How to Stay Sane While Wired
- Encrypt as many confidential files as possible.
- Regularly copy important files to another storage device.
- Download programs only from the developers' websites and your distribution's official repositories.
- Use uBlock Origin and Reader Mode. Information processing is much easier with them.
- Avoid everything that treats others like sh**, even moderators.
- If you get an error when you attempt to access a page, look for it on the WayBack Machine or archive.today.
- Try to remove yourself from people search services.
- If something might get you in deep trouble, don't post it.
- Try to self-host as often as possible. E-mail servers should be left to the professionals, however.
- Access YouTube through Invidious, and disable Related Videos as frequently as possible.
- No matter how often a creator begs, do not donate to them unless you can confirm they will use your money responsibly.
- Toxicity and lolcow-centric sites go hand in hand, so tread carefully.
- Do not play games that require an internet connection.
- Go outside if the weather is okay!
