you can't have paper searched by algorithm unless someone holds onto it personally.

there are plenty of low-tech solutions to problems that have high-tech solutions now that work almost as good.

Also
>implying I don't

read paper books.

they can't be edited.

ok, they CAN be edited but not after they're printed.

Your rights to a physical book can't be terminated arbitrarily

^^

Same with movies, music, vidya etc

Physical products are sorely underrated

use USB drives to store data you don't want people to get access to, and remove them when you are done. data in an inert state can't be accessed.

Tbh the "oh fuck" moment was realizing that even airgapped devices can have vulnerabilities

People are fucking devious

yeah, but if you want a little assurance, start by buying a little used laptop for anything you don't want people to see, and strip the wireless card.

and shut off bluetooth if its separate.

and also remember: All speakers are microphones, and all microphones are speakers.

Even I'd you're going to keep it connected I'd still support the "buy a little used laptop" plan and just experiment with it
Ease yourself into Unix

~~Whoops~~ de-yeeted

memory holed!

Got one laptop running arch and another I'm trying to setup OpenBSD on

Spare part computers are great too

openBDSM sounds like a bad idea for security...

People, Get Off the Grid Now!

*waits for people to leave discords*

oh no, I'm not an advocate for disconnecting.

surrendering this space to the libs would only accelerate the end.

I've been setting up backups on alternative services tbh

lol i know, i'm just playing.

Discord is compromised and has been for ages

however closed networks of conservatives play a key role in counter revolutionary actions.

the biggest safety comes in numbers and cohesion. Tyrants struggle to kill many people, even in the era of push-button warfare and mass murder.

Depends on how those numbers are configured, and what options they have

The modern narrative I see played out time and time again is a large group becoming dependent on a compromised, proprietary service, and then having no backup plan when that invariably backfires

that's not likely. the number of services is diverse, and while say banning youtube would be a blow, you can always fall back on regular fileserves.

hell you can email videos.

It's much harder to keep the group together when you're trying to make the change on a dime

You'll invariably hemorrhage people on the way over

Which is why I'm glad that we're starting to see people thinking ahead in some sectors

what we really need is woof from the office.

so we can blast communication to everyone, everywhere on every platform all at once 😄
