Your comment on purpose-built systems makes me want to ask a question I've been wondering about for a while:

What would be the best way to encrypt something with a lot of files in it (like, say, a home directory), assuming you wanted to access it across the network on multiple devices?

Sorry if this question's annoying, it seems like something you might get a lot.

Encrypted LVM, or any other block-device-level method.

I admit I grievously misworded my query, but (something like) Magic Wormhole seems to be the answer to the question I was meaning to ask.

[yandrypozo]

in practice "the best" and securest way of encrypting a folder is zip-compressing it several times with passwords.

Wait what, excuse me?

I don't mean to insult you or anything but how did you came up with that idea?
