Syncthing: Untrusted Device Encryption
I'm looking to improve my documents syncing setup. Currently I'm using owncloud, but that seems overkill for just files syncing and it requires maintenance, so I gave Syncthing a look. The "Untrusted device encryption" was not appealing to me because I'm not convinced by the security aspects yet, and also because it is in beta for now. I used gocryptfs [1] in the past and was quite happy with it, so I'm planning to use it on top of Syncthing to have files synced encrypted. As far as I have read this setup (Syncthing + gocryptfs) seems to be used by several people and has already been discussed by gocryptfs' author, who recommended a `-sharedstorage` flag for such use case [2]. Reading [3] I think gocryptfs is more suited for files syncing than cryfs. I'm aware that the metadata (file size, structure, …) of my files are not encrypted but that's a compromise I'm ready to make.
I would be happy to hear about opinions about this approach.

My Mother Found Out I was Installing Linux...
If you want selective encryption, rather than full drive encryption, to be less conspicuous: gocryptfs (Linux)/cppcryptfs (Windows).

Hertzner or other cloud encryption question
https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs might be a solution. I dont use it, tried to for some backups but ran into some issues unrelated to the solution itself but with my backup solution.

Mountpoint – file client for S3 written in Rust, from AWS
JungleDisk was backup software I used ~2008 that allowed mounting S3. They were bought by Rackspace and the product wasn't updated. Seems to be called/part of Cyberfortress now.
Later I used Panic's Transmit Disk but they removed the feature.
Recently I'd been looking at s3fs-fuse to use with gocryptfs but haven't actually installed it yet!

Does btrfs send/receive provide any benefit for moving new, non-incremental data?
I think the fundamental issue seem to maybe be the changing inode numbers with things like gocryptfs. Git annex needs those to be static as far as I can tell.

Enigma: A simple cross-platform encrypted filesystem in Golang
A comparison gocryptfs would be appreciated, since this software, at first glance, has no differentiating features from it.

A simple cross-platform encrypted filesystem in Golang
There is a pretty nice project gocryptfs that instead of encrypting container, it substitute on the fly virtual filesystem that encrypts content and file objects. So, if you would share to cloud that virtual filesystem, you don't sacrifice a byte on your system.

Why is VeraCrypt no longer supported by voidlinux?
If you'd like something similar to Tomb but in userspace, perhaps you'd prefer gocryptfs? It's also in void repos.

Full Disk Encryption on the Steam Deck
Check this https://gitlab.com/popsulfr/steam-deck-tricks#encrypted-vaults-with-plasma-vault-and-gocryptfs You can even install the gocryptfs binary directly by downloading the binary from the source repo https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/releases and storing the binary anywhere in your $PATH (I've added ~/bin/ for that purpose)

I Backup
I've been happy with: https://kopia.io/
Fairly easy to configure, does snapshots to S3 and has a icon in my tray I can watch :)

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
I noticed this project while comparing restic/borg and am thinking about trying it.
Initially I thought this was a corporate project and was looking for the monetization model, but then I found https://github.com/kopia/kopia/blob/master/GOVERNANCE.md
I feel like the project might benefit from making their governance model more prominent on the website.
Kopia also means a copy in Polish and the author is Polish. The first paragraph in the software's Github page also confirms the Polish origin of the name: https://github.com/kopia/kopia/
Tangentially, as far as OSS names of Polish go, kopia is pretty tame. A popular UI deduplicating app is called czkawka (hiccup). Now that choice is just mean towards non-Polish speakers. :)
Kopia is great, though it's worth noting for folks on Linux: non-UTF-8 paths aren't stored correctly [1] and xattrs aren't stored [2]. While most folks probably won't care about the former, the latter can could cause issues (eg. losing SELinux labels makes it difficult to restore a backup of the root filesystem on distros that use SELinux).

Borgbase backups have been unavailable for 3 days – recovery is at 26%
I used their trial for a bit to test it out with Vorta [1] in a container. Vorta (and Borg) seemed to work fine, until I wanted to restore an archive and I noticed that my recent snapshots were completely empty. Probably because of a misconfiguration on my end though. But it made me look elsewhere. For me backups should be a fire, test and forget solution.
Recently I made the switch to Kopia [2] which seems to have feature parity with Borg (and Restic [3]). It also has a web UI which is way easier to work with than Vorta. And I can easily view, extract and restore individual files or folders from there. This gave me way more confidence about this solution. The only thing I really miss is that I cannot chose different targets for different paths. For instance, with Borg I was able to backup a partial of my Docker appdata to an external source. And I haven't found a way to do this with Kopia. Besides that I'm pretty happy with this solution and I would recommend it.

About Scripts for Btrfs Maintenance
Surely this incident highlights the importance of backups, right? 5 TB is even a manageable amount of data.
I also used to run btrfs in btrfs-RAID10 configuration until apparently a flapping SATA link and fsck attempts were able to break the fs completely. Full system backups were great that day. I run https://kopia.io/ nowadays every three hours during day time and I've been quite happy with it.
Nowadays I run bcachefs.. Backups are still handy :).
I suppose the reason why you chose NTFS was to be able to access the data from Windows, at least in case of emergency? Because there are a lot of filesystems that are presumably more mature than NTFS is for Linux.
