but even 14 years seems long for a pharase that is said and written millions of times per day. and if those crackers can make billions of guesses per second how can they not guess both variants within minutes?

related question. how to make a good password bettter? adding a few extra special symbols like "µ£₹" or one long word like "freshwatercrocodiletesticles"?

i also dont really get it. the bitwarden pw tester says it will take 14 years to crack "its.a.beautiful.day", write beautiful with 2 t`s and it will take "centuries"? 🧐

but yes i still use them. but always with numbers and random characters in between and words from multiple languages or fantasy words.

ah crazy, i made it work with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS!

For some reason i had to unplug the PC before restarting. Then it got found as UEFI and could boot.

The full installation on the USB was a bit dirty, as i put the Live Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine and installed it from there. So i typed the full disk encryption and login passwords in Windows ... but I wont be too paranoid about that one now 😅

ok, appreciate your time and insight. thanks!

seems to involve disabling secure boot, not happy with that. will cause more paranoia 😬

like i said, i tried mint, does not work from that stick, only tails works. what i want to achieve is not much:

  • create files that i cannot decrypt in my windows, even if i have the keys or the password, which i both dont have. (already done in tails)
  • run this one single app on a secure usb, so when my windows or phone have a virus/stolen/lost, this app is not there and not in danger.

Appreciate it a lot, thanks. What Distro would you recommend running from a USB?

Beside security concerns about stuff that I don't understand, my only real needs are:

  • Kleopatra (to generate keys and passwords my Windows will never know about)
  • And this fucking App that will not connect to the internet on Tails.
