Linux and Luks full-disk-encryption for every system. Remotely unlockable via ssh. HDDs are unlocked via keyfiles which are on the fd-encrypted SSDs.
For windows you can use VeraCrypt (don't use Bitlocker!).
For single files I usually use 7zip or Peazip with long passwords.
I hadn't even thought of that!

Why riskier? Keep a backup of the boot-image and you're good. And do generally backups of files and devices. Haven't had any issue for years with Win10/11 and VC. Win7 and TC/VC on the other hand was awful...

I like this idea. I never use keyfiles - I'm irrationally paranoid of losing them - but I've been doing a good job of regularly backing up (in a way I'm confident of recovering from) for the past several years, so I'm going to let go of that fear and embrace keyfiles.
