For context, I wanted to have a portable password manager and I was going to encrypt the drive with Veracrypt but I wanted to make sure I understand the software before I do anything.

Ah ok, thank you for letting me know. I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you.

Ok, thank you!

Oh, I didn’t know Veracrypt was portable?! Since Veracrypt is portable, that means I can store the Veracrypt software and encrypt whatever files I want on the same drive, correct? Then, it wouldn’t matter if Veracrypt isn’t installed on the computer and I can encrypt/decrypt the, right? I apologize in advance, I just want to make sure I fully understand what you said.

Had issues with Ghost archive, but I guess I’ll try them again. Thanks.

I saw a post on the privacy community that someone encountered that mobile QR code that Google is demanding you scan. I’m not scanning a sketchy QR code from Google. Just another way for users to be further entrenched in their services.

I had issues in the past with The Wayback Machine. Either never came up or me or its slow. Maybe I just need to mess around with my VPN? I’ll try them again. Thanks.

It does look suspicious with some of their claims. I’ll just stay away from them for now.

Ok. I’ll stick with the others. Thanks.

I don’t see their email addresses on LinkedIn. And if I have to do it through LinkedIn, I find the messages spammy and annoying and I just think it’s more professional to contact through email.

One of the uses I was thinking of was putting a password manager on a USB. Not only it’s portable, but I don’t have my passwords in the cloud, it’s offline storage. And so long as I encrypt the USB, access to the drive would be denied. But I don’t know if its worth it.

This was one of the uses I was thinking of. To test apps and if I don’t like it, can just simply delete it. Good to know I’m not the only one. Thank you.

Ah ok. So it seems to work better for work and personal, makes sense. Something that can still work for me, but really not much privacy benefits. Ok, thank you for the feedback. * I already have Tails downloaded, so I do have a USB specifically designed for privacy all set. Just need to use it more!

I’ve heard of the back market, I’ll look again. Thank you.

I have never heard about socks. I’ll have to look into regardless if a VPN ban happens or not. Thank you.

How complicated is it to run a isolated container/vm? I would say my tech skills are above average, but wouldn’t consider myself tech-savvy.
