Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting
diegantobass@lemmy.world 1 week agoThis. I’m not that old yet, but the realization hit me in the face pretty hard. And all the more reasons to sort it out. And definitely simplify. Or “make it usable” let’s say.

You don’t even have to be old. Death or serious illness/injury can affect us at any age, and it would suck if your family lost access to all the self-hosted photos and videos, for example.
“Make it usable” is a great idea.

Scaryyyy !
I just very recently discovered that bitwarden (vaultwarden) has this perfect feature like a “trusted contact” (not sure) where you can choose a person that can request access to your password vault, and if you DON’T answer in X days (configurable), they get access.

And you can put a secure note in there that has all the instructions necessary for them to access anything they might need (either by taking that note to someone skilled enough to follow the instructions, or by making it dead simple enough for them to just extract everything to an empty external ntfs hard drive in a simple file hierarchy).
