I'm submitting this with the hope that folks share other NixOS tutorials.

Replied with this on a different thread, but I built an extension[1] so that I could choose which sites are opened in Chrome... so that whenever I need to use Google Meet, it automatically opens it on Chrome.

I agree, if I lost my memory and can't remember how to access my blog or run docker then I'd be out of my digital life.

In that scenario though, I'd also be out of my digital life even if I had access to 1password.

I wish I found your app before I wrote mine [1] :) you seem to be way better versed in cryptography than I am. What's the advantage of having the main document and the keys separated?

I trust it enough no solve my DR scenario. If I was targeted by the NSA, I don't expect this to keep me safe.

I don't think SecretSharingDotNet has had any audits, and I'm pretty sure i hasn't been checked for side-channel attacks. I couldn't find anything in GitHub [1] saying it's no longer maintained though.

I'm pretty sure a well founded attacker would be able to hack me, but I think it's orders of magnitude more likely that I'll forget my master password, I'll get stolen, my apartment will catch on fire or I'll just die. Those are the scenarios I'm preparing for.

here you can see how I'm using Shamir Secret Sharing, I gave clear instructions on how to use the shares and in what circumstances.

based on their dynamics, I'm feeling pretty good. I know I have some people there that are tech savvy + some that will take good care of their shares and when they should send those to whom.

Implementation is trivial (especially if you find a library) but maybe you can be inspired by my plan https://g3rv4.com/2022/04/a-plan-for-my-secrets

Shamir Secret Sharing could be the answer you're looking for... I'm sleeping better at night

here's a quick blog post I wrote with my plan. The app is trivial to write if you find a library for your preferred language

yeah, I've been thinking a lot about it... Shamir Secret Sharing and splitting the shares in a way that makes sense to me have me piece of mind.

I even wrote a trivial console app to let my wife restore my secrets if I were to drop dead tonight.
