  • I've never encountered one irl, but there's a fair few online.

  • I find it plenty portable, but that's because I have to take a bag everywhere because I don't have pockets.

    Jump

  • I've been in a similar mindset to you and for me I found it was very easy to get overly conspiratorial, paranoid and afraid of the state of things. So just keep in mind to do things that are proportional and healthy, ok?

    That aside, the most important thing to think about is to have a threat model. You can't defend yourself until you know what you are trying to defend yourself against.

    For example, "encrypt your hard drives" is only practical advice if your threat model includes authorities coming to your house, taking your computer, and reading what's on it.

    You need to define which data you want to be private from whom. Then you can look at how they're getting it, and only then can you take measures to stop them.

    Feel free to reply with your threat model and I could maybe give actionable advice.

  • This is a Kererū, a wood pigeon native to Aotearoa. They play an important part in the ecosystem because they're the only birds big enough to eat certain berries like what's pictured. Their favourite thing to eat is kōwhai flowers. Their numbers used to be somewhat threatened, but they've been making a great comeback in the last few decades.

    Here's a video of one eating a big berry, showing that it can in fact get it down: https://youtu.be/SVMTEExp2_s
