Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.

I keep all my media on my media server because it's entirely possible someone will want to use it while I'm booted into Windows playing a game. Everything else, the important shit, stays in an encrypted partition on my desktop. The really important shit gets backed up to an encrypted partition on another physical drive on the same desktop as well.

YOU DIRTY WHORE! I always thought you were a Linux purist and OSS freedom fighter.

Nah, I'm entirely too practical for that. I don't feel the need to die on a particular hill unless it's going to accomplish something worth dying for.

I'm "this guy" at work, consultant regarding the possible, and best practices for security.
I am so very happy that my personal data just isn't this important for me to even care about this level of security. I even have a webcam with the password set to default "admin" because... it just doesn't matter.

I don't have anything especially incriminating but I do want it to be as difficult as possible for any flavor of Big Brother to come along with a fishing warrant. Privacy from those who think they're my masters matters to me, even if I don't have much of anything to hide. I'd prefer they have to worry what I'm up to instead of knowing.

There's the other approach, of course, to live your life like an open book, and occasionally drop "off grid" for a few hours or days by turning your cell off, or spending cash only for a while, and make it all one big innocent pattern. So, the fishing warrant can come by and find a little legal porn in the browser cache, and otherwise not turn up anything - because the real stuff was purchased cash / encrypted and steganographically encoded into the middle of the family photos, etc.
Hypothetically speaking, of course, because I really am so much happier living with nothing worth hiding.

I take it back, I do have a few things I don't want anyone finding out. My secret, lucky, special, magic fishing holes mostly but still.

Well, if you can resist posting the GPS coordinates on Facebook, that's a start. Better still, post a bunch of fake "great fishing hole" coordinates on Facebook.
Unfortunately, any yokel in any kind of vehicle including light aircraft who happens to spot you on one of those fishing holes can pretty much nab the GPS coordinates for themselves.
