[HacktionLab] A few updates to the web site

[ana]

Hi,

I can't update the website myself I don't think, and this thread became
a list of possible talks/ workshops for the next camp so, maybe should
change the subject to "proposed talks for autumn camp" or similar?

Anyway, below is my proposed addition. I have - unsuccessfully - tried
to encrypt an external hard drive, so I would love to receive a talk on
the subject.
