Age (and its rust implementation Rage) combined with agenix[0] and age.el[1] has made my self-hosted deployment and management so, so easy without compromising security. That, when combined with general NixOS conveniences is why I'm able to self-host at all. If not for these, just the anxiety of having to setup new server in case of whatever loss and the associated time/opportunity loss kept me from dong the same for years.

Anyway, just want to say that Age is great!

P.S. The author also did an analysis of Restic the backup tool [2] which also prompted me to setup nice backup solution for my machines. Pretty cool.
