Multiple pen-drives with encrypted storage holding keys; how does that sound? Good idea?

I asked a very similar question earlier and the consensus is to encrypt before you upload. That way you care more about reliability than privacy

IT in finance sounds wonderful. I would love to target an SRE position at the big banks but that's too far off right now

Telecom seems fantastic except it's really hard to get into At&T or Verizon at the moment

Why is runit a man?

I absolutely will, if I can find one

I use a custom script to give me what I need
