My approach as an practicing paranoic: Use retro Computers.
- coldacid 5y agoThis is the avenue I've started taking, myself.
- DeathArrow 5y agoHow much retro are we talking? If retro enough we can't use them for any modern use case. Maybe something like a RISC-V core written to a FPGA by yourself is pretty safe.
- RalfWausE 5y agoIt all depends on the one question: What IS your use case? Mine is as an tutor on an evening college, casual writer and some dabbling into some embedded projects. For THIS use case my (very retro) Atari 520 ST with 4 MB Ram is totally working. Is it nuts? Yup, but i can be sure that no state trojan is monitoring my totally boring behaviour.
- pphysch 5y agoTake this behavior too far and you might just sign up for more monitoring. "Why does citizen #2743652 have internet/electricity service with no registered devices or online profiles?" *Does deep background check*
- RalfWausE 5y agoNah, no problem: Just use some cheap tablet for a bit casual time in the "commercinet" (e.g. YouTube)... ;-)
- LargoLasskhyfv 5y agoYou can have both. * https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki Combine retro with FPGA as you like(within the constraints of that development board). Or waste Watts by using software emulation.
