    I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad your dad can live on in your good memories, for what that's worth.

    I'd estimate that I check the site as few as one or as many as ten times per day, but I comment/participate in more spread out batches.

    Neat tutorial site! I tend to gravitate towards bowties now a days, but I was a frequent user of the Eldredge Knot back when I wore regular ties.

    The Age of Empires 2 custom maps. The only one I can clearly remember is "Castle Blood", but there were many others that were also tremendous fun.

    I also spent a fair amount of time in the various arcade modes on StarCraft 2, once upon a time.

    If your hosts aren't using LVM, it may be worth looking into. Using it and partitioning out my various root directories has saved me more than once to out of storage problems.

    I self host VaultWarden, but that's just because I'm a home labber. My best friend pays for BitWarden, and has been happy. Depending on your needs, there's nothing wrong with the free version. The "smartest tech guy I know" (@SnoFox but he hasn't really actually been on the site since I invited him) uses 1Password. I don't think they have a free option, but knowing how much I value his opinions when it comes to ITSec, it'll be my first choice if I ever have a reason to move off BitWarden.

    That said, there may not be anything intrinsically wrong with keeping on with Google Password Manager. I just can't say, I've been on BitWarden since before Google Password Manager existed. Maybe it's good, and still fine for your needs? Someone else can probably chime in, who has more specific knowledge.

    I don't know if there's an easy way to download them all or if that's a thing people even do.

    The two quick ways to do that would be:

    1. If they initiated a Google Takeout, which you can check at: https://takeout.google.com (Look at "Export progress" at the bottom, packaging a Takeout takes hours to days, depending on how much data you have).

    2. If they were offloading all your mail via an IMAP client. You should be able to see everywhere your account is actively signed in somewhere (at the bottom of the GMail page I think?). Additionally, given you have MFA enabled, they would have had to generate an App password to do that. The linked page will list any active app passwords associated with your account.

    So long as you changed your password and signed out everywhere, and don't have any app passwords you don't recognize, I don't think you have a ton of immediate threat. My next concern would be if they compromised your Google Password Manager, but I'm not much help there, I'm a BitWarden user myself.

    I've been on the free version of Veeam for over a decade, and it has been fantastic the few times I've needed it, both for individual file restoration, and volume level restoration. My only complaint is that I have to use pre/post backup scripts to back up remote machines over sshfs, as the native options are a local filesystem, samba share, or a VB&R server (not free).
