If you into privacy I recommend Extreme Privacy book that goes over many things. The lengths that you go to protect your privacy will depend on your threat model. Privacy is expensive unfortunately.
voluntarily subjecting yourself to mitm attack is... uh... not the smartest idea in the world 😂
and definitely not something you should advise to someone asking how to increase their security.
you have to pay for every such call. and what is the security gain here?
that is to protect you from nsa, in some enemy of the state scenario?
again, what scenario is this useful in? lets say i am not really into international terrorism...
yeah, and reading your advises, you are obviously some james bond hunted by 10 enemy intelligence services at once 🤣
Thanks for your comments I had a good laugh as well. Take my upvote 😂
Why would using email aliases increase you mitm attack vector threat?
because unless you use some paranoid email that can do this in house (and majority of people do not) it means using third party service, which is, by definition, that man in the middle.
I don't understand. Can you explain?
i think the person i am replying to is watching too much tv and his advices are silly and/or bad. if your question is more specific, well, be more specific ;)
Shit I replied to the wrong comment my bad.
ok then
