For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
rage
- Do any libraries exist for zero-trust file storage (storing client-encrypted data on the server without the key)?
-
JSON compression in the browser, with gzip and the Compression Streams API.
I have already built this into a small feature in my app, but I do plan to integrate it deeper and bake it into the core functionality soon. Which should be another interesting problem to solve as the app has integrated client-side encryption using Age (rage (rage-wasm)). But that's for another day...

age.el: age encryption support for Emacs
I just added rage (https://github.com/str4d/rage) support, which does support pinentry, see https://github.com/anticomputer/age.el#known-issues for an example of how to use rage instead.
- Axcrypt -- or is there something better Reddit would recommend?

The PGP Problem (2019)
Really appreciate this article. It's a little snarky but it hits the mark and encourages people to try Age, which is a pretty awesome little tool.

Ask HN: What does everyone use for encrypting their personal stuff?
I'm not convinced that whole-disk encryption is sensible for most threat models, but I use the built-in FileVault on macOS (under the reasoning that, at the very least, it can't really hurt).
On Linux, I use age[1] (specifically, rage[2]) to encrypt sensitive files. I wrote a secret manager that uses the latter as an encryption backend[3], and I use `rage-mount` to mount (read-only) views of encrypted archives.

What are your "need to have apps" on Fedora? Top5 / Top10?
I’d say wormhole-gui (https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui), but I might be a bit biased :)

Computers as I used to love them
> No, seriously. It’s so simple I thought I missed something. But no. After you run that binary, you have a fully operational node of Syncthing. It’s ready to sync with any other Syncthing node, no other setup necessary. There’s no installers, no package management (but there are packages if you want to), no registration, no email, no logins, no password creation, no 2FA, no consents, no user agreements.
The most similar experience I had to this in recent years was using a program called wormhole for peer to peer file transfer: https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui
It was refreshing in a similar way; I download and open up the program, a friend does the same, and we can send files to each other, with a code genereated from the program. None of all this accounts stuff.
(For what it's worth, file sending has a similar issue as backup/sync that the author described -- most modern services are some centralized/cloud form, as opposed to the old days of ICQ/AIM/etc. where you could actually establish a direct connection to a friend and send files.)

Error when trying to build wormhole-gui as flatpak
Any reason for not just using the go mod vendor support? That was what I have planned to use in the future. Actually managed to get a working Flatpak. Could do with some tweaking, but it is generally working now :) https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui/issues/23

GPG-Tui, a Terminal User Interface for GnuPG
TLDR at the bottom.
It seems the answer is Brian Warner's magic-wormhole. You're gonna see lots of file transfer sites with wormhole in their name, but if you want security you should use the original one, which is BW's m-w.
It is implemented in Python [1], so it's hard to install.
So someone made a Go version of it [2] that has binaries for windows, Mac, Linux, BSD etc. But it's command line so maybe not suitable for lay people.
So another person made a GUI for it that also has binaries for all OS [3].
Also there is an android app [4]. Someone needs to implement an iOS one.

TLDR: ask them to install [5] and [6].

Try it, it's usage is cute and really feels like magic.

It seems like there’s already a GUI version. If you still want to make your own, go for it, but I figured I’d mention this in case you hadn’t seen it.
