I always hit "Factory Data Reset" before crossing a border, but now they aren't just at (or nenar) borders.
Time to keep any data on a server, in a jurisdiction that tells the MAGAt motherfuckers where to stuff it.
Sadly hard to find a commercial service. Sync is in Canada, and they're a compelte joke now that Carney is ruining the place. Tuta is in Germany, and they have AfD running a new Nazi takeover one chunk at a time. Proton is Switzerland which is good... For Citizens. Most of us aren't Swiss, though.
Honestly we need someone to make a service like Proton, and put it in Iceland...
Which will be good, until that fuckwit Cheeto mistakes it for Greenland and invades.
Encrypt all your remote hosted stuff!

You see NY, CT and VT and second circuit court (which 7 of the 13 justices were appointed by liberal presidents) and try to blame this on MAGA?
