What with that Oregon thing, I think it's time for a primer on digital safety. You don't want to be caught with something that shouldn't be illegal but is.

First steps:
• If you use a web browser for anything associated outside of incognito mode, use a portable browser and store it in an encrypted disk or container. Opera and Firefox both have good portable versions; Chrome's doesn't work too well due to the way it's built. Opera's build on the same Chromium base as Chrome, so I recommend that if you like Chrome.
• Don't post any personally identifiable information. Country is probably fine in most cases, but state is iffy, and definitely avoid identifying your city unless you're in a tightly controlled and private community.
• If you're the sort of person to go looking for things, don't do it on Craigslist. If you just want people to talk to about it, it's probably fine, but there are way better resources for that.
• If you're the sort of person to make recordings of yourself, keep them in an encrypted disk or container.
• If you're the sort of person to post photos of yourself online, censor the hell out of them. Use black bars, not blurs or other reversible things. Remove EXIF data from your photos; you can do this easily on Windows by selecting your picture, choosing "properties", going to the "details" tab, clicking "Remove Properties and Personal Information", choosing "remove the following properties from this file", clicking "select all", then OK. Watch out for identifying details in the background.
• If you're the sort of person to post videos of yourself online, censor the everloving fuck out of them. Pirate Adobe Premiere and learn how to use it if you have to. If you say someone's name, bleep it out. Put a moving black box over your face if you're not wearing a mask. Put moving black boxes over the vicinity of any tattoos. Put moving black boxes places where there aren't tattoos. Don't post videos of yourself online. Keep them in an encrypted disk or container if you have to keep them.

And finally, encrypt your shit properly. Use full-drive encryption for extra safety; Bitlocker works well for this on Windows. Use (preferably) Signal, or (if you prefer something with furry/zoo group chat) Telegram for messaging involving anything troublesome. Don't use Truecrypt or Veracrypt. Neither are fully trustworthy. Using Bitlocker on Windows, you can encrypt a drive, or make a Truecrypt-style encrypted disk container that mounts (heh) as a virtual drive when you open it. Do this even if you use full-drive encryption already; someone might need to log into your computer at some point, and you don't want them finding your things. Here's how to do it on Windows 10, which you ought to be running:

1. Open Disk Management from the start menu.
2. Action > Create VHD.
3. Choose a location for it, and a maximum size of 1 gigabyte or larger.
4. Choose "VHDX" and "dynamically expanding"; this way if you don't fill it up, it'll only take up as much space on your hard drive as is used inside it. Click OK.
5. Find the disk entry that'll just have shown up, it'll say "Unknown", the disk size, and "Not initialized." Right click and choose "Initialize Disk". Make sure GPT is selected.
6. Right click on the unallocated partion next to the disk and choose "New Simple Volume..."
7. Click "Next" twice, and choose either a drive letter or a folder to place your files in when the drive is mounted. Click next.
8. Choose a label for the drive, if you like; I recommend also enabling file and folder compression. Click next, then finish.
9. Your drive is now mounted, but is not yet encrypted. Right-click on it and choose "Turn on Bitlocker".
10. Chose "use a password to unlock the drive" unless you have a smart card and reader for some reason and are ready to eat the smart card should Sherriff Joe come a-knockin'.
11. Use a secure password. I recommend something from a secure random password generator. If you can help it, don't use mnemonics; choose something that'll be extraordinarily difficult to brute-force. Don't write it down. Don't store it in a password manager. Don't put it in a text file and hide it in your Windows folder. Forensics tools can find that.
12. If you absolutely must save a recovery key, save it to a flash drive or (preferably) write it down on a piece of paper and fucking wall it up in your house like you're Montressor and it's Fortunado. Bury it in the woods. Engrave it on the underside of your car's oil pan. I don't know. Otherwise, just save a file (it won't let you proceed without doing so), open that file, overwrite the keys with garbage, save it, and delete it. (For extra security, use a free-space overwriting program to destroy any remnant data.) Click "next."
13. Choose "new encryption mode" unless you want the file to be readable on Windows 7 for some reason. Click next.
14. Choose "start encrypting." Wait a bit.
15. Your container is now ready to use! Mount it again later by double-clicking the file, then opening the mounted drive and entering your password. Right-click on the drive and choose "eject" to unmount it.

I hope this helps some folks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to answer them.

edit: apparently the subreddit CSS doesn't support ordered lists or numbered lists so I half-assed my bullet points and gave up. sorry it's a bit hard to read.
