I have a pi4 and been very happy with the dimensions and low power usage. What could I get for the same price and power use?

Genuine question. Im looking at a pi5 right now.

Care to elaborate? What's wrong with "hosting" on a rpi?

Yeah, what's stopping the richest guy in the world just buying blue-sky as well?

Haha that is some app name!

Probably because they want to be able to maintain users during device switches. Given much of the world is on an annual or bi-annual cycle it'd suck to lose your users each time.

I wouldn't bother arguing with this person. They're either trolling or intentionally ignorant - either way, you will lose to their vast experience.

Is this Poe's law? I genuinely thought this was satire but the downvotes and responses are very serious!

That's a bugger! Maybe report it as an issue on their github so you can track when it's fixed?

Interesting, thanks

I wonder if someone can come up with some kind of distributed storage that isn't insanely slow. Kinda like a CDN but on personal devices. I'm thinking like SETI@HOME did with distributed compute.

Edit: this is kinda like torrents but where the contents are changing frequently.

Never used GrapheneOS. Did it export and import okay? Looks like not.

 

I'm going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden's paid tier is only $10 a year which I'm happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn't need any additional hardware.
