And some copyrighted shit from Dolby. Granted, header files only.

At first I was... wow, no shit! Open source Winamp!

But then I went through the Github issues (because, 6 hours since first commit and already 5 issues open?). As someone else put it, "This has got to be the most embarrassing open-sourcing i've seen to date.". The licensing is a mess, the coverup is a dumpster fire. By tomorrow this is going to be as viral as Twitter's "open sourcing" of its recommendation algorithm they did last year. Not sure if I should make coffee or popcorn in the morning.

Please don't go the RaspberryPi route for serious self-hosting, you'll regret it later when you'll realize it's not powerful enough for ie NextCloud. It can handle PiHole for example (minus digging through the historical logs / stats via its interface), but when adding more and more services (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, a VPN, home automation, etc), it will be easier to expand via VMs (Proxmox) / Docker on a single machine that you need to maintain, you'd have easier snapshot backups, single point for firewall rules, etc, than adding RPIs. Buy a mini server, you'll have flexibility, room for upgrade, and the costs and power consumption will be justified when scaling to multiple services.

‘no immediate timeline’ toward monetization

Soo, starting tomorrow

I second the idea of a VPN instead of directly exposing devices or software to the internet. Requires more work and learning but it's more secure. I would argue that well-known VPNs are more scrutinized and pentested than any camera software ever.

I'm rebooting my router every week via a crontab because some dynamic dns update process fails from time to time and I find it hanging. No time to debug the actual problem.

Well, that's what you get for hosting on a Windows server. XAMPP / WAMPP should only be used for local development environments. And I'm sure they still have horrible non-production config defaults.

My best friend, the Uber driver, which I prefer to shut up all the way home. But hey, what are friends for, he keeps me hydrated!

I'm not sure what you're comparing it to. Keepass is free too, in fact it's open source. In my opinion, local software and database that is under your control is always superior to cloud.

Keepass over Bitwarden offers a lot of plugins and integrations, again, if you want more customization or automation.

But, I would say you can use any online password manager as long as it's end to end encrypted, so Bitwarden is a good choice.
