freeciv VS Cryptomator

#4 - Free Civ - Its Civilization 1 and 2, a free clone. You can download the game here; OR play via the online web version... which is my favorite... has a great 2.5 iso view that adds depth.. or join a mega game where 300 or so human players play one turn per day.

Also, a similar question points to FreeCiv: http://www.freeciv.org/

I also played my fair share of FreeCiv, because my second favourite Amiga game was Civilization. ;-)

It's worth-trying if you're interested in seeing what the "4x" genre is about. Probably not Civ 2 on PSX, but you can get Civ: Revolution (Civ "dumbed down" for consoles) on the PS360 generation consoles, Civ: Revolution 2 on mobile (not a bad attempt but really should've stuck on console), Civ 6 on the Nintendo Switch, or FreeCiv on PC and/or mobile if you want a Civ2-experience that isn't stuck on the original Playstation (or hunting down an older DOS/Windows copy). Alternatively, if looking for a Civ5 experience and not on Steam but mobile: There is UnCiv which can be pretty decent for the price (free) and platform (mobile). It won't match Civ6, but it's near "current" based on Civ5.

It's a tough one to recommend for, that fanless system tends to overheat just being on, much less running anything, from all I've read. I'd probably stick with some basics like ADOM, FreeCiv, Battle for Wesnoth, etc. (all three are free by the way). Those games are non-system intensive so shouldn't put too much pressure on it to run them, and turn-based so you don't have to worry about lag. Looking for a bit more action, give the demo for Torchlight a go, see how the system handles it. Should be capable enough but with heat issues it could put a crimp in the play. Similar with Windows (Bedrock) edition Minecraft, give the free trial a go and see what's what. Fez, Bastion, Braid, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Beyond Good & Evil, Commandos 2+3, Deus Ex, Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Empire Earth, Europa Universalis II, Fallout 1/2/Tactics, Fate, FlatOut 2, Gothic 2, Ground Control, Hearts of Iron, Hitman 3: Contracts, Homeworld (the classic version, comes with the remastered), IL-2 Sturmovik, Jagged Alliance 2, Machinarium, Majesty, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Mount & Blade, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, Planescape: Torment, Praetorians, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Quake 1-3, Rayman 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Shadow Warrior Classic, Sid Meier’s Civilization III (or give Freeciv a go instead), Silent Storm, SimCity 4 Deluxe, Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, Starcraft (original, it's the free one), System Shock 2, The Curse of Monkey Island, The Settlers IV, Theme Hospital, Thief, Thief 2, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider II, should run on that.

Freeciv is well, free : https://www.freeciv.org

the best way to do this is with https://cryptomator.org

Before putting anything on a cloud service I would recommend 3rd party tools, like Cryptomator, to encrypt folders and such, then upload to a cloud service.

I use Cryptomator - https://cryptomator.org

I've used countless encryption "schemes" over the years, from True/Vera-Crypt to encrypted sparse bundles/images, and none have ever really felt right.

These days i tend to use Cryptomator[0] instead. It accomplishes what none of the others could do, which is transparent encryption across devices.

With Cryptomator, i simply create a vault somewhere in the cloud, stuff data in it, and i can access it from my laptop, phone or tablet, and not think much about it. It integrates into the normal file browsing APIs, and doesn't get in the way.

Because it does "per file" encryption, it also doesn't need to download a 20-100MB chunk from the cloud before decrypting, so it's rather fast (depending on file size of course).

Cryptomator's arguably the most popular encryption software for cloud storage (you can give yourself zero-knowledge encryption by using them) - it's actually what they specialize & focus on (cloud encryption). It's 100% open source and Free to use on computers. On phones I believe it's just a 1-time fee of a few bucks ($13-14, then you have it forever) - note: their iOS offering is still new, so may be a bit unpolished at the moment.

This is the solution: https://cryptomator.org/

Cryptomator. It is made for uploading files securely to cloud storage, but works locally, is easy to use, and completely free for your use case.
