I would also add: 8. Securefs [1]

Gocryptfs has a comparison of these projets, here [2].

Focused on Windows only, to my experience, securefs is the one that is working the best as it is not using dokany but winfsp (FUSE for Windows). With all other solutions using dokany, the copy or sync of large number of files is damn slow or hanging.

Re:Julia as a CLI Calculator on Friday June 05, 2020 @10:22AM (#23428883)
As a RPN calculator user, my first choice is XCalc (http://www.tordivel.no/xcalc/).

The non-RPN one that I use the most is SpeedCrunch (http://speedcrunch.org/), Insect (https://github.com/sharkdp/insect/) and Frink (http://frinklang.org/). All have unit conversion too.

Re:Saving web pages as PDFs in 2019, a real challenge on Saturday December 14, 2019 @04:54PM (#21792555)
I gave up on the idea of reliably saving web pages in PDF.

I use now "SingleFile", a Firefox or Chrome extension that helps to save a complete page (with CSS, images, fonts, frames, etc.) as a single HTML file.
