Comment on Password Managers and Himitsu

Recently, I published a blog post on password managers, saying I’m looking to switch again.
As it turns out, Drew DeVault (and contributors) has been developing a new “secret storage manager” called Himitsu, written in Hare, a new systems programming language also developed by Drew.

Himitsu seems very promising (kind of like a better pass?1) and I might give it a try, although I’ll have to see whether I’ll be able to properly use it on any non-Linux devices, like my smartphone2.


  1. As in: more like pass than the other password managers I’m aware of. ↩

  2. Currently on iOS, but desperately looking to change again as a lot of things just don’t work when you look over the Walled Garden™. ↩

New keyboard acquired

After about 6 years of use, I've sold my trusted Keychron K2, a mechanical 75% keyboard with brown switches (75% means a laptop-like keyboard with no numpad, no separate arrow keys and no Home/End/PgUp/PgDown "islands"). The keyboard works jus…
