Linux is a doomed operating system; here's how you can save it

That's all fine, but IMO that's overdoing it.
Linux makes it too easy to just create disk images and mount them. Why bother with encryption?
It is unlikely you will be hiding your porn from someone who has the capability to mount a disk image in Linux. Each and every person I've met till now who knew how to work with Linux already had a pr0n collection! :p
put that disk image in that hidden /boot and encrypt it :)

<Pryoidain> What are you trying to hide?
<asaph> Nothing that needs encryption, I just want it to be tricky to find.
<Pryoidain> got a separate /tmp partion?
<asaph> of course.
<Pryoidain> unmount it then copy sh!t to /tmp. It will actually copy it to the /tmp directory on the ROOT filesystem. then when you remount /tmp, the directory becomes a pointer, pointing to the real one, but without removing any of your files in the physical directory on the root system.
<Pryoidain> No one will ever find them unless /tmp fails to mount, or they're looking for it. even if they're looking for it, they'll see them in /tmp and assume their garbage, that is if you name them right.
<asaph> ...that's fu(king genius.
<Pryoidain> I know, I've been hiding my porn under the /boot directory for about 3 years now.

LOL... hahaha...

So if you really want to hide the stuff, images won't suffice. Use GPG. GPG uses such a strong encryption method, its impossible to decrypt it without password.

Technically, you aren't hiding it. You are just making it unreadable (un-playable? ;) ) for them who don't know how to open it. :p

Actually I think having a couple of password protected files lying around is more of a giveaway than simply renaming them or putting them in an unexpected folder. :p
