The few devices I have that do connect to the internet are turned off 95% of the time, my router is turned off 90% of the time. My laptop has internet disabled through hardware switch most of the time. The internet connection I do have is incredibly slow (but enough) and download stuff I need in chunks (mostly documentation and movies and whatever) I run NetBSD on an encrypted drive. Most of the data on it I would want to protect is programs and poetry I write and art I create, and maybe some budgeting documents, but I wouldn't exactly have a crisis if it somehow ended up in someone's hands. You'd need to be a pretty damn good hacker to get in here, and even if you're inside getting stuff back is very slow and sporadic. I mean, I'm sure it's still possible, I've heard stories of cops getting data through wall sockets measuring the power rate, but I don't feel the need to apply slop-heavy patches.
