gollark: I use Android, so I can use *Termux* on my phone, which is a nice local terminal thing which can also use SSH. Very convenient. Occasionally.
gollark: There might be software which just encrypts files and filenames/some metadata but keeps other stuff intact, or splits it up into several pieces, but leaking metadata would partly defeat the point.
gollark: The problem is more that *most* ways of encrypting stuff would just leave a giant binary archive or something which needs copying over in full on any update.
gollark: Something like that might work. I guess that stuff isn't as important/sensitive as my other stuff and doesn't really need encrypting, so I could just sync it across pretty efficiently.
gollark: Though I'm not sure *what* I can do to usefully backup my 50GB of media, which is just archives of TV shows and YouTube channels and whatnot.
