The trick is to use an operating system so niche and different that no one is prepared to hack it.

For those who take this seriously: don't. Security by obscurity does not work.

I practice security through obsolescence instead, all my data is stored on 3 1/2” floppies and if I need to send someone a voice message I post it on a cassette.

I know a couple of greybeards who're building a SCO UNIX virtual machine to troll skiddies. I wonder if they're going to sneak it onto the network at hacker summer camp.
