Vital stuff gets well hidden, though – no password files on my hdd, but I do keep them on a USB key. Anything particularly sensitive gets a long random string that I conciously avoid remembering, just cut & paste.

Nothing’s encrypted yet, though were my public profile to raise then things probably would.

So far as keeping private files hidden, MicroSD cards are frankly the pinnacle in my opinion. Why encrypt when you can just store it all on something the size of your little toenail? Hide one of those things with a little thought and it just isn’t going to be found unless you tell someone where. Much as the best “code breaking” is simple, so are the best privacy measures.

(Oh, also – I always want to be the weakest link in the chain. Frankly, if someone’s threatening to pull my fingernails out, I think we’re at the point where they can just take my porn if they need it that badly.)

Link rectified. I noticed it the first time I commented, thought “fuck. oh well, can’t be fucked to change it”. Then it auto-saved and each following comment I thought the same thing. But now you have pointed it all out and I had to do something about it!
