Or just use plain old gpg and a git repo or backup service. Pass is good because it is roughly domain specific to passwords and secrets. I wouldn't exactly consider tax forms "secrets", but rather just private information. Adding everything private and the kitchen sink seems like a misuse, but if it works, it works!

Looked at the wikipedia page for that project briefly, seems like just a private file server type thing.

That seems like a different use case from what I am after, which is safely and redundantly storing secrets in plain sight. I don't put random things in my password store, I put passwords and other sensitive or easy to misplace files that I will likely want to find later.

I agree that you'd be better off storing most of your files on a file server. But that's a different thing, in my opinion.
