It literally told me to look up some basic security principles and do it myself.

I think that seems like excellent advice!

Yes, that’s kinda how computers work?

No, it’s only the most common way. There are also lots of systems where it’s perfectly possible, even normal, to upgrade running processes in-place without restarting.

I bought a couple of expensive domains too. Problem solved.

Okay, but then we also have to stop pretending that the USA is a democracy.

UK still has anonymous SIM cards, which I find somewhat surprising considering the amount of surveillance there.
