Where's the entrance to the rabbit hole?

There's nothing schizophrenic about defending your right to privacy.

Privacy is a right. And it's important to protect.

far too late. you've been logged and compartmentalized, using data harvested for at least 20 years.

the pasta

Buy a thinkpad x230 and install heads. Heads is a lot more secure than standard bios or uefi and unlike Libreboot it provides measured boot. Write protect the flash chip. put nail polish on the screws and take high resolution pictures to ensure signs of tampering. Do NOT use a HDD or SSD. These have DMA so a malicious firmware could do a lot of damage, use of USB is preferred since they do not have DMA. Completely remove the microphone, sound card, webcam and the WWAN card from the laptop. Remove the fan to prevent binary acoustic data transmission. Replace the default wifi card with a supported atheros card. Disable wifi when not in use. Make your own independent Linux distro. Most Linux distros value covenience over security and will thus never have good security. Your only option is to make your own. Use musl instead of glibc, Libressl instead of openssl, sinit instead of systemd, oksh instead of bash to reduce attack surface. Enable as little kernel modules as possible to reduce attack surface. Use a hardened memory allocator. Apply strong SELinux and sandboxing policies. Restrict the root account heavily to make sure it never gets compromised. Disable JavaScript and CSS in your browser. Block all FAGMAN domains in your hosts file. Monitor all network requests. Do not use a phone. Never speak near anyone who owns a phone, they are always listening. Never use any technology made after 2008 except for technology which can be corebooted/librebooted and is not skylake onwards. Never leave your devices unattended. Tape triple layer aluminum foil all around your room as ghetto tempest shielding. Type really quietly as defense against audio keylogging. Use ecc ram to minimize rowhammer and rambleed. Encrypt everything multiple times with various different encryption implementations. Compile everything from source. Use hardened compilation flags. Always read through the code before installing something if possible. Only use the internet when necessary.

It really depends on how bad it gets. If he's to be judged and tried retroactively for voicing his "wrong" opinion in the past, it's over, but if that isn't the case, he can still get great leverage against tyranny by simply conducting further communications privately.

Learn how to use firewalls, public key cryptography such ad GnuPG and darknets such as Hyphanet. I'd say that's a good start.

I've never used any social media or stuff like Discord.

This. I hate the term "privacy schizo" because it implies mental illness and the whole cypherpunk sentiment being unreasonable, meanwhile all the mass surveillance issues are well proven things and real problems for society. OP sounds like a 15 year old girl on Tiktok "trying out" a new mentall illness when saying he wants to become a "privacy schizo".

>>106115012
Semantics, nobody cares, we all know what he meant.

>>106115029
Of course, but what's the point? A thread like this appears biweekly and it's the same old tired responses. The point is I'm not willing to write an essay about online privacy if OP barely has any interest in the topic anyway, as evident by him not just looking shit up on 4get/Searx instead of making these threads. It's the same shit like those "how do I learn programming?", or "How do I learn the Linux shell?". In any case, if OP wants a proper answer, he should put more effort in his OP and maybe ask an actual question such as "Is there any evidence that Tor has been broken and how does this affect Tor users with X thread model?", "I screwed up my Coreboot, this went wrong. What now?", "How does the proprietary microcode in Coreboot effect privacy?", or "How do I create an I2P site?". Those would be privacy-related questions worth writing half an essay for. Call me a faggot or whatever, but it gets tiring answering the same old questions over and over again.

There's no entrance to the rabbit hole.
Once you understand the fear of somebody snooping, you'll become one. If you want to become one, not to look cool, but because you think you genuinely want to, then you already are one.

It can't be forced.

Yeah, I agree. There's been this ongoing narrative coming from all angles of western culture for decades, that valuing your privacy, keeping personal secrets and having personal boundaries are personality defects that will end up harming others. But these "personality defects" are the most important ways you can resist the abuses of others. So this "privacy schizo" shit, to me, tells me OP either doesn't take his personal agency seriously or he's continuing this tired old narrative that keeping away prying eyes is a symbol of paranoia.

Akin to other cultural marxist false narratives and terms like "racist" and "climate change denier". Even if you use their own lingo to argue against them, you already lost because acknowledgement alone validates the underlying lie, yet I stand by what I said about semantics; doesn't actually matter in a place like this.

You buy an x200, libreboot it, and start hoppy schizoing about becoming as untraceable as possible on it, for fun, and then eventually you go down the rabbit hole like preppers do hoarding shit

FUN FACT: You will not find the real, true, hardcore privacy schizos on the internet. The real privacy schizos reject ICTs as much as possible, they refuse to connect with the internet.

Whenever you meet some "privacy schizo" on a forum, remember: They are not true privacy schizos. They are larpers. The true privacy schizos are offline. They have already left the building.

>>106114782 (OP)
it used to be really prevalent in the early 2010's. you had schizos telling you how to setup a maximum privacy security system to hide your coomer shit no one really cared about. I eventually realized I had nothing really to hide that was worth encrypting although it was all really cool and interesting knowledge to know. I learned stuff like the one-time pad which I still think is the ultimate means to communicate in complete secrecy if that is what you desire.

>>106119135
I think schizo here was meant to imply obsession or great interest/concern rather than actual schizophrenia driving somebody into that level of isolation.

>>106118984
>gets called schizo jokingly and affectionately
>goes on a total schizo rant
sometimes it's better to shut up

>>106119161
I see no contradiction. And since mental illness is a social construct anyway, it fits even more. Diagnosis: privacy schizo.

>>106119093
I see where your coming from, but there's difference between defending your sanity in the face of gay buzzwords like OP's, and just calling out BS for what it is. You gotta form your own counter-narrative at some point, so it never hurts to just call out a retard every now and then. false-narrative injecting ass niggas always get real dejected at some good old fashioned ridicule.

>>106114782 (OP)
X200, libreboot, trisquel or parabola
but for real - don't do it
just make small decisions with common sense
stop using google/microsoft for all you email/cloud storage/authenticator needs
diversify, choose alternatives, which track you less
start selfhosting things

You can try reading /g on acid but nowadays most threads are boring, high chances that you will just waste time. Maybe try reading archive from 2010-2020. I mean everything is extremely simple and obvious, the problem is that people can't notice it or understand what exactly is wrong even when presented with this information explicitly.

>>106119790
also be careful, becoming privacy schizo can influence your life a lot, it made me poor but the dating situation improved a lot

>>106119826
also it depends on what you do after you are prescribed meds, I didn't always take them when needed, but sometimes to make the effect of weed stronger, maybe it had some influence
fun fact, the doctor told me that privacy schizos are right

>libreboot
Libreboot is proprietary these days. Now only option is to use GNU Boot.

>>106119116
>>106119244
why do all of you fags buy an x200 laptop instead of just running a desktop? is there something special about the hardware components?

...how does that improve your dating situation
