Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
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.

Looking for file encryption method? (In order to upload cloud)
Check out the scrypt encryption tool.

A warning to always remember that Obsidian Sync is potentially dangerous
Given that the encryption algorithm is open source (https://github.com/Tarsnap/scrypt) can you try to explain what you mean here?

OpenSSL and a rookie (me)
I wouldn't use OpenSSL personally. If you just need simple but secure symmetric encryption, checkout the scrypt(1) encryption utility from Tarsnap. If you need support for public keys, check out age(1).

What is the best encryption for files?
scrypt if you strictly only need symmetric encryption.

Ask HN: Where to ask for feedback about a cryptography related tool
First of all I know that "implementing your own cryptography is bad". However, at some point, one does stumble upon a use-case that is not (well) covered by existing tools.
Now, assuming one has already done his due-diligence and has read (and hopefully understood at least the main ideas of) cryptography related articles / posts / etc. (especially in the area pertaining to what one wants to build), and thus we can assume one is not a complete newbie in this mater, however, nor is he an expert. Basically we can assume he is an "amateur".
Where would one go with his design to ask for feedback about it, in the hope to at least eliminate some weaknesses that one (as a non expert) might have overlooked. (I'm not speaking here about "proofs" or "audits".)
----
More specifically ---- but please let's not get into this right now, this being just an example ---- I'm trying to implement something similar to `scrypt` (the encryption utility, that uses the `scrypt` PBKDF, ) or `age` (), as a replacement to my current solution that relies on GnuPG.
- Hat.sh V2 release - simple, fast, secure client-side file encryption.

Audacity Is Now A Possible Spyware, Remove It ASAP
It entirely does and that's exactly my point. Most "hashes" are designed to be fast, for data validation/checking whatever. For securing data (passwords, anonymisation, etc) you want a "hash" to be as slow as possible. Scrypt for example is designed to be extremely slow and use much memory (making GPU-based parallelisation useless and driving up the cost of CPU-based work). The default settings for five-second hashes changes their 18 hour estimate to a bit over two years... and that's assuming you don't turn it up further.

What do you guys use for all your personal info?
There's cppcryptfs & securefs as Cryptomator alternatives too. SiriKali is an option for a GUI that works nicely with them.

Client-side encryption for Hetzner Storage Box
There's also this: https://github.com/netheril96/securefs/

Enigma: A simple cross-platform encrypted filesystem in Golang
Well, time to advertise my own competing offering: https://github.com/netheril96/securefs. Works on Win, Linux, Mac and BSD.
-
Ask HN: What does everyone use for encrypting their personal stuff?
I wasn’t satisfied with the options available, so I wrote my own: https://github.com/netheril96/securefs. It has authenticated encryption, highest quality of password stretching, and works on both Unix-like and Windows.

Cryptomator – Encrypt files on your cloud storage
If it is not against the rules, I want to promote my project (https://github.com/netheril96/securefs) here. It is essentially the same functionality, but with authenticated encryption, better password hashing and optionally file size obfuscation (but no fancy UI).
- WinFsp – Windows File System Proxy
What are some alternatives?
age - A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.
cryfs - Cryptographic filesystem for the cloud
GpgFrontend - A free, open-source, robust yet user-friendly, compact and cross-platform tool for OpenPGP encryption. It stands out as an exceptional GUI frontend for the modern GnuPG (gpg).
rust-9p - Tokio-based asynchronous filesystems library using 9P2000.L protocol, an extended variant of 9P from Plan 9.
hat.sh - Encrypt and Decrypt files securely in your browser.
winfsp - Windows File System Proxy - FUSE for Windows
serve - Static file serving and directory listing
DroidFS - Encrypted overlay filesystems implementation for Android. Also available on gitea: https://forge.chapril.org/hardcoresushi/DroidFS
react-idle-timer - User activity timer component
sshfs-win - SSHFS For Windows
PrismJS - Lightweight, robust, elegant syntax highlighting.
