i think it's better to tell the stalker what the systems in my house are. i don't have anything to hide, here. i'm better off trying to convince them that they're wasting their time.

so, i have three computers that connect to the internet, and they are all laptops.

- i am typing this from a thinkpad chromebook that i log into as a guest. this machine is intended solely for mobile use. it's also an emergency backup. this machine would have to use trashy apps like google docs, and isn't acceptable for any kind of serious word processing. i connect via a wired connection.

- i have a 90s compaq evo with a winlited windows xp on it. this is an extremely minimal image with very old hardwire. this is a laptop that is so old that it shipped without a wireless card in it. i use this laptop strictly to watch youtube videos when i'm eating. there is nothing on this machine. i could in theory use this machine for blogging, but it is very slow and several of the keys are broken. it has, like, 512 mb of ddr2 ram or something.

- the machine that i have been using as my access point for the last several years - since mid-2017 - is a compaq from the mid 00s with a broken backlight screen on it. this is an old dual core with windows 7 (although it shipped with vista) and a 50 gb install drive. this machine is designed to break and rebuild; i keep everything important in a series of external drives. there is no wireless in this machine.

i also have an hp with 8 gb of ram, a broken backlight and a fried system board. i am hoping to fix this, eventually.

i have three pcs. 

one of them shipped with windows 98 and used to be my tv, but it's been phased out. i will eventually put 98 back on there and use it for obscure sound design. this will never connect to the internet ever again.

one of them shipped with vista, but currently runs xp and is my main recording pc. it is currently half disassembled and used mostly for troubleshooting these cyberattacks. it does not have a network card and will never connect to the internet again.

there is a third pc that i bought parts for in mid 2017 and haven't assembled yet because i haven't had time. i will put a 64 bit os on this machine and use it for recording. it does not have a wireless card in it, and i will disable the network card in the bios. i will never, ever, ever connect this computer to the internet.

there is also a phone that i wish i never bought and never turn on.

so, what i have exposed to the network are these three laptops - the chromebook, the 90s laptop with xp and the 00s laptop with windows 7. none of them would be very useful to a hacker. and, none of them have any data on them.

clearly, it would not be very bright for me to connect my data to the internet, would it? some horrible asshole wants to destroy my art...
