Author of gocryptfs and co-maintainer of EncFS here. gocryptfs is a FUSE overlay filesystem for Linux like EncFS.

Some of the key differences to EncFS are: * Just one security level roughly equivalent to EncFS "paranoia" mode, at the speed of "default" mode. * A design so simple it fits on one page ( this one: https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/security/ ) * Explicit filesystem creation using "gocryptfs -init". No configuration prompts. *…

I had this backup code working reliably for years, using local file system, vps/dedicated server, or remote storage for backup, then I finally get time to wrap README, iron few missing switches and publish. Should be production ready and reliable, so it could be useful to others. Contributors are welcome.

i made sink. it's a simple little tool that continuously syncs folders between 2 devices. no cloud, no email, flash drives, no bs. it just uses your local wifi. run it on your machines, tell them to trust each other, and you're set. and if you manage to edit the same file at once, it handles the conflict and saves both copies. for anyone who just wants to get files from point a to b without the headache. hope it makes your life a bit less annoying. github: https://github.com/sirbread/sink binary:…

Hi HN, I'm building ThirdCloud with the goal to replace Google Drive for everyone: more private, cheaper & maybe better UI/UX. So far, I've successfully implemented the main feature, which involves uploading and downloading files. Files are encrypted before being sent to IPFS network. Would like to hear your thoughts on this proof of concept.
