programmer and sys admin for almost two decades here: most people that become too paranoid at this shit are impractical and disfuncional.
You can be in the middle ground: not having too much IoT shit but having a modern life. Besides, good luck convincing you family and friends not using anything, which, unless your inner circle stays as far away from tech as you, you aren’t “off the grid” you are just shooting yourself in the foot in your delusion.
if you want to beat the system fuck with it and hack it, not stay secluded as a hermit. Get a good firewall, not freaking Linux in assembly code that you have to compile.
If the government wants to find something about you, they will, and if they can’t, they will invent it.
You call more attention to yourself by being a fucking blackout-ToR-SMS guy, than by being average.
