If I were to advise someone on using encryption I would recommend the
isolated island solution.
As Snowden said do not use a phone with a microphone on it ;-)
Anything that is connected to a network is already compromised. If you are
paranoid - isolate the machine where you read and write, encrypt and
decrypt your messages! I was thinking of starting a crowdfund project for
such a device, but no time to even draft a business plan.
