I sync it using my pCloud folder. In case I’m away and I need access to them, I also have a cron job that copies the most recent version to a webserver I have, under a directory I only know of, protected by a password. My .kbdx files also need a credentials file that can be generated programatically. Secure enough for me.

As a European (but who lived for 10 years in Montreal, that’s why I have an account here) I applaud any initiative to move digital infrastructure away from the US. Good luck.

Ok, I understand. In my particular use case that shouldn’t be an issue. My Cryptomator folder is local and I use it only locally. Then there’s a sync process to copy stuff to pCloud automatically, but that copy is never touched directly by my.

But in any case as you said, backups.

I used borg for my backups, but why do you say Cryptomator vaults are fragile?

Also: encrypt everything you upload to the cloud with Cryptomator or something like that. I amazes me I used to put stuff directly in my pCloud folder.

If you use uBlock Origin, add the following rule:

* privacy-center.org * block

This kills 99 % of the “accept or pay” modals, an you can still access the page normally.

It would have been better to use this link. It contains their username and looks way less fishy: https://www.youtube.com/@americanmedicalassociation/videos

It’s also linked from their main page (see YouTube link at the bottom): https://www.ama-assn.org/

In other news, this is expected. Fire enough people with skills and knowledge being brutal about it and you create some disaffection. If Russia and China weren’t trying to fish something in there they’d be negligent.

I was doing this with documents only when I was using Veracrypt, which forces you to have a fixed volume size and I had to pick and choose what to put inside. When I discovered Cryptomator, which uses a directory and can grow as much as needed, I decided that there was no need to think about what I should encrypt and what not: let’s just put everything inside that folder and be done with it.

Use whatever cloud provider + encryption on your side. That way you don’t have to trust them.

I use pCloud (based in Switzerland) and what I sync is a Cryptomator vault. You have other options, such as VeraCrypt, etc.

First of all, thanks for all the work you do. I lived almost 10 years in Canada and having an account here makes me feel warm inside (not on the outside :-) ).

Any idea why the recent influx of new users? May it have anything to do with Reddit planning to put some subreddits behind a paywal?

Thanks again!
