.github/workflows: improve release reproducibility Remove the go-version-file test target, because it will just use the toolchain line. It's a bit unfortunate we lose coverage of a go.mod version that's older than oldstable, but that should not happen and it'd not be a supported Go version anyway.

More File Encryption

VeraCrypt
veracrypt.fr

VeraCrypt is open source cross-platform disk encryption software. You can use it to either encrypt a specific file or directory, or an entire disk or partition. VeraCrypt is incredibly feature-rich, with comprehensive encryption options, yet the GUI makes it easy to use. It has a CLI version, and a portable edition. VeraCrypt is the successor of (the now deprecated) TrueCrypt.

Cryptomator
cryptomator.org

Open source client-side encryption for cloud files - Cryptomator is geared towards using alongside cloud-backup solutions, and hence preserves individual file structure, so that they can be uploaded. It too is easy to use, but has fewer technical customizations for how the data is encrypted, compared with VeraCrypt. Cryptomator works on Windows, Linux and Mac - but also has excellent mobile apps.
