 For those of you who are deep into **platform manipulation** and **sockpuppetry**, you will eventually become overwhelmed by the amount of separate **identities** or **personas** (//and the accounts they each use to interact with the world through the internet//) that you are using for your shenanigans. For those of you who are deep into **platform manipulation** and **sockpuppetry**, you will eventually become overwhelmed by the amount of separate **identities** or **personas** (//and the accounts they each use to interact with the world through the internet//) that you are using for your shenanigans.
  
-Here are some quick tips to streamline your operation on almost any operating system by using simple **//best practices//**, without having to install a whole lot of fancy or proprietary software to get it done.+Here are some strategies you can employ to streamline your operation on almost any operating system, by using simple **//best practices//**, without having to install a whole lot of fancy or proprietary software to get it done.

 +Most of these strategies are built around [[tactics:compartmentalize|compartmentalization]]. How far you decide to compartmentalize is up to you, but the options are there, and employing some of them are recommended to reduce the possibility of devastating [[tactics:lateral-move|lateral movements]] in case of a data breach. Some compartmentalization will ultimately help you keep everything rigidly organized too, so it serves a dual-purpose here.

 While you should be using this anyways, a [[security:password-managers|Password Manager]] will drastically simplify the task of keeping track of usernames and passwords, and store them as portable & encrypted database files. Most decent password managers will let you create categories for your passwords. This means you can have a single category for each persona that you larp as, with all of that persona's accounts neatly stashed together inside. While you should be using this anyways, a [[security:password-managers|Password Manager]] will drastically simplify the task of keeping track of usernames and passwords, and store them as portable & encrypted database files.

-Or, you can take things even further, and have a different password-protected database file for each persona. This way you are only loading the persona you need into your password manager at any given moment, and someone has to enter a password if they manage to make a copy of the database file. Some password managers support biometric devices, and hardware [[security:2fa|2FA]] such as [[gear:yubi|YubiKeys]]. You can even store each identity file on its own separate VM or physical machine (//more on that **[[diy:identity-management#Further Compartmentalization|further down]]**//).

 The ideal type of pre-packaged browser for sockpuppetry in a shared environment is a **portable browser**, as they are easily duplicated, quick to deploy, simple to isolate, and they lend themselves well to scripting & macros. They also give you a straightforward means to set aside unique bookmarks, cookie storage and browser extensions on a per-persona basis, catered to whatever that persona does online. The ideal type of pre-packaged browser for sockpuppetry in a shared environment is a **portable browser**, as they are easily duplicated, quick to deploy, simple to isolate, and they lend themselves well to scripting & macros.

-[[tools:docker|Docker]] containers are another way to further compartmentalize things with a form of pseudo-virtualization. This is especially useful in a shared environment where you cannot run full virtual machines, or a cloud environment where you cannot deploy your own custom virtual machines. With customized Docker containers as part of your identity management toolchain, you are essentially building your own portable containerized browsers for each of your personas with common off-the-shelf components. +[[tools:docker|Docker]] containers are another way to further compartmentalize things with a form of pseudo-virtualization.

 It should be noted that mental compartmentalization has long been exploited by various cults and governments, dating back to the Ancient World. Because of this, it is no surprise that modern governments have figured out how to exploit people prone to [[wp>Splitting (psychology)|splitting]], [[wp>Dissociation (psychology)|dissociation]] or other [[wp>Dissociative disorders|DID/MPD behaviors]], for the purposes of information security & mind control. (//The **Ministry of Occult Sciences** notes that people with **temporal lobe dysfunctions** are sometimes exploited in this manner as well.//) Anonymous has verifiably encountered cases where two personas online didn't even know they were part of the same host body. Conversely, some Anons with DID deliberately make full conscious use of [[wp>Multiplicity_(subculture)#Characteristics|their system's quirks]] to compartmentalize their multiple digital presences, as a safeguard from external threats or saboteurs. It should be noted that mental compartmentalization has long been exploited by various cults and governments, dating back to the Ancient World.

-//**Be careful that you do not fall into any [[hazards:rabbit holes]], and DO NOT forget your [[security:totem]].** Inexperience and poor emotional regulation can be a serious [[hazards:achilles heel|Achilles' Heel]] when dissociating, and send you down an endless dark path from which you may never return. Furthermore, while multiple personalities (for those without DID) can be manifested purely meditatively without assistance, some Anons claim to channel volatile daemonia to get the job done. Pharmakeia & recreational drugs offer another unstable portal into this mindset. If you are not careful when you immerse yourself in this kind of manner, you could end up dead, just like **Heath Ledger** after he used this method to portray the Joker in the 2008 film, **The Dark Knight**.//+//**Be careful that you do not fall into any [[hazards:rabbit holes]], and DO NOT forget your [[security:totem]].** Inexperience and poor emotional regulation can be a serious [[hazards:achilles heel|Achilles' Heel]] when dissociating, and send you down an endless dark path from which you may never return.
