  This is a smart solution. Only solution I have so far is self hosting bitwarden, using unique password to login, and having 2fa to login to bitwarden, where the key is in bitwarden, and on aegis on a phone at home.

  You’re absolutely right. It’s all about your threat model, how much convenience you’re willing to lose and what not.
  I absolutely should do more to minimize potential risk, but it’s really so convenient to just… Have it all in 1 place…

  I do this. I want to point out it is absolutely TERRIBLE for security. It’s turning 2 factor back into 1 factor authentication.

  If you look at what data they handed over you’ll realize this is a positive thing. You have verifiable proof that the contents of your mails is private, and you’re calling it a negative thing that they have your IP address??

  I’d love to know how to deal with this. Currently sitting on 12TB used. Decent upload but cloud storage for that much is expensive. I have 5 8TB HDDs, 2 of which act as redundancy in RAID6 config.

  One thought I had was convince a friend to setup the same, and dedicate half of each other’s storage as redundancy for the other person.

  Thrive. Essentially spore 2. Been in development 10 years and is entirely free to play. If you want to support them it’s €4 on steam.

  Worst part is it’s not half-baked… It’s been baking since before 2k…

  Thank you! I hope so too.

  You are being unfair. I have been searching for 6+ months for a position in IT, had 2 companies that paid $40k+/yr, 1st one didn’t pan out, 2nd one is in progress. Countless $15-20k/yr offers though. I am in Europe looking for remote only positions in any form of tech support, python programming but preferrably linux server/desktop support.
