The Secure use-cases of old (weak) encryption primitivesblock cipher with 64-bit block size

I wonder in whichIn what cases we can we use deprecated encryption schemes. In fact I think aboutblock ciphers with 64-bit block ciphers likesize (e.g., DES or Blowfish.)?

Can this kind of block cipher be very secure for certain specific types of plaintext (for instance those having a lot of entropy)  ?

Thank you in advance.
