█
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.
