    Here’s an actual good book:

    Helen Nissenbaum (2009). Privacy in Context: Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press. ISBN 9780804772891.

    I mean this is certainly something somebody wrote, but the content is a joke.

    first off, it’s from the 80s, so it might as well be from the 1800s, that’s how much it has to do with our everyday lives. second, it’s rife and overflowing with prepper-adjacent gas and fantasies. the writer’s style is lacking, to be overly generous and the whole thing gives off vibes from the days or alt.* newsgroups. finally, the “advice” in there is laughably naive and sometimes just plain wrong.

    so thanks OP, had a few laughs browsing it but this got deleted almost instantly.

      Omg stfu the 80s might as well be the 1800? Just use the book if you need. If you can’t find any useful tips or something you’ve never thought about it’s probably because you just never think.

        In the 80s the cops could just kill anyone they wanted and blame a serial killer. Now they do it on bodycam and nobody cares. Things change.

    If you’re cooked, then just use a lighter to set the thing you don’t want to be exposed on fire.

    This site immediately got flagged by uBlock Origin’s malicious sites filter, do you have an Anna’s Archive link or an ISBN I can use to look this book up?

    Well the simple ideas in the beginning seem plausible but afterwards it’s basically dig a hole, hide the thing, put a house (or tree) on top of it. It’s indeed hidden but you also can’t access it any more.

      It all depends on your security model.

      If you want to stuff some cash, you probably want that easily accessible.

      If you want to hide something you’ll need in a few years, you’ll probably stuff it under a pile of junk.

      If you want to make your family heirlooms safe until you reveal their location on your deathbed, planting a tree or building a house on top of them is a valid ultra-long-term option.
