Topic: sync devices

Hello,
from a post 3 years old [1] I see that 'cryfs' supports unfree services and therefore a risk for privacy, thus it cannot included in Hyperbola. However, cryfs is in fact install-able as hyperbola package.
I use cryfs+lftp for remote storing and device synchronization. But I will switch to something else in case the package will disappear. Has somebody recommendations?

Re: sync devices

Thanks for the reminder that we cannot support cryfs any longer. Reasoning: There is no real BSD-port available.

Human being in favor with clear principles and so also for freedom in soft- and hardware!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!

Maybe these could help

but I do not know much about remote storing and device synchronization.

Re: sync devices

I see that cryptsetup is still listed, but I guess will be removed (I do not see a BSD port available).

What about encfs? it is currently listed as hyperbola package, and at least openbsd has a port.

Re: sync devices

encfs is planned to stay.
