well, I would recommend the use of pwgen and Ccrypt as interim measures. one can generate passwords of a very high order strength with one and encrypt files and folders (and even drive images) with the other. Nothing like good old fashioned command line tools to offer security. :)

Have we ever done a workshop about using Crouton or chrubuntu on a pixel? Since about 85% of all I do is web work or ssh into a Linux server I really think I can get away with one now as long as 1) no issues access my git remote server / Heroku / Digital Ocean / Engine Yard 2) I can run atom / phpStorm / rubymine in the ubuntu area. If I can verify these things I’m planning on purchasing end of this week. But would love to find a USB-C storage drive to connect to it and perhaps encrypting it for any private data.
