So you dug that dusty 2009 laptop out of the closet, slapped Linux on it, and suddenly you're running a self-hosted VPN, Pi-hole, and maybe a Nextcloud instance. Your friends think you've gone full tinfoil hat mode, but you're just practicing good OPSEC (operational security) like any reasonable person who's read one too many articles about data brokers.
The drill sergeant format is chef's kiss here—because yeah, caring about digital privacy in 2024 shouldn't be some fringe conspiracy theory. It's literally just common sense with extra steps. That old ThinkPad running Debian isn't paranoia; it's called not wanting your smart toaster to know your browsing history.
Plus, Linux on old hardware is basically necromancy. That machine was practically e-waste until you gave it a second life as your personal Fort Knox. Windows would've needed 45 minutes just to boot.
