Don't keep your secret stuff on the internet.
It doesn't matter if something is encrypted, password protected, or hidden behind a firewall. If you've got secret stuff out there on the internet, someone can find it and someone can get to it.
And, no, I'm not talking about "secret" stuff like your bank accounts and your personal information. Of course that stuff is on the internet.
I'm talking about real secret stuff. Deep, dark, secret stuff.
Stuff like the downloaded archive of your middle school Xanga page. Or the audition tape you made for The Real World when you were 19. Or the pictures you have of yourself from when you went through that fedora phase.
I know you want to keep this stuff for your own personal records, and maybe as some kind of bizarre warning for future generations about the risks of over-exposure to the internet at a young age, but please, just get this stuff offline and store it somewhere safe, like a portable external hard drive.
And then maybe, just to keep it extra safe, hide that hard drive in a hollowed out book or bury it in a box in your backyard or something. Trust me, I've seen those fedora pics, and you really don't want those getting out there.
