content: Best security device - don't be lazy Do you think that being clever will keep you safe? You're not that clever. The deck is stacked against you. Your hardware is compromised. The Ross Ulbrecht case demonstrates they are afraid of the Dark Net. As they should be, it illuminates them and the light of it causes them to shrink. This week I threw away a laptop I have had for 10 years. Nothing much. Linux, 2 gigs of RAM. This laptop was never connected to any network associated with me. This notebook was never powered on in the vicinity of my home. This laptop had USB ports which were the only means of moving data from my day to day findings, communications and interests. We are well and done and our enemies are buried. Some of them are still moving but they will see the futility of it soon enough. Wardrivers of the world unite on the Dark Web and make certain the Overton Window is not the only window providing light unto humanity. Nothing can grow in that corrupted light. I may buy a new laptop in 3 or 4 years. But probably closer to 6. And I will do it with cash, from a business where my face will not be memorable, in a city where I do not live.
