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.
I dont have a brain and find this book insulting because I can’t read. How dare you post something I don’t like! I’m not here to create content or participate in meaningful discussion. I prefer to incite flame over absolutely nothing at all.
The 80s were 40 years ago. The security landscape is so different now, even if it was a perfectly valid book on how to actually hide anything then, it is not accurate at all to the current environment and internet. There may be some physical security things that apply, but even with those there are likely things that now need to be taken into account that did not exist then.
You all are fools. No one on average reads this type of book. It’s not like everyone has a reference of all these hiding spaces. It is hands on so it is very practical.
It is very difficult to have an objective and meaningful conversation with someone who considers their audience to be simpletons and fools right from the gate. Add in condescending references to the masses as ‘normies’ et al or those with conflicting opinions labeled as ‘hypebeasts’.
If we are the enlightened, why don’t we come down from our enlightened pedestals and assist our fellow man in lieu of brow beating them from some assumed level of superiority or high ground? If I were one of the supposed ‘normies’ and you were trying to convince of privacy, security, and anonymity with the tone you arrived here a few days ago with, I’d probably tell you to piss right off. We’re all here to learn and help learn, and take that knowledge and teach others around us how to use their technology in the most safe, secure, and private manner possible.
Condescending attitudes and tones don’t do much to further the cause.

Yeah, hiding things is obsolete since physical objects can be encrypted. Duuuyrrrrr
Soldier of Fortune vibes

Are you some kind of novelty account? Would explain the name

Not interested in you. Read the book or don’t
It’s not really the book that is the issue
that’s a… mature, measured, and well thought-out reply. good job!
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.
