There should be a contest: Who can find the most implausible data storage medium? (Rated according to various criteria such as ingenuity, reliability, max. data read/write rates, latency, storage size, costs…)

To get reliable and free storage, photo hosting is usually the easiest way. Flickr offers 1TB, picasa/g+ offers unlimited storage with some hidden quoats. Everything that allows lossless photos lets you store arbitrary data. Depending on how careful you wanna be you can store hundreds of GBs per account. Email attachments used to be a great way a while ago but nowadays using multiple gdrive/dropbox/onedrive accounts…

If you had a language model (say, trained on existing comments from Reddit), you could encode the data in the comments in English, and make the abuse a little more subtle.

.. Much like how gfycat encodes their links eg.: - https://gfycat.com/JaggedIdealFrillneckedlizard - https://gfycat.com/ThirstyAmbitiousBuzzard - https://gfycat.com/AlertSpicyBlueandgoldmackaw

I wonder if there are any libraries that can do this? I was thinking of writing a password generator web-app that creates full diceware sentences (TheBlubberyPythonFloatedDownThePurpleFunicular == lots of entropy and easy to remember), but I'd need a decent language model for that. (And I don't feel motivated enough to write my own.)

Why not "Article Adjective Adjective Noun Adverb Verb Article Adjective Adjective Noun"? If you're making full sentences anyway, the grammar of the sentence doesn't need to change much. The vast majority of the entropy is already in the words themselves. Example sentence (generated by me, not a RNG): "the tiny hairy fish quickly paints a big scary monster". EDIT: With 10 words, each from the 252 most common words...…
