Title: The 'No hard-drive movement'
Post by: RedRocket on October 28, 2011, 05:50 pm
hey boys ;)

ive come bearing some of my ways :D

im anti-hard drive, as some of you know...

my mottos is....fuck thy hard drive.

the real answer is simple, the answer is MicroSD...

i can do everything i want to without a hard drive, i can play youtube videos flawlessly...if not better than using windows.....i can use skype to speak to very distant relatives with not one hiccup to this day...i can go into java based chatrooms and speak shit till my heart is content....all without a stupid fucking hard drive....and this is just the basics....

i  can also switch distros on the single microsd card that i use when it suits me,when im good...i can chose ubuntu or linux mint or a multitude of other distros

or when im bad...i can switch to tails/liberte/privatix etc etc....

if shit hits the fan,i can either swallow it or hide it inside the tiniest crevice.

the possibilities are endless

join me....burn thy fucking hard drive, it will only fuck you up the ass....in ways you would imagine were impossible

yeah, phubaiblues is a beast that's for sure!  I like the whole no hdd thing, I think it's smart.  However I'm assuming you have a microSD reader built into your computer?  I have an old dell running windows 2000 collecting dust I wonder would the microSD setup work on that?

Swallowing a microSD is a whole lot easier/better than trying to swallow a usb lol, (which is what I'm currently using)

truesay...i havent seen someone more interested in security than phubaiblues....  and yeah, i have a card reader adapter for my microsd...which turns it into a usb drive.. and its also extremely tiny.....i just wish my usb internet dongle was just as tiny...

pro tip:dont buy top up credit for your internet dongle yourself, maybe sell weed for it ;)

if you can get an operating system onto a microsd card, you are ten times more ahead of the person that only encrypts there hard drive to 'beyond military standard"....on condition that you know how to get rid of a spec of dust.lol...IN MY OPINION...so yeah,IN MY OPINION, you are apart of the ELITE if you commit crimes via live distros on a microSD card...there is none above you ....how does that make you feel?lol...to be the best of the best???

to encrypt your microsSD is yoda knowledge

You do realize that the microsd is essentially a hard drive, right? You're still storing data on a non-volatile medium.

Sure, it's a little more portable than a 2.5" SSD - but it's the same damn thing except slower. Protippity - Truecrypt your shit regardless.

yeah i realise that,becuase its the only medium i have....it sure as hell feels like a hardrive!!!  only difference is,its only the size of my pinky nail.....

at the end of the day, it is all about portabilty...theres no way in hell u will be able to get rid of a real hard drive if the pigs comes crashing thru.....but with a microsd...theres hope...and alot of it!!:)

yea, i get it... you can swallow a microsd easier than you could a 2.5" SSD - but I know some chicks who could swallow that too if yah know what I mean. honestly, it doesn't matter - if LE is coming after you and all they're riding on is snagging your data for a successful prosecution the judge probably won't even sign it. you're gonna be fucked regardless.

there is a headless windows 7 install that can boot off of a 8gb (32bit) or 16gb (64bit) if one doesn't want to figure out linux. but if you've gotten this far you're probably intelligent enough to tackle something as simple as a lightweight debian distro.

why you think i'm leo btw? because i pointed out that what you're using is just a scaled down hard drive? really tho, why do you care? not like i can do anything about you if i were.

lol I like redrockets way of speaking lol  I'm going for the whole low profile "look" so took all my  pgp and tor and all that crap off my computer wiped all my freespace with like a 7 pass wipe and stuck it all on a usb.  Now here Red comes in with the frickin microsd card! DAMN you red, just DAMN you lol!

what size micro are you using?  I know I have a 16gig laying around from one of my tablets.  The other poster mentioned a headerless windows 7 which can operate from a micro, care to explain this more?  Like is that somesort of warez windows7?  I can't imagine ol Mr. Gates allowing his retail version of windows 7 to become portable, but hay that's just me

Good thread! :)

I agree that if they're after me, it'll be something I'm *not* paying attention to...more than likely it'll be some beautiful young babe dea agent chatting me up in the pub, and me wanting to show off what a wise motherfucker I am, than thru tor liabilitities.   Mostly I operate on theory that you shore up as much as you can: try to keep HD clean of anything to do with TO pursuits.  So I don't use vm, tho I see the advantages of going down that road.

I've always liked xpud and puppylinux and such ... if anybody is familiar with google's latest: chromebooks, where Chrome is the OS...all the OS is just the browser...then to me, xpud is linux's version of the chromebook. 

