I use a Password manager and only have free software on main laptop computer. Fake emails, phone numbers, names wherever possible. Noscript in firefox based browsers. Self hosting services at home. For services I do not want my identity attached to shuf -n1 /usr/share/dict/words for usernames. I avoid all non-fediverse social media platforms with no free front end whenever possible. I use rss feeds and mpv for playing youtube videos. I use libredirect with free software frontends. I do not run proprietary software on my main laptop, I use a second laptop, a virtual machine or don’t run the software (for example when I need to use zoom I might run it on a second laptop and use a capture card.). I seperate different online activities with different browsers with different firefox colorways to prevent confusion (for example Firefox ESR for normal personal browsing, Normal firefox for vpn browsing, Firefox Dev Edition for school and college).
