Ooo haven't read the article yet but I'm hoping its a veracrypt alternative, hopefully they also have options to use keyfiles.
Edit: the article mentioned some customization but not at the level of veracrypt still not bad at all. It'll probably really take off after an audit but looks pretty neat. Also seems to have been around for a few years now, earliest article is around 2017, so I guess its not very popular but curious if anyone has experience using it?
Is there a problem with VeraCrypt?
Oh not at all just like having options available in case a project becomes inactive or some other problem happens. Love Veracrypt
Oh awesome! Yeah more options is handy.
if i understood it corectly, which is entirely possible im clueless, vaults uses cryptfs/encrptfs. like i think there's a few options from like blowfish and ...crap something about a squid lol. i've used it in the past with general success, however, that can be lost in a time of unintended shutdowns or system lock ups. which honestly seems fine to me but, it's worth mentioning as i've lost a few things after a usb install froze up.

LUKS is the Linux utility most similar to VeraCrypt; they both use block-level encryption. Vaults uses filesystem-level encryption. LUKS has been around for twenty years.
