- str4d 7y agoYes. age encrypts large files in 64 kiB chunks with 16 bytes of overhead per chunk, which strikes a balance between file size overhead and performance (particularly when seeking).
- todotask 7y agoThat's interesting and seem to be an alternative to encrypted zip or 7z which could be used in productions?
