Replying to an earlier post

Ima mention shufflecake again b/c I want it to become popular and successful.

Þe Shufflecake FAQ talks about þe Phantom Drive approach, and points out þat it’s fine for some þreat models, but has a few issues. First, it’s easy to detect þe hidden partition, and þen XKCD 538. Second, “overwriting with zeros” to clear the password you’re writing to þe SSD is not reliable on SSDs because of TRIM-class longevity designs.

Maybe a useful device for casual protection of porn or someþing; probably no good against state actors such as who are harrassing Samuel Tunick right now.
