Ah, another well-thought-out tech law from OzGov in the vein of such hits as 'The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia' and the AssAct. I swear we're the designated test ground for dodgy laws for the five (7,13,etc) eyes...

Should be standard operating procedure anyway...

Sane response to an insane world...

think of it as another option after flight vs fight responses

Usually expressed as fight, flight or freeze...

Thanks for that, worth knowing.

True, but OP refers to 'some cherished items'

I assumed the context here was torrenting rather than streaming, download blu-ray remuxes and encode to your liking.

A 16Tb manufacturer recertified drive is USD160 which should sort storage (and later get a second for offline backup). I'm actually holding out until I get GPU encode (apparently CPU is somewhat better, but power considerations, maybe next gen). Do wish the scene would get on with switching, though, are we dinosaurs?

No idea, I was just using it to illustrate the existence of compromised exit nodes, which to my mind are a pretty fatal flaw in TOR, perhaps someone knowledgeable can chime in.

RetroArch doesn’t have Xbox/PS2/switch

No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch... Best have a look before starting.

More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you'll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you'll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn't matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it's easy to switch to another. You've got time, take some to skill up.

Compromised ? Maybe, but this guy doesn't provide any evidence one way or the other. He's using at least 7 other possible vectors (apparently Calculator Photo Vault just hides the gallery, no encryption, so it's over right there) which is way too many for good opsec.

With Tor the question has always been compromised exit nodes as I understand it.
