can't give you any specifics on that, other than a vague qualitative
statement that they will probably all still be secure in your lifetime,

with all foreseeable computing advances,

if you find it hard to type in a long diceware passphrase from the commandline
without looking at it,
then you might find this interesting:

it is a way of using a random string of characters rather than a collection
of words,

initially harder to remember, but once memorized, much easier to type
