@Sigma I understand. Without any real documented alternatives and migration paths, changes like this can be expected to trip up people though 🙃

- #fscrypt only supports some filesystems, setup and migration seem very manual and tedious, no #nixos wiki page or writeups
- #gocryptfs is FUSE, but also seems tedious, nothing for nixos either
- #CryFS is totally not designed for homedir encryption (though someome tried but stopped).

Pleasantly surprised with #CryFS after a bit of fiddling with block sizes.

Okay so.
The thing is, I don't want to make a separate partition for this. A partition file works, some sort of directory encryption also works.
I tried #luks and #veracrypt and they both seem to work fine in that regard (veracrypt's GUI is a bit clunky but whatever).
And today I found out about #cryfs. Which also looks neat and fascinating and much simpler than either of the above.

@VerseAndVermin Thanks for the follow-up. I never used their cloud service (I generally prefer #gocryptfs or #cryfs encrypted volumes on providers like dropbox.

However, that does sound concerning - I'll avoid using them too - I liked that they were a very old player that was in the market since the #wordperfect days, but the times have changed.

Hopefully #freeoffice works better for you, though I've found myself liking #onlyoffice over freeoffice.

Playing around with #salt on #plantuml to write #wireframes out of boredom. Had been aware, but not really tried my hand at this stuff - it is pretty convenient.

I do have a shell script wrapper at the moment that I've been using locally to automount/unmount my #gocryptfs and #cryfs folders while storing the passwords in #kdewallet. I'd like to convert that to a #python UI (I'm not proficient in python or GUI design). Been reading up in my spare time on #qtquick #qml etc.

@cybersoldier @tuxi in the background, I generally have #signal desktop, #bitwarden , #cryfs #gocryptfs and other messaging/music apps. While these are generally not CPU intensive, they eat up a reasonable amount of RAM

I've been using #cryfs encrypted bare #git repositories to keep my personal repositories synced between my computers. It looks like the number of files/directories in cryfs impacts performance with bare repositories - a. #cryptomator crashed on Linux b. switching to #cryfs works fine on a single computer, but synchronization of the changed files giving me some issues.

I'm not very excited about switching to #encfs due to security issues, but I'm going to switch my bare repositories for now.

I have a #wishlist #sideproject to start with a cli wrapper for #cryfs that integrates with #pass / #secretservice .

Once I get that done .. UI wrapper to provide context menu and customizations visually.
