I am deep into online privacy and security.

I have mitigated against just about everything i know i can, and carved out special areas where the necessity to expose any pii is wholly separate from any other activities.

I tweak. I harden. I dnscrypt. I proxy. I vpn. I firewall. I hosts file. I wiresharkng. I debloat. I nmap my network and devices. I container. I live boot. I tor. I i2p. I have masks, throwaways, anonymizers. I do all the things. And I'm not even a criminal (anymore). I just dont enjoy the lie the future was supposed to be, and i dont like people knowing i like mexican midget donkey porn.

That said...

I have many hobbies that are fully and completely disconnected. From arts and making music, building and fixing everything, biking, cooking, gardening to staring at the night sky in wonder.

Unfortunately, i am apparently of such enormous value and threat to the security of the nation and its people that i am surveilled 24/7. Wherever i go. Whatever i do.

And no, I'm not on parole. And no, I'm not paranoid. I've proven it to people i know, time amd time again.

Same cars, same people, different locations. Random locations (I've tested, I've photographed, ive documented)

15 years now.

Kinda puts a damper on things.
