I steal crumbs.

Crumbs.

Also I maintain a secret cache of documents underneath the Alaskan tundra with the help of a diesel generator, some very large goggles and a years supply of smoked frozen herring.

  • Check your local library for many WW2 historical accounts of the french resistance. Madam Fourcades secret war, Virginia Hill are a couple of my favorites.

    Also memoirs from FBI and CIA agents, and anything on SOE, Churchills “Special Operations Executive” division which had as its objective to defeat the Germans covertly in Nazi occupied France, which he started because he wanted more results than the old school tie boys in traditional British intelligence.

    For that matter accounts of the beginnings of the American CIA in WW2 are interesting too.

    On all these, enough time has passed that there aren’t national security concerns any more, technology changes but the principles are always the same. Interesting reading and you can learn a lot, especially how networks are penetrated and how spies were caught.




  • Sorry you got jumped on as a new user a bit.

    The karma system on reddit encourages posting and reposting stuff that everyone has seen before to get fake internet points, and maybe what you win is a “more powerful account” for the algorithm instead of everyone getting a more or less equal voice.

    You can still get people to follow you and build a tribe if you want without that, and you are also free to start any community you like, so a few mods don’t end up controlling all the online real estate and steer the conversation unfairly.

    Plus its simpler. Sometimes simple is good.
