    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?

      No problems here, URLvoid and Webbkoll don’t show any security issue, Limewire is a legit site. For sure a false positive of one of the uBO filters

      Yeah on one of my browsers it flagged it. Which is odd because Limewire is a legit business that’s been around before social media, but they use to get hated on by companies and regulators because they allowed people to share free music. I don’t have any other links personally. As I directly uploaded this file myself. I see that 70 people downloaded it so far with no problem.

      I would recommend making an exception on your ublock for it, after you research limewire and see if you trust it.

          102 downloads so far. I guess it’s not blocked. Just because you all don’t like a site or platform doesn’t mean I’ll conform. I’ll check soulseek at my leisure though, if it is superior in functionality and efficiency then I will switch.

        Limewire has had a history of uploaders using it for malware distribution (hence why it’s probably included in the filter).

          Fair enough, I didn’t think about that. But I feel every torrent or sharing site has that potential flaw.

    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.