But on here, as stated, I like using Tails or Liberte Linux or Privatix.  I think any one of them is good enough.  Tails just keeps me 'honest' because everything gets erased, and I'm with RedRocket, and keep most stuff of interest in the cloud.  I like Liberte better, after I used it a while, just found the browser irritating, but I've gotten spoiled.  I hope some other people check out Privatix...it was more of a hassle, the way I loaded it, burn to dvd: then use dvd to load to flash drive...

Main thing about a linux distro, is if you get in the habit, of always going to some other computer to 'buy' on main forum, keeps stuff distant, but I'm not always a safe camper, so...

Wish all my habits were as good as these: I've stated before, that sometimes I fear I'll be real careful in one area, and kind of slack in another...haha, slack....got me dialing out on still *another* good flash drive linux distro, with tors, is 'slax': http://www.slax.org/  and look for the 'Tork' modules.

I try to keep changing up, but keep it to the flash or pen drive...and even there, I keep it small, to 4gb drive, all I need, and like said, u can make it disappear in all kinds of interesting places... :)

I'm with RedRocket, and keep most stuff of interest in the cloud. 

could you explain this, "in the cloud"?  What does that mean?
@redrocket, if that was you drunk I'd hate to see you sober lol, you made PERFECT since to me :D

You could also set Tails (or whatever distro you're using) up in a virtual machine and run it on top of your existing OS environment. Encrypt the virtual machine volume with TrueCrypt and you should be good to go. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/using-a-portable-virtualbox-to-run-linux-from-usb/

Basically by "the cloud" he means online. This is how the Google ChromeOS operates. All the user data is downloaded and loaded when the OS is booted. It makes it very lightweight this way. They are using the "cloud" as a means to store their data without having a physical tie too it.

so you have to put your trust in tails
put your trust in your virtual machine
put your trust in your existing operating system
put your trust in truecrypt
and god knows what else you put trust in

relying on all these fancy things is a no go for me....im in the frame of mind that everything is rigged/backdoored/controlled by the pigs....hence why im using a microsd card...i feel in control when i have everything in the space of my pinky nail...i feel safe most importantly....

and to further add,if the pigs came smashing thru your door...goodluck with that...the police are the masters at making you spill the beans....why give give them the opportunity to fuck your mind?....if you go microsd....theres nothing for them to fuck you with...its pure win

If they're anything like you're saying whats to stop them torturing you to get a confession or making you throw up this Micro sd card they know you use.

There's paranoid defense systems and there's pointless shit. This won't really help in anyway I can see against the police arresting you for anything. By all means continue to do it, I'd rather everyone was overly paranoid than not and it also could protect you against someone who's in your house finding whatever and snitching on you etc but not to the degree you say. I'm sure if the police are able to have backdoors in open source public programs like Trucrypt without anyone saying then they're probably also your fucking dealer too ala A Scanner Darkly.

Some of us adapt to the new world, and some don't: I presume same is true for LE.  I mean, who are we, where are we?  A lot of shit, I just can't control, I know that.  These are just some of the things I can.  I never believed totally, that if I had some hi-powered super governmental hacker on my trail, that they couldn't sort all this out...and part of the fun is trying to figure what/who/when all that.  But no one really knows.  Again, it's not for everybody. 

A little acceptance here is handy, that no one is sure of shit, and that we protect ourselves best we can.  Mostly I started out feeling the vm is the way to go....but then live distros caught my attention....I just know too much on my HD and I get totally careless.

Also, lets face it, most of us are small fry--not high-power  dealers, just some libertarian druggies trying to have a little fun...I've only talked to one lawyer, a recent grad, kind of a friend, and when I ran down some of this, he said, just keep your mouth shut, and call me, this would be a great case.   Tying somebody to anything illegal will be quite a job...and getting a judge to give out search warrants on .... what? 

I"m sure somewhere in the future--hopefully distant--we'll find out which was the best defense, and which the worst...but it's good for computer skills anyway, to be trying out different apps different approaches, see what pans out...

i mean they are the masters of manipulation....  whats stopping them from torturing me,uhm ,human rights?lol...thankgod though...but because physical abuse  is out of the equation they have chanelled all there energy into manipulation....and they will fuck you up the ass if you dont know how to exert your rights.....

i may not even swallow my microsd,who knows(i do), i may even have a hand held grinder that will make it into dust in 10 seconds and then sprinkle it out my window.lol..or i might have a little pot of molten larvae by my bedside that i can chuck it into with just one flick..lol..

and yeah its probably overkill for most of you guys....its all depends on what your up te you bad little shits...

and i think there are some discrepancies in regards to truecrypt's opensource business ..cant just remember...i dont use it anways

anyways....wish my internet dongle was tiny too....its making me sick to my stomach just looking at it, its bulkyness is ridicoulous...
