We dropped the #fwupd side in https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/commit/575b0f08281799962e8fbf6ac2ff570066fa3fe7 -- and #LVFS will stop signing with GPG when we release 2.1.1 in a few weeks time.
I think the only people that will even notice are those using #qubes to deploy updates.

Anybody had any experience with the Qubes OS Forum member's?
I posted a farly innocuos topic and got totally 'flamed' by a member, and then pounded when I tried to defend myself, to the point I deleted my account after 24 hours.
Reminded me of an AOSP project and a crypto based messenger app I came across actually.

Some more good news...
@QubesOS is now graciously funding further development of Wyng, with the expressed goal of eventually integrating fast & secure Wyng backups into Qubes OS. This next stage of Wyng development will focus on a raft of features from the v0.9 roadmap that enhance convenience and user-friendliness, such as resuming interrupted backup sessions and direct cloud storage support.
Many thanks to the Qubes OS team for recognizing the advantages Wyng brings and for their support!

About:
Wyng is a backup system optimized for Linux copy-on-write (lvm-thin and Btrfs). Qubes OS is the hypervisor-based, reasonably secure desktop operating system: https://www.qubes-os.org/
π After a long beta, I'm happy to announce the release of Wyng version v0.8.0! 
Many new features and usability improvements were added since the prior release, including encryption, Btrfs support and fast differential restore. You can get it from Codeberg at https://codeberg.org/tasket/wyng-backup
What is Wyng? Its a backup system for large objects such as LVM volumes, disk images and database files with a focus on speed and security. It has space-saving snapshot management and uses copy-on-write information to accelerate incremental backups so that even terabyte sized volumes can be updated in just seconds. Unlike btrfs-send, Wyng's archive format requires no special filesystem on the back end, and its attack surface is also low since it handles information only as blocks. Wyng is ideally suited to backing up systems that use LVM or disk images where a frequent backup schedule and low impact on system resources is desired.
