If you're being specifically targeted by a sufficiently capable adversary, this is, at best, a speed bump. Categorize your levels of paranoia appropriately.

- unethical_ban 10y agoI really wonder if intelligence services are paid to demoralize user groups when I see posts like this. If you do all these things, your resistance to even NSA-level incriminating evidence goes WAY down, and your vulnerability to local LEO and hackers goes to near-zero. This is, at best, a brick wall, through which an adversary would have to bulldoze.

Bluntly, if you want to tangle with the pros playing like an amateur and not calculating the risks, you're going to be demoralized in your jail cell or worse. Understand, in depth, opsec before playing with the pros. Understand, understand, understand. Don't just grab random blog posts and mindless implement them. Understand specific details of what you're giving up and the tradeoffs. Activists have been doing amateur hour opsec for forty years and most of have been cracked like a crab constantly. Pay attention to history, folks!
- nickik 10y agoAt its core its about economics. The NSA wants to do mass survailance, and if masses of people adopt even small amounts of improved security it has an effect. People dont have to understand Signal, just use it, just as https. If everybody did all the things in this blogpost, we would be better of.
