go on the dark web (it is all just government honeypots).

@Zarutaku using Windows is not a good idea, you have to be delusional to think it is "safe" from malware, it is not.

How about instead you... live life and just try to be smart about IT security???





Notice the OP didn't even give the most basic fundamental tip which is "don't use the same passwords everywhere".

Probably you are thinking here more about OPSEC than computer security itself. But when it comes to malware everything comes down to demand/offer. Windows more popular = more targeted. Aside from the fact that Microsoft and Apple sell your personal data for their own gain you need to be careful even if you use GNU/Linux anyway. You can code malware to exploit any type of OS. Not to mention that social engineering is actually biggest threat

Several pieces of mine advices...

1) don't use Windows. Windows is spyware. Windows is impossible to protect against malware. Use Linux for protection against malware.


As windows is just any other OS aka the tool, it's up to someone to protect themselves against malware, not the OS and all the telemetry among other things can be disabled via verified and safe to use 3rd party GUI apps thus reducing ram usage etc.

2) use encryption for storing files. Veracrypt is the best encryption software for encrypting files and/or devices


Almost entire "software" e.g steam and other software are already safely encrypted with steam whenever installing sth, it connects to steam pipe (remote installer) which remotely un encrypts the files and transfer them to user local disc which were securely stored in CMD.

3) don't use cloud services. Don't back up your files onto clouds because clouds scan for files.


Cloud services has strong protections, such as end to end data decryption,IAM with multi factor authentication etc.

4) don't post any personal info online. That much should be obvious.


Fair enough, but in a places when felt safe like mal can easily if someone is comfortable them can show their country location, their age etc without any issues.

5) don't go on the dark web (it is all just government honeypots).


Usually no one anyway goes to these places😅

@Shishio-kun My favorite is Urara Oikawa.



I agree with a few other picks you made, but specifically from Bleach, I always liked the tall chick best. Isane Kotetsu. Oddly enough, Rangiku would actually be second.



And if we're talking Mario, then it's all about Bowsette.

@Shishio-kun Indeed. This is very true.

I had a card made for me back in the day for Uraru when Dark was still doing graphics stuff.

One of the things that's helped me keep my computer safe that falls under the freebie category, is the no script app for Google Chrome. Definitely comes in handy. 😍

Linux gets malware too. While I prefer local storage a cloud service where only you have access to the encryption key is better for some people. You also don't seem to know what the dark web is. There is completely ordinary boring fully legal sites on the dark web, not that I bother using them myself though.

Not really necessary at all, unless you go outside very often and is at risk of getting your device stolen.

You can simply archive your files into something like .zip and encrypt it with PGP before uploading it to the cloud.

Just because you browse the dark web doesn't mean you're doing something illegal. I believe there's even some normal websites that just wants to be hidden in the surface web.

Signatures are too distracting
