really though if your threat vector is the us government you shouldn’t have anything on a networked computer that might incriminate you unless you really really REALLY know what you’re doing. opsec tips are useful for non-state actors (including smaller police departments), of course, but I really urge you to be cautious on ANY networked device. “secure chat apps” are still vulnerable to the most common intrusion, social engineering, or your own mistakes
basically act as if the cia has remote viewing. which they do.
