Hey everyone — Matt here, the person behind ShannonGuides. I built these because I kept seeing the same problem: privacy and security content online is either "install these 5 apps" listicles that don't explain anything, or dense technical docs that assume you already know what you're doing. Nothing in between for someone who just wants to actually understand what they're doing and why. So I started writing guides that explain things from zero — the reasoning, not just the steps. They're written from stuff I've actually set up and use myself, not research pulled together for a blog post. Would love any feedback, and happy to answer questions about any of the topics — privacy stacks, GrapheneOS, de-Googling, OPSEC, whatever.
