Libreboot maybe. If you're prepared to brick your system on firmware level. Being private has almost become a hobby for me. I'd like to one day try to make the most private laptop possible

There's really nothing we can do. All we can do is take solace knowing that (You) probably won't be targeted in that kind of individual surveillance.

wait, is this implying that mullvad, firefox, tor, etc. are corporate backed, or safe from it?

IME and its AMD counterpart aren't some niche topic.
>>108000407
It's hyped up more than what it is desu. It's a nice alternative to the stock BIOS/UEFI, maintained regularly, and the GRUB payload allows for FDE, which is neat.

This by itself does NOT keep glowniggers away; it's not that simple, this just addresses part of the firmware concerns.

There are no solutions, because no matter where we are in the world, and no matter what we do, we are ALWAYS being watched by the matrix system, AND our souls are recording every single thing we experience in this matrix reality, which gets written into our soul's akashic records. This entire world we live in is a matrix reality generated by the moon (which is an Andromedan biosphere ship hiding behind a giant hologram). The Galactic Federation (the space equivalent to the glowfags here on earth) has full access to the matrix reality system. The matrix reality system is sort of like a giant honeycomb, and each cell has a person who's entire life experience is being watched.

Privacy has never existed throughout the entirety of earth's history, and the glowfags already know this, but they give us the illusion that it does so that they can keep the people distracted and living in fear of being spied on. However, this doesn't mean that we should give up on privacy altogether. It's still very useful for things like protecting ourselves from the mind-controlled normie and NPC slave masses, protecting ourselves from data collection and profiling, and so much more. Even though the Galactic Federation is keeping a watchful eye on everyone, it's still critically important for us to maintain our privacy through the use of FOSS apps, Linux, piracy, disabling intel IME/AMD PSP, etc.

On another note, I've been having fun with Linux Mint since 2024:

why do they want to ban vpns/encryption etc. if it's all easily accessible by a backdoor or a honeypot?

corporate-backed is open source though

the people with backdoor access and the people banning vpn/encryption are not the same people

There's tricks to disable IME and the AMD PSP, but as long as someone else is involved in making the hardware you can't be 100% sure there's not another backdoor. IMO the answer is to identify your threat level and act accordingly. You can take solace that glowies can't watch everyone in detail (at least not yet, that's why every corp and govt is pushing for AI). Dont fall for the propaganda, everything you do still makes it harder (i.e more expensive) to spy on you, they want you to think you can do nothing so that you default on using the cheapest spyware.

Air gap the main computer.
Make a rotation of computers for different purposes, each airgapped most of the time
Prevent the computers from being addressable. If they don't know where to send an exploit then on most hardware they cannot deliver it.
Avoid drawing attention to an addressable computer while it's still addressable.
Get a pair of digital cameras and download OCR software. When you encrypt on main PC that has your keys, take a picture of the ciphertext with camera A. Camera A is never plugged into the main airgapped PC. Then use camera B to receive ciphertext from others and plug it into the main PC. This way the only input they can get into the main PC is that ciphertext into a text file. Use an encryption software that has as few lines of code as possible, memory safety, etc. Use it in a fully emulated VM running in userland, restrict the privileges of the emulator as much as you can.

As for sending messages to a destination, theoretically you could rent a VPS for each message and put a script on it that will forward the ciphertext file to some destination server. That way your machine (which doesn't even have the keys) will be airgapped/unaddressable when the destination server receives the messages, so even an automated system would not be able to hack every computer in the chain all the way back to yours.

One of your PCs you will use to download bulk data like wikipedia, books, message board archives, educational things, LLMs, all that.

Never use the internet from a place tied to your identity. use it from as far away as possible.

Destroy machines as often as you can afford.

Do use chains of tunnel in countries that hate your country to slow down tracing so you're disconnected long before they get anywhere. Use a chain for as little time as possible

Set up public services like free email and tunnel thru it

Something like this should be so expensive to deal with that going after you IRL is immensely cheaper.

What's the ARM equivalent of IntelME and AMD PSP if there's any?
>>
It's simple. Take your schizophrenia medication and the issue goes away.
>>
intel ME having access to TCP is the funniest little bit of all time
>>
PSP is bad news, but at least it doesn't have network access unlike IME. Talking about PSP and ME in the same context is dishonest
>>
>>108000347
if you actually needed that privacy you wouldn't use any software or hardware that could be traced back to you.
stop your larp. nobody cares about you.

Why can't we use shit that doesn't immediately go rotten for things like this?

Like is there a reason why we couldn't wire a shitload of trees together as a source of power that won't just turn into a horrible mush after a few days?

Don't use compromised hardware, simple as. My laptop is a Core2 Duo stinkpad, and my main rig a 3.8ghz P4. Everything just werks, but normies can't enjoy this freedom because of the skills it takes to make it all work.

Close enough. Welcome back, Lain.

>>108000347
ME and PSP are both nothingburgers for people who need strong meds rather than better opsec. They have their own legit use cases, and if they were actually spying on anyone, we would notice that, because its not like malware can magically phone home without anyone noticing.
