Petitioning the Maintainer of 'Gocryptfs' to Import Argon2id Hashing Alongside Scrypt (or as a drop-in replacement)

Follow along with the issue here: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/520

Why you should care

Because I wrote up a mean script for this that allows for the creation of super secure gpg keys, w a private key encryption passfile that's ephemerally generated in 'RAM' in a stateless manner using a generic password (of your choosing) as the 'input'

I am going to abstract this onto a GUI that users can navigate using Jupyter Lab for a teaching experience / demo, then I'll make it a shiny, clean app.

Modern commercial (+ open source) password managers, vaults, cloud storage, etc., is woefully lacking when it comes to security parameters, and I hate that. I want to use the best cryptographic schemes available and utilize the libraries, code, & published cryptographic schemes available to us to their fullest extent - why not?
