WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
I noticed after an update on my void based distro that "vearcrypt" has some how been removed or no longer supported--upon checking the package repo at "voidlinux.org" I noticed that the tool is no longer listed in the repository. I'm just curious as to why that is? Also can I still get it functioning on my system via direct download/decompression of the tar file?
Directory encryption tools typically use either a userspace library (doesn't need sudo, performance overhead due to FUSE), or the Linux kernel's dm-crypt / LUKS features (needs sudo, better performance, very widely used). Tomb uses the kernel stuff. Quixand uses userspace stuff (specifically, EncFS).
If you'd like something similar to Tomb but in userspace, perhaps you'd prefer gocryptfs? It's also in void repos.
