Proper privacy in today's day in age requires, at least, an understanding of Linux systems administration/, basic network architecture, and virtualization.
That's before we talk about neutralizing ME.
If you're not splitting your identities/footprint across several permanent and burner VM's w/ different public IP's you're probably doing it wrong.
How is that reasonable to expect out of the average person?
