Have you ever used TailsOS (/d/Tails) ? I would obviously have a pin on the computer so nobody can just use it Encrypted persistence of /d/Tails I don't want to use public wifi in public and get fucked over like other people have Put a screen protection on your laptop, buy a leash for tying your /d/Tails USB key to your wristle. Then you can't leave your computer, without shutting it down or by corrupting your session. The only guy knew to got busted for public wifi, were Ross Ulbricht because he formerly were suspected of darkweb acitivites after one of it's parcels were opened, and because of no USB leash, he left his computer unencrypted to the feds. its stupid to host a hidden service at my home You can buy with Monero, a VPS over Tor on njal.la's hidden service.

sounds like a good idea

"I would obviously have a pin on the computer so nobody can just use it," - this doesn't tell me anything. Windows passwords and PINs are 100% useless unless the drive is encrypted. Most Linux passwords are useless with local access and no drive encyption either. I cannot understand what else you are saying.
