  • Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again. It’s the next best thing to just remembering complex passwords.

    I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.












  • I explain fast boot to people by saying “for some reason Microsoft went and made the Shut Down button not actually shut down your PC, it really just puts it into a ‘deep sleep’ mode, and to their credit, it lets them say that boot times are faster… But it also means that in order to FULLY restart the PC, you have to click restart… I know it’s a pain”

    Usually I get looked at like I’m from another planet, but that reaction means they’ll probably remember it later.
