Hi 'teens, here's my situation. I'm going off to college soon and will have multiple roommates, each of which will probably bring in guests sometimes. Also living in off-campus housing, so I might be able to bring my PC too and just use my laptop for school. I have an external drive, and I'm going to try and move everything chuddy onto that so it's not straight on my laptop.
<
I probably won't get anything stolen, but if I do, I want to make sure nobody finds out how chuddy I am and especially does not see my 'arty folders. The college has literally zero right-wingers. It's actually been in the news for normie conservatives being attacked on campus a few times.

What's the best simple encryption method to go with? At worst I'd probably only be dealing with tech-illiterate immigrants stealing my shit, I just want them to get 'gated from seeing anything. Should I encrypt my whole external drive? For my PC and laptop (both Windows), can or should I just encrypt specific folders? Thanks.

download russian ransomware, free encryption

Vera Crypt is nice. I use it.
The program will walk you through it, super simple process.
I do NOT recommend full disk encryption on a Windows boot disk doe, very unreliable.

VeraCrypt is not simple.

OP, what you need to do is write a small program that XOR all of your data in byte format. Easy, right?

veracrypt for windows, LUKS for loonix

if you want something that is operation system agnostic, I would use 7zip to simply create a .7z folder named homework with the date of creation of the archive and select the password option. this will encrypt the data in the folder. you can also decrypt the folder and only extract specific files inside of it if you want to avoid extracting all the files every time and then deleting them.

if you use windows, use bitlocker. its easy to setup, especially if you have a TPM chip and want the drive to only be usable on one device.

i would not worry about the backdoor inside of it because if you use windows they already know everything about you.

if you use linux i would use luks encryption. its a bit of a pain to setup, but its worth it.

xor is not hard enough though xor is a gigachad and very useful

just use luks. do NOT USE bitlocker, (((they))) store copies of the keys on their servers and have given them to the fbi before. it also doesn't derive the key every time you want to actually read content. what do i mean by this?
think this, an aes key is just a big number. windows stores the keys in tpm or whatever. instead of that, (and what any reasonable person does) is they derive the key from a phrase. a password. by using a hash function like sha256 (use argon2d really) to get some constant length random number from your password. e.g. a diceware password (a bunch of random words, easy to remember)
also, use luks, use linux
