There’s been some Friday night kernel drama on the Linux kernel mailing list… Linus Torvalds has expressed regrets for merging the Bcachefs file-system and an ensuing back-and-forth between the file-system maintainer.
It is only in TLS where you have to disable compression, not in HTTP.

There is also the BREACH which targets gzip/deflate compression on http as well. But also, don’t see how that affects disk encryption.
