@Izzy I have added the detail you're mentioning too. One uses a LUKS encrypted filesystem by mounting it then copying data into, regardless of it living inside a single container file or on a real partition. I don't think it's possible to use it as an archive by producing it directly from regular files.
if there's not much data exchange with the world, it's worth switching off the antivirus and only run manual scans periodically. of course it requires user discipline in case an USB stick will be inserted. it has to be scanned manually, everytime
@user3169 , Ring gave you a self sufficient pointer to the docs with an example right there, it is as simple as convert blackandwhite.jpg -negate whiteandblack.jpg for one file . The only additional thing you need is to loop over your files and feed them to convert. Look for examples of find + xargs
Do you understand that traffic shaping is generally effective for outgoing traffic only, since you don't control how much data you get from outside, unless it comes through another device (a router) that you control as well, so on it the traffic that goes to your endpoint host is also outgoing, thus can be shaped?
