    1. private, secure dns, so they don’t know the domains you’re visiting
    2. https everywhere, so they can’t see any of the data you’re sending or receiving

    All that’s left is what ip’s you’re connecting to. Which is useless half the time, especially since most websites are behind cloudflare or some other anti-ddos proxy already.

    Also, don’t use the web browser that came with your phone. Some manufacturers and isp’s might enjoy adding tracking into those. Some, like Apple, even got caught not encrypting amy of that.

    Side note:

    • https everywhere is pretty much the standard in modern web browsers
    • an adblocker can still help a lot in blocking trackers
    • a secure dns you can find in your browser settings

    It’s not that the power plant depended on the weather, but rather that the river life depended on not being boiled alive. Just like a coal or gas power plant, water is needed for cooling, which means the waste heats ends up in a nearby river.

    But unlike coal or gas, nuclear doesn’t also produce a tonne of carbon dioxide. And oddly enough, a coal power plant would be more radioactive than a nuclear plant.
