  • Exactly. I have some space on there that comes with Office365 or whatever. I use rclone to back up my personal, non-git stuff to my nas from my laptops and pc. I use rclone on my nas to push encrypted backups of all those personal files to one drive. I have the space, I might as well use it. If my house burns down and the house with cold backups burns down, well hopefully I’ll still have access to my pictures and memories and shit.






  • If it got to the point you were being investigated/prosecuted and you used a computer you didn’t properly dispose of afterwards, yes. They’ll take a forensic image of the system and trawl through it to find any artifacts left by your participation.

    If you went and downloaded LOIC manually, you probably didn’t get compromised.

    If a suss encoded powershell command loads and executes some dll in memory from the internet, which then runs some dechained process that’s sending the ddos traffic you probably got compromised.

    Just like anything, you could make your intentional participation look like a compromise. You could also just buy a laptop with cash on fb marketplace, go to McDonald’s or Starbucks or some shit, get on their public WiFi, then just stash the laptop under a booth or something.

    Side note, does anyone know if anyone wound up getting prosecuted for their participation in LOIC campaigns?

    Yes, treating crypto as a way to invest is a scam. The vast majority of crypto and crypto-adjacent “projects” are scams.

    We live in a world where payment providers have the power to force Etsy to delist vendors that sell sex toys to customers of a legal age, payment apps like Venmo or PayPal will permaban your account for selling NSFW art or products, and physical cash is being largely abandoned for cards and digital wallets. Surely you can see the benefits of a completely anonymous payment method?

    To be clear, I vastly prefer cash, but there’s an obvious issue with trying to anonymously use cash to pay for something on the internet or to send money to someone who isn’t within easy driving distance.
