I have 3 servers and this plug in has been installed on each for years. Everything has worked well. So much so that I frequently forget to check back on them for months. I happened to be doing other things in the tools tab and had an 'oh yeah FIP' moment. So I started just looking around to be sure everything was still running smoothly and found that 2 of my machines were running MD5 and one was running SHA2 and I couldn't for the life of me remember why. I turned on the help setting (consistently amazed at how awesome the help is) and it reminded me of the blake2 option which I think I had passed on originally because it said it was proprietary and I had some aspirations of checking my backups externally or some such that of course I never did. I did a little quick googling of blake2 and learned that there is now a blake3 that is approx 5x as fast as blake2. Has any thought been given to adding this as an option?
