- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 3 hours ago:
I use KeePass (Keepass2Android, KeePassXC, OG KeePass, and KeePassium) for everything. Been using KeePass in general for 20-ish years.
Recently, I decided to export all of my passwords from Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, import the data into my KeePass database under their own folders, then delete everything from the browsers. That way I can move entries that weren’t already in the database to their respective locations in the database hierarchy, delete duplicates, and change insecure passwords.
The database is hosted on my phones (work and personal), laptop, gaming PC, and a server at home, all synced with Syncthing. My work laptop also has Portable KeePass that accesses the database via WebDAV to my server.
- Comment on Reevaluating my password management 3 hours ago:
I do the same thing on my laptop and gaming PC. My only beef with KeePassXC is that they refuse to implement WebDAV, despite the OG KeePass having it. Otherwise it’s fantastic.

Yeah, super hard to find…
- Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks] 1 week ago:
It never went away. It’s still a feature. It’s just stored locally on your device. Thats it.
- Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks] 1 week ago:
Misleading as fuck. The Timeline feature never went away - it’s just device-only.
- Comment on PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed 1 week ago:
Ah, this makes sense now. I was wondering why it hadn’t been updated in a while, that was my only hangup.

What if I decide to digitize my entire movie catalog? I would have to rip those DVDs and blurays…

Synology is already enshittifying itself

$5 for mine
- Comment on Selfhosting on old MSI laptop 1 month ago:
Not if you get a laptop that supports battery charge limiting. Like a Thinkpad.
- Comment on Considering a refurbished Lenovo ThinkCentre M920q for use as a discrete HTPC / SteamLink console. Is this a good idea? Does anyone here have any experience with these? 2 months ago:
Tell them to suck it up and deal with it. ¯\(°_o)/¯

The M920q is 8th gen

Ah, ok, I get the general idea now. UCCU uses this software, too (you said you worked for MX, which is based in Lehi… I also work in Lehi 😅), but I gotta be honest - I’m not a huge fan of the mobile app. It just feels like a PWA. But that might just be UCCU’s implementation, so, IDK.
- Comment on Best ‘simple’ budgeting app 2 months ago:
The whole thing 😅 how do I know if my bank uses MX?
- Comment on Best ‘simple’ budgeting app 2 months ago:
Can you elaborate on this some more?
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
You’re not wrong, and I agree in that it feels like W10 is where MS finally got it right.
However, hindsight is 20/20, and those sentiments were definitely not felt in the first few years after W10 was released. Once all the big issues were worked out and people figured out how to remove the bloat/spyware shit though, it was a solid OS.
What did W11 add that we didn’t have before? A TPM requirement? Ads? AI slop/shovelware/spyware?
W11 right now is essentially a shitty skin on top of W10, with more ad/spy/bloatware shit. The kernel is still version 10.x.whatever FFS 😅. But SHINY INTERFACE and ONEDRIVE

These are the people that companies like Apple pander to, with the whole “it just works” schtick.

Microsoft: you had a good thing with Windows <previous version>, and you pissed it all away when you put out the crap that is Windows <new version>.
Ftfy.
That said, there is something to be said for how popular Windows is, and the modifications and QoL improvements offered by 3rd party devs.
- Comment on Does it ever make sense/is it possible to move certain docker volumes to another physical volume, but not all? 2 months ago:
I have several NFS shares that host multiple docker volumes. So yes.
- Comment on OMV remote access 3 months ago:
Sounds like you’re pretty familiar already! I use OMV for my NAS and have several NFS shares for various services. It’s a solid solution IMO.
- Comment on OMV remote access 3 months ago:
First and foremost: Do not expose your host system or the OMV admin interface to the internet. Ever. Only expose services that have been properly isolated from the rest of the network and host system. Everything else you can access via VPN, or locally.
Secondly: OpenMediaVault beginner’s guide by DB Tech. Him, Craft Computing, Hardware Haven, and a few others whose names currently escape me, are all solid sources for hosting things at home.
After OMV, I would start with learning Docker and other containerization methods, and VMs.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
That’s a solid 3rd party use case. I’m setting it up on my cluster right now.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
No, PC isn’t Java only. PC is the only platform that can play Java, while literally everything else - PC included - can play Bedrock.
Bedrock has been the norm for longer than Java was now, sorry.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
If both are Bedrock, then no problem.
- Comment on What host names do you use? 3 months ago:
Physical machines (except my gaming PC) get Ratchet & Clank character names.
VMs and LXCs get descriptive names.
Gaming PC is called “Dagny”; it’s a Scandinavian name for “a new day”, since that PC was a gift to myself after my divorce.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
I run 7th gen Intel hardware for my server cluster. Minecraft VMs run totally fine.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
I’ve had zero issues running vanilla in a basic VM.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 3 months ago:
Why is everyone suggesting random third party shit?
Straight from Mojang/Microsoft:
Bedrock: www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server/bedrock
Java: www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/server
Follow the instructions and go.

I have two domains through Porkbun. Never had an issue with them. No-nonsense, simple UI, good prices.

It’s fine, I built a 5800X3D/7900XTX system as a gift to myself after the fact 😅
