That's why it's important to build a personal security and privacy model and a good idea of what you are and are not willing to give up. Instead of blindly chasing after the things that everyone else does. Since for most people, that idea of living in a forest is usually unobtainable
It’s also a good way to get out of attending unwanted events.
“I’d love to attend Braxton’s graduation party, but that weekend I’m going to be building a personal security and privacy model.”
There is still some nice, decently priced, forest land in Canada if you are OK with no services and 4 months of wet snow!
-Source: Living in the forest for the last few years. Mainly off-grid, but with a net connection to keep my job.
Unobtainable, you got that right.
I have the right to unobtainable.
We do have the right to the unattainable it's just an extremely low probability.
nah, every little step is good and this 'perfection or nothing' attitude is very damaging to anything, including the personal and collective fight for rights and privacy.
oh, sorry this the shitpost community, no need for me yo lecture. good joke then, yes it can be taxing sometimes. that sponge is literally me.
It can be sad to realize that perfect privacy and security can't be achieved, but on the other hand, what you can't change are things such as Intel ME, proprietary blobs in android or the linux kernel. It still pisses me off, but unless the FBI specifically targets me, there's no reason to worry about this, and so I don't. I instead focus on minimizing data collection, and being in control of my software, which is doable.
The issue is that you want privacy on a network designed to connect everyone and everything in the world. Not saying it's dumb or a futile effort but you have to acknowledge that being private and being connected to the Internet are diametrically opposed concepts.
If you want to be private I'd say ditching technology altogether is one of the first steps. Not much use for a computer in the woods anyway.
I think there's plenty of use for a computer in the woods, particularly for automation, telling time, etc. just not any task that requires internet obviously.
For example, imagine having a solar panel and battery connected to an Arduino that controls some sort of motor or pump and at certain times of the day it turns on and waters your crops. You could even use sensors connected to the Arduino to measure environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and soil moisture.
Shhh, you'll attract the solarpunks and then we'll really be finding out all about the ways of low-tech and high-nature. Some of us have things to do today other than design low-watt high-flow irrigation.
Too late
Gotta beware those IR satellite cameras tho. Tunnels. For real privacy you need tunnels.
Also nukes, or someone's going to invade you before you're done.
But not ordinary nukes, off the shelf at your nearest military supplier. Those aren't really free, you know, and besides licensing issues you never know what trackers and backdoors are hidden inside.
You need Transparency.
You need Privacy.
You need Freedom.
You need Gnukes.
Some say Samsung was in development of such a device... They had this prototype that you could fit in your pocket.
Samsung? Making FOSWMD? They don't even do FOSS!
Just be careful it's not a Lenovo Thinkpad from the suprfish generation.
Skip the thinkpad if you expect to be pure
