cppcryptfs VS Joplin

If you want selective encryption, rather than full drive encryption, to be less conspicuous: gocryptfs (Linux)/cppcryptfs (Windows).

https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs with dokan and I’ve not had a single issue for a year. I use it with Google drive and iCloud Drive it’s amazing.

There's cppcryptfs & securefs as Cryptomator alternatives too. SiriKali is an option for a GUI that works nicely with them.

hmmm...

I largely use https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs with dropbox?

This would essentially eliminate any possibility of violating any terms of service as far as I can tell?

I'm not too comfortable putting any files on dropbox without some sort of encryption

fwiw, I've found that cppcryptfs is one of the better implementations of that sort though most (if not all) use the same library which seems to choke on certain files once in a while

didn't understand your question but see https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs

Not sure if you can use Google Drive as a folder (I can do that in Linux). If you can then cppcryptfs (Windows version of gocryptfs) would work. I use it in Linux for Dropbox and GDrive.

windows: cppcryptfs: I dont know how package management works (or if it even exists) on windows, best to get the binary from https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs/releases. There's one additional library you will need -- you'll find a link on that page

It says only gocryptfs is supported with the DroidFS, have you ever tried the Windows version? https://github.com/bailey27/cppcryptfs

Yo could try a walk-around though, but not sure how good the cross-compatibility is: gocryptfs for Linux, cppcryptfs for Windows and DroidFS for Android. cppcryptfs and DroidFS are based on gocryptfs. Theoretically, the encrypted files should decryptable cross-OS-wise

I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/

It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience. I created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
