I'm fairly certain Tor is better than a new laptop.
No shit Sherlock
Stolen laptop + tails + stolen car + McDonald's wifi
I am not quite sure buying a new laptop is better than Tor, unless you have a way to buy the laptops anonymously with cash and not being seen by any cameras. Then you would still need to connect to a different network every time.
Fun tip for anyone in a country with blacklisted torrent sites- TOR browser plows right through it. You can open up TOR and go straight to thepiratebay.org.
Straight to it...after a 30 second delay. Tor is great. It's just far too slow for general browsing
Needs another layer for VPN chaining after driving 1 hour away to use public WiFi so they never know where you truly are.
... only for you to google: "burger restaurant near "
Surely you'd be able to triangulate the VPN connections based on the 1 hour drive.
Better to just become a nomad.
Tails is basically the bottom one anyways.
ye
Damn straight
In a cat and mice game the mice will always be the one tot lose. You know who wouldn't lose to a cat? A pack of dogs. Be a pack of dogs. I'm gonna stop here before I say something very illegal bye.
Let's kill the capitalists, yes, you're right
Ok, I'm a pack of dogs. Now what?
Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.
You can set one up your network and just point your DNS request at it on a device-by-device basis. So your wife would only use it if she wanted to.
Oh cool. That could be a good solution! Thanks!
If you run it bare metal (not in a dockercontainers for example) it's quite easy to set it up on a raspberry pi or other hardware. The wife would even know it's existence if you don't tell her and use a standard config in the blocklists ..give it a try ..you're gonna love it
Pi-hole is pretty robust and not super hard to set up. You can run pi-hole on relatively cheap hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi 3B. I’m a big fan of Libre Computing’s “le-potato” board for running pi-hole; it’s a cheap raspberry pi clone. You’ll need some basic Linux skills but if you can follow step by step directions you’ll be fine. If you use a raspberry pi or similar hardware you’ll also need a micro SD card reader during the set up process.
VPN, block cookies, noscript, never sign into any user account.
Can you say more about never signing into a user account? I'm not sure I'm making the connection here.
You say that from your signed in account
I am not SpongeBob.
What's pihole?
It's a self hosted DNS that you can easily run on a raspberry pi
A handy trapdoor protecting your network from ads. Any web hosts associated with ads don't make it through. Most commonly hosted on raspberry pis; it can be installed with basically one command in linux terminal, then configure your router to connect to it. It blocks ads at the network level and is glorious (though if ads are stored at same domain as the content, like most streaming ads are these days, you're out of luck)
Oh thanks for the help!
