    Oh you're right, I mean the car. The tires probably lasted ~60,000 which is pretty average. Still a wild difference. I wonder how many miles the whole cybertruck will last.

    I'm really not a fan of flatpaks or snaps but I do think making vital directories off limits is a good idea.

    KDE Linux's base system will be immutable, meaning that nothing will be able to change critical parts of the system, such as the /etc, /usr, and /bin, directories. User applications will be installed via self-contained packages, such as Flatpaks and Snaps.

    I do see a trend of gen z using flip phones. Definitely not these types of flip phones though.

    It should only ever be decrypted locally, according to them. I just don't like the idea of the hash key being in the same place as the database file.

    BitWarden seems more trustworthy than other closed source managers, though. I am, admittedly quite paranoid.

    I completely agree. Keepassxc has a feature to backup the file on time intervals or when it's edited. I have mine setup to backup to all 3 drives of my computer, my laptop, and my phone.

    I'm not against putting the database file in the cloud... just not a cloud that would also contain the password and/or hash data to open the database. In case of a leak, all the security features are null and void.

    Honestly this seems like the best option for me. I could sync the files over ssh or ftp and just use git to track changes... and to prevent borking my codebase.

    Does anyone know if it's worth hosting my own git server?

    Tech blogs love to recommend 1Password and nordpass. I've used both a good amount. Both are proprietary and pretty sucky. Not secure in my opinion. I'm not going to pay monthly to get a feature complete program. The in-browser password managers for both chrome and firefox are okay, but they don't get anything outside of the browser and tend to be inconsistent. I wouldn't trust a super important password to just linger on firefox.

    I haven't used many open source password managers because I found keepassxc first, and it's perfect for me.

    • It runs on anything.
    • It can hold more data than just username/password.
    • It has a cli, if you're weird (or your computer breaks)
    • The file is stored locally, not in the cloud.
    • It has a browser extension for ease of use.

    I know it's good because I haven't thought about it until now. It does it's job and nothing more.
