should I encrypt offline private data and how?
| just so you know, the log is stored as PLAINTEXT at first to let the user know what it does, but it's a double edged sword.
i realize that perfect 24/7 logging could potentially be a huge privacy leak, but i dunno who to consult about that. then i remember that y'all treat privacy issue like it's satan himself so i'd like to hear your opinion on my case.

| i just realized the last paragraph sounded like a joke so here's my plan for now:
- use some strong encryption
- ask user for a password that won't be stored anywhere
what do you think? is it alright? would YOU feel safe if you were a user? would you use it at all (i.e. even if it's made by a reputable company and not some schmuck on the internet)?
| There you go you fixed it yourself
| well, I really don't know. Is it for mobiles or desktops? Is it hard to write such a program? Could it be open source?
I bet Google already has enough stuff to spy on everyone's privacy, and normies don't bother about that either way.
| >>385633 i made a file encryptor in python with stronk encryption, if it can help i can give you the link. Though mine wants 2 passwords and a number but i can abridge it to a password.
But also logging in plaintext is okay because it's offline so except for a specific virus there's no leaks here. I would give it as it is and if there's fire you just add it. But, but, your log file should be stored in appdata or something very deep. I dont want a log like that be on my desktop

Don't use his programm if you can't read it.
Maybe try sum open source encryption.
PGP still isn't cracked but probably will get cracked in the next 5-10 years.

>don't use his source code
>use other source code
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
But yeah if you're that paranoid that you don't even trust aes indeed pgp is a good solution

>don't use the source code from some random dude on the internet
>use the source code of some random people on the internet which was looked at by houndrets of people with idk how many forms n good documentation

| i'm making a noncommercial app that tracks the active window at any given time sort of to calculate my productivity.
it is offline and the log is never uploaded anywhere, but i'm trying to get it open for public testing so i'm starting to worry about privacy leak of other people.
