TL;DR Leave your phone at home. It is a conduit into your entire life
and all of your networks. It contains years of passively recorded
conversation transcripts. It has data on all of your associates,
friends, and sexual partners. It tracks your movements down to the
meter. It is a black box that can be recovered from your person and used
against you in a court of law.
If the above doesn’t make it abundantly clear WHY you should leave it at
home, imagine the terror you feel when you hand someone your phone to
show them a picture and they start swiping left or right. Now imagine
The State swiping through your pictures. Hopefully we’ve convinced you!
Information security (abbreviated to InfoSec because it sounds cooler)
can seem intimidating, but it’s as easy as trading away some of your own
convenience in exchange for obstructing the Panopticon of
State/LEO/reactionary forces that seek to undermine your project. This
document is not a deep dive into any of the topics covered. Devices and
software exist in a state of flux, and what is considered secure now
will likely be obsolete within months, weeks, or days of writing this.
It is up to you to stay vigilant and informed.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
