Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
I partially encrypt/decrypt a file based on the presence of special HEREDOCs (ie <The tool is still a WIP as it isn't portable between machines -- https://github.com/higgins/privatize

Show HN: My new free note taking tool
Yes!
I keep a daily log tracked in git. All of it public although some information is encrypted with my privatization tool (https://github.com/higgins/privatize).
The log itself is a simple org file but I parse and render it in html here so that I can share important event dates (eg: my wedding) with my family and friends.
Here is what I did yesterday:

Show HN: Partially encrypt a file based on its HEREDOCs
ooo, good call out. thanks!
currently i only have one warning in place if I forget to close there heredoc: https://github.com/higgins/privatize/blob/main/index.js#L168
but could add some more error checking. added to TODOs: https://github.com/higgins/privatize/commit/9696f30576897898...

When added to a git repo, it will automatically transparently encrypt/decrypt files you want privatized.
For example if you configured your repo to privatize the file `example.txt`, you could write:
```

And occasionally to encrypt files, or receive encrypted files.
These are practical things which are non-theoretical.

Depends on how careful you are or want to be, with your private key. My house key isn't the same as my car key isn't the same as my bike key.

Alright fair, bad example. What I was grumbling about was more the lack of any clear communication that you've been auto-opted-in to a feature on protonmail, with no user interface signal indicating so, leading to confusion for a couple months like in TFA. I definitely wasn't casting shade on the opengpg keyserver, nor protonmail. It's the "hey! I didn't check a box for this, and it's not mentioned anywhere in the protonmail docs" hidden functionality which could do with some clarification.
I'm a forgetful creature. If I intentionally put my key on a keyserver, because I'm playing around and learning about PGP, will I make the connection between it and protonmail a few months down the line if I move my email account to them? Unlikely.
It's a nice automated feature. Protonmail-to-protonmail e2e encryption makes a lot of sense. I just think protonmail-to-non-protonmail e2e needs a tooltip in the UI, and the option to opt out, potentially with the ability to opt out for specific email addresses. I wouldn't at all assume it would be on by default even IF I've been actively using PGP in my email clients, because it's something you usually have to manually set up yourself, very explicitly. That, and 99.9% of emails are plaintext.
Anyhoo, one thing I forgot which kind of negates the "what if I have multiple encryption keys tied to my email" is the fact that the opengpg keyserver does tie 1 email address to 1 key so you can't publish multiple encryption keys, fair enough. Git-crypt and file encryption, I set my associated email address to use +tags eg [email protected], so as far as protonmail etc are concerned there's only one key per logical email address.

Is it safe to commit a Terraform file to GitHub?
Apart from a few exceptions (like ansible for example, which supports native encryption), we moved away from encrypted secrets in git repos and use external things, depending on the platform (like parameter store / secrets manager for AWS or keyvault for Azure - both of these do track changes, btw), so I haven't looked for quite a while. Back in ye olden days we used https://github.com/AGWA/git-crypt which worked quite nicely, but the key management is cumbersome and it's based on GPG, which in itself is a bit of a light redish flag these days.

GitHub Private Repos Considered Private-Ish
How about encryption?

Codeship jet alternative
You might want to check out git-crypt. It allows you to encrypt and decrypt files in a git repo without needing an external account, and supports .env files. That said, trying your hand at making one as a personal project could be a fun and rewarding experience!

Ask HN: Privacy-Conscious GitHub?
I hesitate to append this but one option I have seen thrown around and also debated is git-crypt [1] There are many caveats to doing this as any integrations that would need to read the file contents would also need to be able to decrypt the files so this may not be entirely useful and may add many levels of complexity and fragility.

How can I Make this binary statically-linked?
Here is the Makefile.
I use git-crypt to encrypt files in git repositories quite a lot and I find that it doesn't work on RHEL-based distros because of some missing or out-of-date library. I need to build a statically linked binary.
