@SpaceLifeForm : a spare motherbord won't help just like that.

The actual encryption key is stored in a TPM chip (the rescue code is used to allow the system to access to the actual encryption key).

So even if you have a spare mobo, you'll have to transplant the TPM chip from the old to the new mobo.

The best advice: have a backup, as recent as possible. My backups are on VeraCrypt encrypted external (USB) HDD's.

#MissKittyPolitics I am not private because I intend to be louder than fuck. If you work hard you can keep yourself protected from all except for #NSA level mfs. You cannot beat them cuz they are wired into the network ever since. They have gates in their gates. Shit like #Veracrypt still works.

@atrapavistas I'd go with #kopia .This includes encryption, so no need to have #veracrypt on the external disk additionally.

Maybe not straight forward, but a great tool function wise.

Local-Only File Encryption with JavaScript.

I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!

When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!

I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

BitLocker is Microsoft's built-in full-disk encryption solution for Windows. It's convenient, but is it safe?

How to Secure Cloud Storage on Linux With VeraCrypt

This step-by-step guide shows Linux users how to secure cloud-stored files with VeraCrypt by encrypting data locally, keeping encryption keys out of cloud providers' hands.

folx who use a #m2 #apple laptop and still use #veracrypt, i have a question:

have you encountering issues decrypting a drive encrypted with veracrypt?

every time i mount an encrypted drive and want to decrypt it, veracrypt errors out.

what always works is running:

brew reinstall fuse-t-sshfs

and then re-opening veracrypt.

has anyone else encountered this? is there a more long-lasting solution?

Still interested in answers, but the way #Liberaforms guides users in managing the private key is very good. I think a decent password manager will suffice here. I have my keys in a #veracrypt volume.
