Veracrypt hidden volume attached to an air gapped system. Unless someone kicks down the door and grabs you faster than you can click once, no one is getting at, or will realize that data exists.

Lynx.

If I don’t need image or video content, it’s great.

I can’t share it all here for reasons I can’t detail.

I may do a second write up at some point for public distribution and if so, I will share it with you here.

I am trying to get people I know personally to stop posting and reading and instead begin to focus on the very basics of actual organization, in the form of simply being able to communicate effectively and securely.

I have collected and written up information for them with the consideration that they are non-technical, pertaining to secure and private communications primarily, but also many more potentially useful emergency-scenario information and data which I will not speak about here.

The package I have started giving to my friends contains information such as:

• How to communicate securely using something like Simplex or I2P
• How to correctly configure and use a VPN
• How to flash a security distribution of Linux such as TailsOS to a flash drive and how to boot to it from a computer
• How to securely encrypt data to a device using an encryption software with hidden volume features such as VeraCrypt
• A litany of manuals for all kinds of useful information you can use in emergencies, which I will not detail here
• Files containing the data required to build potentially useful items in emergencies given access to the correct hardware which I will not detail here

I firmly believe that the majority of Americans will not do anything until someone is actually showing up at their door, coming after them in the street, or destroying the regularities of their personal day to day life, so my intention is to distribute materials which they can turn to when the fear sets into them well enough that they are scared to talk about such things openly.

It is clear to me that most of my American friends at least, at this point, still only feel superficial fear and outrage. The other day I asked them “If you had to vandalize a public space with a piece of art, what would you draw or paint? Let’s say it is the side of a bank”.

One said “tits”, one said “flowers”, one said “a fox”.

Even in a fantasy, they would not express fear or outrage in a public setting.

I have had pretty good luck with airvpn, but the ultimate is mullvad as I understand it, though relatively speaking it is much more expensive than airvpn.

True, they are typically 12 volt aren’t they!

I just took mine out of my car for an unrelated issue haha, totally valid suggestion!

I think it might be the case for some, but mostly I think that more people on Lemmy are less focused on themselves and personal anecdotes. More often I see people here reaching for cited resources to support what they’re saying instead of “Oh one time my Uncle’s friend’s cousin…”. It still happens here, but not nearly in the same capacity from what I’ve seen.
