Lol.

I honestly the paranoia path is something we all have walked until the descent to Dante infernos. Once you are there you realized this is not a place to live and then get a bit more practical. :)

I any case it is good mental exercise to check to what extend your threat model is not covering those situations. At least you know where your defence perimeter ends.

For everything else, selfhosting! ;)

Your problem is that the chain of untrust has not hit the ground yet.

At some point, you need to trust some technology or system.

You can continue until you are in comfortable ground and then build you trust chain. But honestly following your line of thoughts you will probably end up in a non digital area.

In my case I followed a similar path, but I am totally aware that I can not put resistance to a well funded and well manned intelligence agency, so the high quality industrial level is probably fine for me.

I have several copies on f my backups and all of them are encrypted and signed with rsa, the so are all of them open sources and well audited versions. The only point I relaxed is my phone and I try not have sensitive information on it but vpn and proxies just in case I need them.

I almost don’t use cloud services anymore and the one that I use he a nice record for keeping privacy.

My objective is not to stop Cia, but industry, scammers and all other nasty guys in the wild.

It is tiring, uncomfortable and sometimes cumbersome. But I think it is worthy

Not good, you are going to lose a lot of stuff, from personal relations, connections to your wife and even your health.

I hope (really) your are not in a compromised financial situation and this is really temporary. If so, it is OK but you need to have a plan to reduce the hours in the foresable future.

If this is not the situation, then learn how to disconnect from the work in the spare time and spent quality time when possible, also do cardio. It helps. A lot.

When you are young you can really chew everything it is throwed at you, but it is not true anymore when you are past the 40s.

Take care of yourself, nobody else is going to do it.
