A paper-only journal would defend against the state, but not against people you live with. A digital journal can be encrypted, but an intelligence agency could potentially gain access (like, them reading your anti-government rants that may involve violence… that sort of stuff).
So… how to defend against both threats?
(Also, I just realized, paper journals cannot really be easily backed up…)
Write it in your own code that only you know the cipher for. All those crypto people still haven’t cracked the code for the Voynich manuscript. 🤷🏻♂️
