Barry Kauler ☛ QV now has encrypted folders
Unfortunately, the btrfs developers have not shown any sign of being interested in progressing with this. The "v5" patch from March 2024 is still the latest. Anyway, I decided to take another look at it, applied the patches to the 6.8.12 kernel (as the patches were developed on the 6.8.x kernel source). This time booted up without having folder encryption, just to see if the patches have some degree of sanity -- nope, got to the desktop, then the btrfs filesystem shortly afterward changed automatically to read-only -- btrfs does that if it detects an error, to avoid further damage.

Kyle E Mitchell ☛ Open Source Company as Costco
Companies developing open source software projects charge customers, too. Their book of business may feel a bit like a club, especially as compared to the often larger group of “community” users. But the open source work that makes those companies “open source companies” aren’t club goods, but public goods, the kind with all the cursed funding problems.
