@jesustricks it's definitely not!

@ewpratten I made it LUKS-encrypted and hold one password in there, but there's several "slots" that you can use. My next iteration of it will have a key that resides on my server at home, so that nobody without the key and the flash drive could unlock it. I'm storing sensitive data on it, like private GPG and SSH keys, OpenVPN authorized profiles to my servers, email backups and things like that. That more than anything is why having lost it got me so worried.

@gitlog I have one machine in the network that runs Windows: https://www.nixmagic.com/cauldron

I've just found my LUKS encrypted flash drive back. It was never stolen.. it somehow got buried in the depths of my pockets. No idea how I didn't look into my jacket for the entire time since that incident happened... But I finally found it back. None of my keys were ever compromised. And there's several backups that were stored there that have now been recovered too. Time to dd this flash drive onto a more permanent storage medium again for archival. Either way, it did get me thinking about the security of this drive. And I'll implement them on the next iteration of it.
For now though.. happy ending. So relieved to see that data back...
