Very interesting. You don't have any need for persistent storage that exceeds the amount of information that can be remembered? (E.g. work artifacts, photos, passwords)


I don't want to assume on spaceboy's behalf, but I think all you need is to remember a master password to some sort of (online) password manager. From there you could use cloud services (eg. Dropbox) to access such documents.

Securing cloud hosted documents is obviously another discussion.


I have tried deterministic password managers, but as with most solutions they have flaws and tradeoffs[1] to consider.

Remote storage is an option.
