20 euros and patience for other people

My concern is that Faraday cages have limitations and you should think about mitigations

I'd add you can get around this with a custom DNS server with DNSSEC

So only thing is they might just store all the data locally and send it when they get reception again. Microsoft Word used to do this with "Aria"

Did you build or find some yet?

I like this, nice and simple

Hmmm, thanks for the thoughts. Any better mental frameworks for organization?

Dell gaming laptops are decent for the price and might get a discount if you have the preinstall Ubuntu (since you're not buying Windows)

The UX is nice and modern, better than iMessage and other messaging apps I've used. Scheduling messages, group chats allow people to come and go (mod approved) all seem more modern than other chat apps

Totally agree, but what about normies who don't know much or have a friend to help? Cyber security is such a deep well that even a professional doesn't know everything

Maybe it's becoming more like medicine, where everyone needs to know the basics but have professionals for guidance?

Totally, difficult but by no means impossible. I think we should be cautious and have less hubris when it comes to computer security, that was my point

To add to the other security conscious comments, even if you wanted to run a VM, there are attacks that escalpe the VM and hit the underlining OS

Computers are inherently insecure
