I have a couple of questions, what do you consider picocrypt?
I use picocrypt primarily for individual files, zip files, or when sharing files with others, especially when I don’t want the file host to be able to read the file. However, it’s not something I would use instead of a container. I consider it more of an addition to the security tool belt.
Considering that I am also interested in taking a backup of my linux home folder and fedora configuration, would you consider something like BorgBase with its vorta integration (and if this is the case, would it be necessary to use a veracrypt container for it considering that borg also encrypts your backup) ?
I haven’t tried borg, so I can’t speak on it. I’m using a self-hosted version of Etesync for syncing and encryption with an offshore storage provider that accepts Monero to not link my identity to it.
For OnlyKey vs YubiKey see Jonah’s reply. Personally I prefer the OnlyKey due to the self-destruct option and the peace of mind I get from the pin security. I can wipe it quickly in an emergency or, if it falls into someone else’s hands, I know that it’s highly improbably for them to make use of it. It’s a final safeguard to protect my data.
Regarding the OnlyKey backup, I don’t mind the functionality of it. This is where Hidden Backups come in, so nobody on the outside would even know that the backups existed, which to me is an important part of my security setup
