Well Snowden came out years ago telling us about how the NSA was spying on everyone, but now it seems there is a brand new (probably not) player out there, your beloved CIA. So this thread is dedicated on ways to protect yourself as much as humanly possible agains't their dirty tricks to dox you. Anyone got anything they want to share on how to secure your system while still being usable?
For instance, what operating system do you use, what security softwares and settings are you using, what habits are you undertaking.
Preferably give every tricks and recommandation you know to make any of the major operating systems (Linux, Windows and Mac) more secure.
There's hardware backdoors and they can bridge airgapped computers. It's over
Snowden was a CIA plant intended to draw all attention to the NSA

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Most of my computing is now done on a computer using Windows 95 that never gets connected to the internet. It has no USB ports so I don't have to worry about viruses that way, and the only way I get data onto it is through zipdrive. Getting data back out onto the internet takes some doing though, I put the commands I want to execute onto a zip drive, and take that over to a 12 year old Toshiba Satellite that gets a fresh install of Arch Linux every day, and the only commands that are allowed to run are from that zip diskette.
Pretty sure I'm safe.
