I have lost my fucking USB. It's NOT encrypted. Some Mexican has found it in the trash can next to my house and will fucking use it maliciously. Identity theft is fucking coming.
LEARN TO INTO ENCRYPTION. FFS it's so easy but I was always fucking lazy.
If you're paranoid, like ACTUALLY paranoid, diagnosed with it as a mental illness, then fucking encrypt your shit. If you lose something sensitive, you will have a nightmare coping.

What's a way to encrypt my USB or the files in it so that it's compatible with most computers and especially public ones?

I wonder if I'm able to open zips in library computers. I guess that's the closest universal solution but I wish there was (fs) encryption that was natively supported by Windows, Linux and Mac that when inserted just prompted your password and that would be it. Though plugging sensitive data into public computer is a hazard in any case.
so don't fucking plug data into public computers
Oh shit wow great idea, I wonder why I never thought about it. The issue is that sometimes it's necessary for me to do that, either in the library or in school. The encryption would be for travel, so my files aren't readily available if I lose my USB stick. If the public computer is copying my files, well, there's very little I can realistically do about that in cases where I need to use those computers and use my files on them.
zip the sensitive data, don't zip stupid shit that needs editing. nobody cares about shit you'd edit in a library
