Typing into the abyss - need a service (lemmy.world)

Does it exist, some sort of encrypted journal-like app where I can type things which will be forever locked away? In my mind and in a place I can feel confident about, without a doubt.

Pen and paper requires burning afterwards, I don’t think I want to do this.

I know no opsec solution is perfect. I need some sort of outlet. I need some sort of solution.

I was thinking. Maybe, at least, some solution where even though access is non-negotiable, if somebody does get in, I can accept that the entity was already determined enough to end things.

Thanks.

Edit: I should I guess mention the obvious such as encryption and possibly authentication with a hardware security key. Any other features that might be out there I am hoping to hear about.

Was this question also posted a few weeks ago?

In any case, what exactly are the requirements here? You mentioned encrypted journaling app, but also gave an example of burning a handwritten sheet. Do you need to recover the text after it is written, or can it simply be discarded into the void once it's been fully written out?

If encryption is to protect the document while it's still a draft, then obviously that won't work for handwritten pages.

    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.
