I was wondering something about the practical side of security for disk encryption. If I don't have FDE equipped drives is it more secure to use software based encryption on the whole drive and have encrypted containers on it or to have multiple logical volumes encrypted with different passwords. My use is very mundane. Mostly I want to have my music on the same drive as everything else, but have everything on the drive encrypted. I want to get back to using encryption as a common part of my habits. So should I have the mundane items on a separate logical volume or is bundling it all together equally secure? Probably going to go with Veracrypt unless there's something glaring that I haven't turned up?

They're not advocating putting your passwords on dropbox, but to use it to hold the encrypted container that KeePass needs so you can keep it synched between devices. As long as you feel that the container is secure then the risk you're taking hosting it on dropbox is minimized by rotating passwords.

"Of Facebook" or hadn't heard "X thing about Facebook" before? I'm exceptionally curious that there exists a demographic that hasn't been subsumed by the Facebook juggernaut. Is it really only that ubiquitous inside America?

No, I won't be "rolling my own," but I would love to know the semi-technical workings of public keys, AES-CTR, stream ciphers...stuff like that. https://crypto.stanford.edu/~dabo/cryptobook/draft_0_3.pdf
