It's been a while I don't bother much about security any more, because I consider everything insecure.
So I just do not put all my eggs in the same basket, I do not store much personal information on my computer, I store even less online, I do not store any money/payment related information, and I just admit I will however sometimes get my butt kicked here or there.
It is like my house. Anyone can break in at any time, and steal my belongings. Do I install an armoured door? Do I build grids on windows? Do I install an alarm with a direct link to a security company? No, no, and no. I just lock my front door. It only protects from a part of opportunity robberies and that's enough for me. I won't take measures to prevent all other possibilities. They can happen at any time, with no difficulty. And so what?
Back to computers. So this very basic mitigation, very limited damage control is enough to make me feel OK. It feels better to admit insecurity as a given, than to constantly fight for a false feeling of security I cannot achieve anyway.
