It just occured to me, how to defeat the 3-letter agencies from planting kiddie porn on your computer. Are you ready for this?
Dad was right. The 2000 flip phone with the big numbers was all he needed to stay in contact.
Yes!!! That's why my son got me a flip phone. I babysit my grandkids and needed a way to contact help if something happened while I was at his house. He was going to get me a Smart Phone and I said NOOOOOOOOOO! Then I told him what I wanted and that I wanted No TEXT, NO Internet, NO NOTHING. Simply a phone that is all. And that's what he got me.
I got by with a tracphone for a few years, at about $7/month. Just used for very rare calls since the home phone was main one used, but then tracphone raised their rate way up, so for less than what they cost a month, I was able to get put on my wife's plan, and have a decent phone.
I always say to go the cheap route. Especially for something you don't use much and one that doesn't have all the bells and whistles.
The flip phone thing, I agree. Easy enough transition for normal, non-screen addicted people.
To stop using computers basically eliminates half the workforce and worse, you're now out of the digital fight that Q and General Flynn have rallied us to. This is not practical advice.
The sad reality is that there's no defense. Doesn't matter what OS you're using, doesn't matter what your security stack is. If you have a computer, "they" have a backdoor.
But I'd greatly prefer to stay in the fight and assume the risks.
I disagree with this. It may be true, to a degree, but to say this means you will likely just say "screw it" and not take any precautions at all, which puts you much more at risk of falling victim to something.
There is a whole niche industry around restoring digital privacy with open source hardware and software. It IS possible to have a secure device. It just takes more work than most people are willing to commit to.
You misinterpret the thrust of my argument.
There is no defense against CIA or NSA intrusion of your workstation if they target you. I'm not saying that in a speculative fashion.
However:
My only argument is that this fact shouldn't be a reason to keep people out of the fight. We win by people assuming the risks and fighting, not by going offline/dark.
I completely agree with you, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't have a strong focus on security against other potential attackers on all of the endpoints in one's home. I am only referring to state-sponsored attacks on individuals where there is no defense. Security should always be a major focus, especially given the vengeful idiots we're often arguing with.
NOTE: If you're referring to some of the lower-tech comms options that are starting to become more refined, I think those do genuinely have some potential. My security comments are exclusively in the realm of traditional desktop/laptop devices that most people use to access the web.
Agreed. Thanks for clarifying.
Why aren’t there more people out there putting systems for this together?
They are out there but you have to search outside of the matrix.
It should be a more popular industry but people have been conditioned to give up their privacy and so most people just don't care.
Computer engineer here. There is no way to have a secure device right now.
So tell me what aspects of security you are most concerned about and what precautions do you take with your important data?
Computer engineer here. Using a flip phone is not going to help: it is also a computer.
All of your text messages are going into the Stellar Wind database in NSA. All your email also.

There really is no escape. If you want to track how bad it is, sign up for Bruce's newletter, Cryptogram: https://www.schneier.com/
So to send a joke text that states, "The bomb is planted, and will go off as scheduled at 8pm" is not a good idea? :)
Some GNU email tool that was popular in the 90s used to insert sentences like that into the end of your emails just so that all emails would sound like terrorists planning an attack just to cause problems for the NSA.
They’ll just make up whatever “evidence” they want.
That’s all my dad had and a $20 monthly bill to go with it.
