除非安全和隐私是你的核心业务，否则别过度关注它们。

从食材开始制作一个简单的三明治，需要全职投入大约6个月的时间。你需要养鸡、取海水、用食材制作面包等等。除非你卖出很多亲手制作的三明治，否则你将会损失大量的金钱和时间。
只有上帝才能瞬间做出三明治。如果你尝试从头开始制作一支简单的铅笔，可能需要超过6个月的时间。
现在，考虑一下安全和隐私。仅仅构建一个看似合理私密且稳健的Linux电脑，就需要至少一年的全职努力。这确实比从食材开始制作一个简单的三明治更难，而“从食材开始”制作一个简单的三明治本身就是一项全职业务。所谓的系统构建是一项不赚钱的全职业务。
构建一台具有“个人”劳动的私密Linux电脑的成本是你的事业、你的工作、你的健康、你的人际关系，以及你生活中的一切。隐私的成本极高。你需要接受计算环境中存在一些粗糙的瑕疵。
如果你强迫自己从食材开始制作三明治和铅笔，制作家具、建造房屋、种植食物、经营电子商务商店、构建私密Linux电脑等等，那么你将无法精通任何一件事，而且你也不会得到多少报酬。你的收入只取决于你最擅长的专业技能。只有专业化才能让你致富。如果你试图将精力分散到多件事情上，包括安全和隐私，你将仍然贫穷。即使是富有的程序员 Linus Torvalds，也避免在自己的Linux电脑上摆弄Linux内核选项。他只是使用 Fedora，不做任何修改。Linus Torvalds 并不关心他的 AMD CPU 存在硬件后门的事实，也肯定不会费心“手动”构建一个无后门的路由器来阻止 AMD PSP 和 Intel ME。但是，他可能会“购买”由其他人禁用 Intel ME 的电脑。
如果你想致富，你应该专注于你的核心业务，并牺牲其他事情，比如出色的隐私。
现在，你知道了什么是牺牲。牺牲甚至可能意味着你使用 Mac Pro 而不是个人强化的 Linux 桌面。Linux 的创建者都懒得“手动”强化他自己的 Linux 电脑。
如果你想致富并过上美好的生活，你应该准备好购买核心业务之外的一切。购买东西比从头开始构建东西花费的时间要少得多。
把时间花在核心业务之外的事情上，基本上就是一种财务自杀。

Making a simple sandwich from ingredients is a full-time job that takes roughly 6 months. You grow chickens, fetch sea water, make bread from ingredients, and so on. Unless you sell a lot of sandwiches you made from scratch, you will bleed a lot of money and time.<p>Only God can make sandwich instantly. If you try to make a simple pencil, it will probably take more than 6 months.<p>Now, consider security and privacy. Just constructing what seems to be a reasonably private and robust linux computer took at least a year of full-time effort. It is genuinely more difficult than making a simple sandwich from ingredients, and making a simple sandwich "from ingredients" is a full-time business by itself. The so-called system crafting is a full-time business that doesn't pay.<p>The cost of constructing a private linux computer with your "personal" labor is your business, your job, your health, your relationships, and everything else in your life. The cost of privacy is extremely high. You need to be okay with rough edges in your computing environment.<p>If you force yourself to make sandwich and pencil from ingredients, make your furniture, build a house, grow foods, run an e-commerce store, construct a private linux computer, and so on, then you will not be good at any one thing, and you won't be paid much. You are only paid as much as your best expertise. Only specialization can make you rich. If you try to scatter your energy into multiple things including security and privacy, you will remain poor. Even linus torvalds, a rich computer programmer, avoids fiddling with linux kernel options on his linux computers. He just uses fedora without modification. Linus torvalds doesn't care about the fact that his AMD CPU has hardware backdoor and certainly can't be bothered to "manually" construct a backdoor-free router that blocks AMD PSP and Intel ME behind the router. But, he may "buy" computers with Intel ME disabled by others.<p>If you want to become rich, you should have laser focus on your core business and sacrifice other things like excellent privacy.<p>Now, you know what it means to sacrifice. Sacrifice may even mean you use mac pro instead of a personally hardened linux desktop. The creator of linux can't be bothered to "manually" harden his own linux computers.<p>If you want to be rich and have a good life, you should be ready to buy everything outside your core business. Buying things takes infinitely less time than building things from scratch.<p>Spending time on things outside your core business is basically a financial suicide.
