  • Can’t say if its “normal” or not but I’m exactly the same. It sucks sometimes cause I want to work on multiple things. Developing a project, learning a instrument, learning a new language, training cardio. But I seem to only have time for one at a time. Because I’ll put soo much time into that one. Whichever one is most interesting at the time.

    At the same time though I kind of think its a good thing cause when I’m interested in something I can have a lot of fun and make a lot of progress fast.

    But yeah if I find a new TV show or game I have to completely finish it before I can get back to being productive.



  • I self-host a lot of stuff. But password manager just feels risky to me. Like what if I mess up and lose all my data or something.

    With bitwarden being encrypted and all I just didn’t see any down side to using their server. Plus more convenient since I don’t have to VPN to use it. Or open a port.

    All of that just to ask. Am I missing something? Should I be self-hosting it? I wondered about using both so I’d have a backup ether way. Or in case their servers go down for awhile. But that’s super rare.


  • Since I use a good password manager. And use TOTP on everything I can. Which admittedly I do store in my password manager as well. I don’t think passkey really improves security very much in my case.

    That being said though I’m a big fan of passkeys and use them everywhere I can. But I don’t store them on devices only in my password manager. So I don’t have to worry about if I lose a device.

    I think where passkeys really shine though is for people who still aren’t using a password manager. While I’ve tried to get everyone I know using bitwarden most still don’t. And the ones that do still don’t have half of there accounts in it. They are still reusing passwords across multiple sites. So I think passkeys will massively increase security for the majority of ppl. And for those of us using password managers I still think its a slight improvement to convenience.



  • Not really a answer to your question but I thought it might help.

    I tried the next cloud setup since I already self-host a bunch. And I didn’t like it. Like you said updates can mess it up and sharing is annoying. Just in general it was buggy for me.

    So I switched to proton. Which even though is hosted on someone else computer, it feels plenty private to me with the E2E encryption. I use proton drive which is easy to share things just like google drive. I use proton Calendar. And I use proton Email. Its slow progress but proton really seems to be fully replacing google for me. They even just added live collaboration to drive. Which was like the one thing I still use google drive for sometimes.





  • If I’m understanding the question right. This is what Immutable Linux distros do. Such as Nixos, fedora silver blue, and vanilla os.

    I use nixos myself. But its quite different then most distros. The way you config it and install packages. For the better in my opinion.

    Something like silverblue works pretty much the same as normal Fedora except you can’t install packages like you normally would. Because the system files can’t be edited. You mostly use flatpak for everything. Except the system updates. Which you have to reboot to switch to the new updated image. But past images are saved so you can rollback if needed.

    From what I understand Chromebook os is a Immutable Linux distro same as the ones I mentioned. Just with Google with built in.
