How to Stay Sane While Wired

  1. Download programs only from the developers' websites and your distribution's official repositories.
  2. Use uBlock Origin and Reader Mode. Information processing is much easier with them.
  3. Avoid everyone who treats others like sh**, even moderators.
  4. If you get an error when accessing a page, look for it on the WayBack Machine or archive.today.
  5. Encrypt as many confidential files as possible.
  6. Try to remove yourself from people search services.
  7. If something might get you in deep trouble, don't post it.
  8. Try to self-host as often as possible. E-mail servers should be left to the professionals, however.
  9. Access YouTube through Invidious, and disable Related Videos as frequently as possible. This will make focusing on the channels you like easier.
  10. No matter how often a creator begs, do not donate to them unless you can confirm they will use your money responsibly.
  11. Toxicity and lolcow-centric sites go hand in hand, so tread carefully.
  12. Do not play games that require an internet connection.
  13. Go outside if the weather is okay!
