Not sure if you know what your talking about, you sound a bit like a bot #NSA-proof #distrohop

In case you're genuinely curious, 'NSA-proof' is a portmanteau from NSA and 'idiot-proof'. Distrohopping is when people change (usually GNU/Linux) distributions once a month or so (which is an allusion at tongue-in-cheek conjecture that one can change distributions faster than NSA can break them). Have a good day, fellow human.

>one can change distributions faster than NSA can break them

Oh man i don't know what to say. Does one distrohop the ssd/efi/net/wireless/keyboard/etc-firmware too?

One distrohoped for 15 years and that vuln existed all the time..but hey it would be just that one...it's an exception right? ;)

How many completely different browsers exist? And how many local exploitable user to root exploits exist in the Apple/Linux/BSD world's? If your a valued target and you are connected to a network you WILL be hacked.

Buddy, I'm not gonna follow this thread anymore because you seem to be baiting me to read you a lecture on OPSEC, security in depth and compartmentalization.

Buddy, your distro hopping advice is advice so bad, that the most charitable interpretation is you have no idea what you’re talking about.

Seriously? Distro hop? My brain hurts, I need coffee.

Lol, this is so fucking funny. Distro a day, NSA stays away! Amazing.
