I do this and I use Proton as my email provider. I think as long as you set the email security standards, which Proton, for example, teaches you how to do, you should be fine.

From what I understand, silent payments only gives the sender the ability to generate addresses that the receiver can pull Bitcoin from. So it protects the receiver, but it does not protect the sender and it does not protect the amounts. This is a step in the right direction for Bitcoin, but it's still nothing compared to Monero.

Edit: Instead of having the receiver manually have to give you a new address that's fresh every single time you want to pay them. This automatically can generate new addresses to pay them without their input.

Started using Linux in 2010 on a virtual machine on a Windows XP machine that was really not meant to run it and it was God awful. But I knew that it was the virtual machine not Linux itself. After that I was using my laptop for school and a Windows update completely broke it and I absolutely had to use it for the next class that I was going to in like five minutes and I had a flash drive with a live Linux environment already on it and so I just used that. However, once I was done with class that day, my first thought was why should I even go in and attempt to fix this Windows machine when Linux has been working fine for me all day. And so I just went ahead and wiped the disk and ran the installer. And I've been using Linux ever since. I do generally keep a Windows virtual machine around, just in case, but it's extremely rare that I've ever needed to use it.

I mostly follow the Dave Ramsey every dollar plan. So I have my budget worked out in such a way that once I'm done paying everything and moving money around, my bank account has like $5 in it that's just there to absorb any weird charges I might forget about. It doesn't normally happen, but it helps to have it just for that reason. I also have a specific amount that I put into my savings every month and the vast majority of my money I take out of the fiat system entirely every single month.

Sorry, its pixelfed. I corrected the original comment, but wanted to make sure that you knew there was a misspelling.

Why insta and not pixelfed?

It is definitely possible to place rent some places with crypto. Any that will accept a debit card at least. As far as the credit card bill you could be right about that one. Credit card bills, car payments, and mortgages are the hardest ones to deal with since they are direct bank withdrawals.

Monero

I personally don't have a PDF reader since Firefox can open them and so can Fossify Files

None that I'm aware of. I guess it's possible, but I have not seen it be the case yet.

Edit: I can tell you for a fact that the ones I'm listing are legitimate. And if you don't believe me, try purchasing one with the multi-signature escrow.
