  • Right now I sneaker net it. I stash a luks encrypted drive in my locker at work and bring it home once a week or so to update the backup.

    At some point I'm going to set up a RPI at a friend's house, but that's down the road a bit.

  • I don't use AI at all. What you described is the principal reason. I also don't like how these giant corpos are sucking up the entirety of human output to train these models without a care to the implications of it.

  • Right! It's kinda wild when you do see them. I always equate it to the feeling of being in a casino.

    What really throws me is tv commercials. When I do see one, like in a waiting room or something, all I can think is, "people fall for this?"

  • I don't know of Amy open source projects that do this, but if you're at all comfortable with bash (or another scripting language) and a little self hosting you can roll your own with Olivetin, which is what I did for all my personal data tracking.

    I have it running on a raspberry pi zero w and access it through the pwa.

  • I am always shocked when I have to use a browser without an ad blocker. How do people tolerate it?

    I mean, I get it. I know many people have no idea about adblocking, etc. But goddam. It's so awful without it.

  • I self host vaultwarden and its great. Its an easy self host, and in my experience, it has never gone down on me.

    That being said, my experience is anecdotal. If you do go the vaultwarden route, realize that your vault is still accessible on your devices (phone, whatever) even if your server goes down, or if you just lose network connectivity. They hold local (encrypted at rest) copies of your vault that are periodically updated.

    Additionally, regardless of the route you take you should absolutely be practicing a good 3-2-1 backup strategy with your password vault, as with any other data you value.

  • If you go with Wayland, use Hyprland. It's pretty easy to find configs for Hyprland on github and/or tutorials on YouTube. I watched a few YouTube tutorials to get an understanding of how it works and then adjusted the base config to my liking.

    If you're using x11, there are more window manager options to choose from. I have no recommendations there, but I know i3, DWM, bwspm, and openbox are all popular and should have tutorials and configs readily available to work from.
