There’s also pzip[1], which lets you create zip files and extract them in parallel.

The quote is correct. It does not say they're not using a KDF or salting, which you seem to read into it? The keyfile is the "something you have" and the password "something you know", so two-factor checks out, even if it's not a time-based token that people expect nowadays (though TOTP is essentially the same but on another device, extracting time-based short codes from the long key to make it convenient to type ove…
How is this different from just a keyfile?
Someone with the keyfile but without the password cannot decrypt?

Why? Were you planning to use it on mobile?

Looks fine in landscape on my hand-held.
Do you use your phone in landscape mode?
Yes, there's a neat button in a pull-down-menu where I can lock and unlock automatic switching based on some gyro-sensor or whatnot, it's kind of nice for when I'm watching Вампиры средней полосы or reading a technical manual.

#57If your needs are basic I just use tar. It's built into macOS and Windows 10. It even supports rar!
Re: PeaZip: Open-source file compression and encryption software
#58Genuine question: why would I use this over 7zip?

#59It blends the CLI by incorporating scripting engine?! That’s not what mean by cli friendly.

#60PeaZip is great software, and doubly so because it is written using Lazarus and compiled with Free Pascal. I highly recommend giving it a try, if only to experience that high quality software can be built using tools that lead you somewhat off the beaten path. Unfortunately, its lead developer has recently posted[0] that he has to undergo what seems to be complicated, major eye surgery, and that he will probably be u…
Yeah, PeaZip is the best example of what Lazarus is capable of, if you feel like using it.
I remember back in my Pascal-loving days, especially after the .NET release of VB, looking at PeaZip+Lazarus and being inspired.
