001. INTERFACE REDUCTION > Wipe the GUI. Reduce the noise. - Install Arch, Void, or Alpine Linux. - Use the TTY only (no GUI). - Replace all apps with terminal tools. - Browser → `w3m` | Notes → `vim` | News → `newsboat`
002. DISCONNECTION PROTOCOLS > No sync. No push. No cloud. - Turn off updates, Wi-Fi, GPS. - Replace phone with dumbphone or burner. - Host a local-only static site. - Back up to cold storage only.
003. SIGNAL DRIFT EXERCISES > The static speaks. Listen differently. - Tune into shortwave and log anomalies. - Build ambient loops from interference. - Pipe outputs into each other. - Go silent for one week. Observe signal noise.
004. TERMINAL AESTHETICS > Decay is beauty. Glitch is memory. - Use dying CRT themes. - Customize your `.bashrc` with echo’d rituals: `echo "signal unstable :: self fragmented :: rootless mode"`
005. GHOSTSCAPE NETWORK > The internet isn’t a tool. It’s a haunted place. - Surf Telnet, Gopher, Web 1.0 ruins. - Embrace broken links. Leave static behind.
006. LOGGING THE SELF > Am I writing this, or being written? - Maintain a plaintext log. - Timestamped. Unfiltered. Unshared.
007. OPTIONAL PARANOIA ENHANCERS > It’s not about hiding. It’s about shedding the trail. - Encrypt everything. - Use Tor. Spoof your MAC. Trust no process.
008. FULL IMMERSION SYMPTOMS - You feel more real inside the terminal. - The logs know you better than mirrors. - You check uptime before checking time.
