TechrightsSocial@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com reshared: So I had an idea. Say you're using a public wi-fi connection and you're concerned that your computer is being monitored. You could carry a #raspberrypi or small plug computer in your bag, powered by a battery, with a wifi dongle connected to it, you could use a remote desktop client to connect to the pi and connect *that* to the wifi network.

schestowitzFirst I would add offense to your defensive mentality. Think about disinfo for whomever is after you. Eventually a person has to evaluate what's going on, and you can confuse them fairly effectively.Mar 16 10:26
schestowitzI would buy an old computer with cash, run linux, and use public wi-fi. The bigger question is if you're doing something that's questionable in the first place. Most the feds I know are decent guys who are fine with you doing stuff that isn't dangerous to other folks. I would just assume they could find out whatever they know to look for; which is accurate.Mar 16 10:26

schestowitz"The religion, banking, and 9/11 info from the original Zeitgeist was decent and relatively unique when it came out in one package in 2007. Now this guy is playing politics; shame. Zeitgeist omitted key counterpoints such as: 1) how free-market capitalism improves things; 2) eras of stable currency and sound banking that were awesome! 3) Christ's unique theology of being God incarnate and preaching that God is within us all. Mar 16 10:29
schestowitzWhat we see thus are open doors for two current establishment efforts: (a) Criticizing capitalism as evil and thus regulation is the answer; (b) deconstructing religion in order to destroy local communities sharing their beliefs, thus isolating the individual for increased sensitivity to various other propaganda."Mar 16 10:29

There might have been a time where GIMP was the crown jewel of open source graphics, but now you've got Blender, Krita, GIMP, MyPaint, Alchemy, and so on and so on. Krita is amazing, and it's a far better painting tool than the GIMP, but my pencil is also a way better writing implement than my fork."Mar 16 17:05
