Privacy matters because the history shows that personal information could be abused by "hackers" or by authorities during paradigm shifts.

Everyone who is interested in privacy has to do some trade offs because increasing privacy means more work to do.

What I'm (not) doing:

• I don't use Facebook or any other social platform with mandatory real names. But I don't care about privacy when doing company related things.
• I use a VPN for private surfing but I don't use a VPN for anything which is linked with my real identity like banking.
• The whole computer is encrypted including every backup drive. But some USB devices aren't because some devices like TVs can't read it.
• I prefer cable over wireless in my house. But wireless is still enabled, because cable is very annoying when using mobile devices in the bed. To prevent taking over the whole network in the case of an attack, the wireless network has a own vLAN.
• My door is surveilled with a Raspberry but I don't care about the windows because you would need pretty good climbing experiences.

I don't need 100% security, I'm caring about privacy while doing only a fair amount of efforts.

It's not hard to spy on me but it's hard to get any crucial out of me.
