I pulled 11 dupes from one multi . FML <| sep |> Like in the first verse ? When switching from scream to talkclean ? <| sep |> We are all banned on this special day . <| sep |> Until the commercial real estate bubble pops . <| sep |> Me too , and also often forgot to change my government to a more advanced one . <| sep |> Not really . You can use a customised OS and an airtight browser , go through multiple VPNs that you paid for in bitcoin , and throw TOR in there for good measure , but at the end of the day you ' re not going to outsmart GCHQ . You could write your own software and firewall that fetches websites for you in text format so you know nothing is getting in or out of your computer , but unless you ' re already a guru that ' s not feasible . Even then , how can you be sure your wifi drivers aren ' t injecting data into your DNS requests ready to be intercepted and decrypted by your secretly complicit VPN ? Your BIOS ? The firmware that runs your CMOS chip ? You can ' t compile it all . The only way to be sure is to stop using computers . Personally I think taking basic measures is going to be enough to stop most surveillance so that ' s what I do . GCHQ probably aren ' t going to bother putting the extra resources into checking up on me because they ' ve got no reason to think I ' m a nuclear power .
