Not possible anymore
Staying anonymous when posting
Not true. There are ways of preventing even the NSA from determining who you are. They just involve more of a focus on operations than on technology. If you're not already a person of interest yourself, simply using Tor with a text based browser would suffice.
1: NSA's spying is just a shitty dragnet operation
Yes, what they do is they collect information from suckers who use social media and don't bother to to protect themselves from analytics, they're not gonna bother to send fucking sam fisher at night to wiretap your router and install a firmware rootkit on your PC just because you run Gentoo on a librebooted thinkpad and think ya slick.
2: Intruders (including the NSA) hate HTTPS, big time, HTTPS encrypts the data you send and receive between you and the website you're browsing, which means the only thing your ISP (let alone other intruders) sees is that you're browsing "8ch.net" but it doesn't know whether you are on "8ch.net/k" or "8ch.net/tech" or what data you sent or received.
So unless that website's owner himself sells your info to the j00s you're probably safe.
In fewer words, using non-botnet software and OS while forcing HTTPS and not using any social media whatsoever puts you on top of 99% of suckers around the world in terms of privacy, and is enough to evade the fag known as NSA
TOR is okay, just don't be an idiot.
Tech illiterate fearmongering boomer at action.
My flag is unknown? i'm not even using a VPN or TOR.
Let's test again.
What the fuck? well it's better that way anyway.
What would be non-botnet software/OS?
Software that doesn't spy on you and sell your info
Preferably the type of software that doesn't send a single packet of info.
for example just off the top of my head
Browsers: ungoogled chromium and waterfox, these are the only two acceptable browsers (But you also need to configure the correct addons, ask me about them if you're interested)
torrent: qbittorrent, picotorrent, transmission
voice, chat and messaging: tox, mumble (maybe IRC if you and your friends are autistic enough)
OS: Any linux (maybe windows 7 if you know how to configure it, but you most likely don't)
Rule of the thumb: If they offer you a program that isn't open source but is free of cost, they sell your data, look at google chrome and honeypot for example, how do you think they make money? By selling your fucking data to advert companies and the Govt.
meant google chrome and honeypot
What the fuck, am i becoming demented?
oh, is Dis.co.rd censored?
well i'm glad i'm not losing my sanity
I'd also like to add that you need to have a computer without Intel's vPro/AMT/Intel anti-theft or AMD's PSP.
If the botnet is in the kernel and you don't have access to its source code, no amount of configuration is going to get it out.
