Hard but not impossible. It’s been done. XZ Utils, phpmyadmin, OpenBSD’s IPSEC stack

NSA in Amerikkka has been targeting the tor browser and flagging tor traffic for a long time. They will toss intercepts to law enforcement occasionally to be used through parallel construction. They’re fond of backdooring security software and hardware and sneaking it into the supply chain.
21·6 months agoYeah you don’t want the battery to sit at 100% or 0%. I just bulged out my 10 yr old work macbook battery by leaving it plugged in, not the first one i’ve seen either. There are utils that can set charge limits in linux https://askubuntu.com/questions/34452/how-can-i-limit-battery-charging-to-80-capacity
TBH you MBP battery is probably nearing EOL but it may actually be replaceable.

Logitech Media Server, followed by strawberry, quod libet, rhythmbox
Quod libet starts to act funny with 50,000 flac collections. Rhythmbox too. LMS is still chugging at 100k and I can get it on any room in the house, across 2 clients on computers, 2 on raspberry pi and my android phone. If I want to listen to 24/96+, Strawberry can handle it all although I haven’t warmed up to the interface. Volumio sucks, it’s way too slow.

You don’t need Linux to torrent. The VPN is so your ISP doesn’t send you love letters. That’s the useful thing. Once you have a VPN, there’s no reason to be paranoid about conventional piracy behavior.
If you’re paranoid anyway, it’s more than just your choice of distro. OpenBSD is kinda made for paranoia, but you still have to think about who you’re hiding from, how much is at risk if you get caught, how much time and money it’s worth investing to protect yourself, what threats you’re up against etc. Like, are you more afraid of downloading malware or being caught breaking the law?
If you just want some movies and music, get a vpn and go nuts. If you have no vpn, you can avoid being noticed by not sharing stuff that’s popular when it’s popular, like blockbuster movies.
Tails is a USB bootable linux distro folks use to buy drugs, FYI. Tor is helpful for staying anonymous from some companies and governments. I2P may be more private than Tor. Like, if you’re afraid your government will put you in jail for political beliefs, then you start looking at in-depth OPSEC.
I use ~/w for “Work” and less typing
