Thought about this a lot and at the end decided that the best way to not drown was to not go swimming in the first place. My work computer runs vanilla Ubuntu.

Thought about this a lot and at the end decided that the best way to not drown was to not go swimming in the first place. My work computer runs vanilla Ubuntu. Nothing personal ever touches it. My personal laptop is a Toshiba from 2005 running openbsd. I don't store data, except code that goes to GitHub. I don't use a smartphone but have a dumb Nokia for the occasional call, but that is very rare these days. Other than that, I guess I follow a very practical approach to data. There's no danger of losing it if I don't have any to begin with.
