Haha, I’m scared that if I can push myself to write on paper, I won’t be able to stop. I think a cross shredder will be a worthy investment in the long run, so I’ll have to delve into that more.

Thanks!
You’re right, I should try thrift stores at least. I do have a strip shredder but I would want to spend so long cutting that it wouldn’t be sustainable in my case.
Thank you. This is really insightful and something that I think might be a robust solution for me. I’ll research GPG more, I clearly need to.
Sorry my writing may not be at its best, my sleep is terrible and it affects me more than I think.
Not sure if it was posted before. Requirements would be encrypted journal entries for digital and pen/paper for cases where something needs to be truly destroyed.
I think I’ve settled on a raspberry pi and some journaling program or simply a text editor. It’s been good to brainstorm.
Thank you. I don’t have a cross shredder and can’t afford one right now.
Let’s assume a page count of 5 or less at a time for safety, in this case a metal can sounds like a good method.
As for chemicals, I suppose I’ll need to research this further but it’s a good idea I didn’t think of.
Appreciated.
I appreciate that a lot. The more I consider it I think for completely destroyed data, paper and a lighter will be best. The odds of me looking back on anything else are low, but part of me thinks keeping them is something I’ll one day wish I’d done from day one.
Thank you very much. I’ll look into this.
Edit: I appreciate the suggestion but docker is not an option in my case. For further context for anyone else reading, I will sacrifice as many features as needed to ensure a secure system, even if this gets to the point of a locally run and air-gapped system. Though, if there is a level of convenience out there that doesn’t meaningfully sacrifice security then I would obviously like to take that route.
The weight of being unable to share things with literally anyone is totally fine until for some reason the crushing reality of your life comes crashing down on your consciousness and you start seeking some new form of mental relief like a cockroach looking for shelter in the midst of a nuclear fallout.
Jokes on you I am an iOS for mobile and Linux for desktop user. I’ll carry on now.
Good point and clarification. I’ll leave my error up there because hey maybe somebody else will learn too.
You’re right that I would argue for a specific case and I suppose that is what makes it a difficult measure to quantify.
And yes of course any opinion in this thread will inevitably have bias if they’re responding to my request for personal experiences, including my own. I’m not trying to avoid bias here but just gather what individuals are thinking. In my case, you’re right that my conflation of public interest is incorrect. Though I still believe in my experiences the system is very imperfect and overly rigid.
Thanks.
Thanks for your care and personal experience. I’ll say that perhaps one day I can re-examine whether this is something I can reasonably do. It’s nice to hear that it helped you.
