      @evacide State interference with devices is so bad globally that my employer now bans taking laptops overseas. Any traveller requiring a laptop gets a clean 'burner' machine.

          @evacide are there any good plausible deniability encryption projects or is it still just veracrypt?

                It's almost like they DON'T want people to travel so as to better manipulate the "populus".

                    Yeah I just got back from HKG. This policy sucks but it is to be expected. It is still a rocking cool place and I'm not gonna avoid it cause of this. They aren't the ones shooting their citizens on the street or sending people to needlessly die in random foreign wars.

                      I just got back from a trip and saw that one of my colleagues also travels with a clean burner laptop. Cool idea if you can afford it! I don't travel with my laptop much but I might get a lil used situation for when I do 🤔

                          And not via the US. The globe is slowly becoming one huge no-go zone for travel.

                          Though that dovetails nicely with the idea that we shouldn't fly so much anyway, since it's bad for the climate.

                            And now that you have posted _in public_ that you are thinking about deniable encryption, they'll hit you with a wrench until you give them a working password to a deniably encrypted container. If you can't give such a password, it seems likely you're only still denying, so the effort would continue.

                            Better now to always have such a container somewhere in unused disk space, otherwise you'll never leave the rubber hose decryption cellar.

                              It's clearly an extreme case if you got passwords on your devices or --- God forbid --- even encryption.

                              Who do you think you are? A spy agency? Nah, likely only an "extreme case" (of what, we'll find out later, after having had a look at your laptop and mobile).
