The _pass_ tool is an nice simple offline password manager, based on PGP, which works well for me. But I don't expect to be the victim of a targeted attack.

I'd add to that that you might want to find yourself a part-time job, or work as a contractor, which would free up time to explore your other interests. You don't need to get all your life's fulfilment from your day job (idea
