ok sure op

>>62426718
Recommend him LUKS. Veracrypt isn't topnotch*.

*iPhone pun unintended.

Man, and I feel uncomfortable having to type in my password

>>62426718
>simplednscrypt on a linux distribution
This is how I know you're a dumb nigger.

Kiddie porn obviously
But tell him it doesnt matter if he doesnt have a dead man switch to automatically power it off, maybe through a Bluetooth device.
Because when the cops throw a flashbang through the window while they knock down the door he won't have time/be too shellshocked to power it off anyways.

>>62426747
Explain why and give alternatives.

>>62426746
This. I hate the idea of some nigger stealing my old shitpad and popping it's RAM out into a portable fridge and latter looking up my mornings hentai I used to fap to, that's still in memory of the browser even though I have disk caching disabled.

>tfw people like that actually exist on /g/

>>62426817
This. And who the fuck uses Tails instead of Qubes? Stock runs a bit heavy on a thinkpad but it can be stripped down a bit to be more lightweight.

>>62426870
So fucking annoying to be accused of this shit just for having a cyber security hobby. I guess going bald and having a neckbeard doesn't help. Also being a loner doesn't help I guess.

>>62426870
Bluetooth is backdoored.

>>62427331
Yeah, that's really bugging me. Tails is meant to be run from a liveusb, not the installed operating system. That basically defeats the whole point of Tails.

>>62427331
explain what's bad about tails and what's good about qubes

how would a dead man's switch work with bluetooth? would the trigger be a range thing? would it have to stop transmitting? obviously, the run of the mill crime show dead man switch would be incredibly inconvenient. if it was, range, what range would be safest? like i'm not gonna carry my loonicks machine on a trip to the shitter or a drive to the convenience store. would i leave my bluetooth dead man's switch with my laptop, in that case? did i just type out a long-ass question wall that can easily be answered by google? i'm lost, /g/

He did a good job up until that point.

>>62426718
>>he also encrypted his HDD with veracrypt
>>above that he's running simplednscrypt and a VPN

I do these three things except I use linux's default LVM/LUKS encryption.

>>62427771
wut distro?

>>62426870
I think an nfc chip is a better alternative

Arch.

I am think of using void. I need motivation.

These. The fact that he even made that mistake shows that he's just fucking around.

>>62428142
thinking*

>>62428097
yeah but the idea would be you can destroy your data even if you can't physically touch the machine you're nuking

>>62428142
Void is a very small operation, better to use OpenRC Arch or Gentoo with flags against Poettering software.

>>62428162
Oh, that makes sense. Maybe just an NFC chip and an isolated remote then.

>>62426718
Cheese pizza probably.

If you are over 25, unmarried, and have one of these hyper secure boxes then I reserve the right to think that you are a fucking pedo.

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.

Browsing /g/ causes people to buy into propaganda.

>>62428201
i mean data recovery can still probably bring back the info on the hard drive with some effort, so imo the best method of pure nuking would be an internal USB header with a USB killswitch (not sure how it would be activated though)

>capture and torture him for all the passwords

his flesh is a backdoor

>>62428350
not if your life is meaningless

>>62428262
Post your photo, house address and all passwords to your online accounts.

>>62426718
I'd go full incognito if my internet wasn't complete ass. you want good security if you torrent a bunch of stuff, don't like being spammed while having an internet presence for a few examples.

>>62428359
why would you care about security then

>>62426718
Oh you'll see what politics is capable off. Better start early.
This world is a dangerous place, everyone wants your data eventually - one way or the other.

I keep my electronic login chip embedded in my skin and rigged to explode if I press a button on the roof of my mouth.

why?

Why a dead man's switch? Why not just a momentary switch wired into the bottom from the battery? When you pick it up it dies.

>>62428425
I personally can not wait to break into peoples homes while they are logged into the hypernet and piss into their nutrition tanks

>>62426747
Nice try NSA

>>62428493
Because then you can't pick it up yourself?
Also they often don't move the device but USB backup it in place

Trust me I am part of the cybercrime department of my country.

The button is as far back as my tongue can reach, almost impossible to hit by accident. It also has a plastic cap that needs mild effort to remove.

he's a pedophile

>>62427736
to be fair, that is quite a bit of security if he's not a government employee or some kind of high level banker. assuming he's a normal dude i don't think its far fetched to assume this guy has some less than savory fetishes.
