FSCrypt (should be putting this in the @librecryptography channel as well)
Think that this is a great file-level encryption tool for those that are looking for one (hell of a lot better than encryptFS where the author of that tool didn't want to get off of their ass to ensure that it was equipped with the latest & greatest as it pertains to standardized cryptographic algorithms - specifically KDFs [dumbass insisted on leaving Scrypt - which is vulnerable to side channel / timing attacks] - https://opensourcelibs.com/lib/fscrypt
FSCrypt uses Argon2i for its KDF (believe that it also leverages XChaCha20-Poly1305 for encryption as well (could be wrong on that - but check the encryption to see if this is something that I'm wrong about)

I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
Mr. Durov launched Telegram in late 2013 with his brother, Nikolai, just months before he was pushed out of VK, the Russian social-media platform he founded. Mr. Durov pitched his new app—funded with the proceeds from the VK sale—less as a business than as a way for people to send messages while avoiding government surveillance and censorship.
