I have a similar setup with the same case haha recently built as well. Your use-case will be more than fine. My only suggestion, aside from try and get more RAM. If those hard-drives are in a redundant raid setup, and you don't already have one, get a backup drive too. Especially if the price for the drive IA decent. Last thing you want to do is to buy a replacement drive later when prices are jacked up or have to do the RMA process with only 3 drives running your data.

There's a clip in the CBC article linked in this post, the minister that tabled this bill was asked about age verification's effectiveness and kids getting around it in Australia.

The response was basically: Just because it doesn't work, doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.. It's a brain dead take.

According to the full text, there's no such consideration regarding "traditional" the only thing that I can see that qualifies a "social media" service as "regulated" is the number of users, and that's apparently TBD by some yet to be appointed council.

Fediverse will be hard to enforce compliance, so I don't know what they'll do to try and force age gating on us.

Eh. Bitwarden is better in that way, but not by much. It's honestly not that bad if you just sync the keepass DB somewhere. Whether that's cloud or syncthing.

Bitwarden's apps are where it's a better experience. But there's still somethings about the apps that are very lacking. Like not being able to sort entries.

I easily sync my keepass db across 5-6 devices.

I use KeePass on like.. I dunno 5-6 devices? They all sync together via Syncthing. No server needed. My keepass db is just one of the things synced this way.

Works pretty well.

These are the apps I use:

Desktop (Linux & macOS): KeePassXC Andrdoid: KeePassDX iOS: KeePassium

The whole ecosystem can be used for free. But like.. tip your open source devs yo.

Syncing happens pretty quickly with Syncthing. So conflicts in the keepass DBs are very rare (maybe once a year if I'm impatient after a change on a different device). But they do happen, I'll give you that. Some restraint (wait for sync) and checking (this is where sorting by modified helps!!!!) what's the latest change helps.

You can't fathom why someone would want to.... sort a list...?

I don't know how to answer this. I think you're serious, but I can't tell. Want to read that community post I linked where over 600+ people voted for the sorting ability?

Use Tailscale. Don't expose the port to the public. You're good to go. On iOS, the Tailscale app allows for on demand joining of your Tailscale network (when you're off from your home network for example). This makes it easy. On Android it's not as direct, can use Tasker to achieve this, it's not great. But there's a feature request on their repo too.

Alternatively, there's Netbird which behaves similarly. I haven't tried it, but have read good things about it.

Neither are US based as well if that's a concern for you. Tailscale is Canadian, and Netbird is German. Netbird is completely open source. With Tailscale, the CLI and Android apps are open source, and there's an open source alternative to the control server called Headscale. But honestly, using their free tier is probably enough (for both services).

Lol for years I have been wanting to switch from KeePass to Bitwarden. Mainly cause the UX/UI felt nice to me.

My initial hesitance was that I didn't love the idea of my passwords being on someone else's servers. But I found out about Vaultwarden. So I kept my eye on it's development and longevity. Now that it's well established, I'd say I trust it now. Next I figured out a way to selfhost without exposing Vaultwarden to the public. Everything seems to be lined up for me to switch.

A few months ago, I decided it was time. After moving my passwords over and getting a flow working, I went to sort by most recent.... Oh wait. You can't sort by date. You can't sort lol I sat with this for a few hours and reverted back to my trusted and working KeePass flow.

EDIT: This is one of the most voted feature requests. Also, it's just table stakes! It's crazy they don't have this feature ๐Ÿ˜‚

Privacy policies change. Most closed source services and apps don't have a GitHub repo. I've seen some, they're usually for github issues. But they're all slimey and confuse users into thinking they're open source. Not a good look. I would not trust a company that does things like this. The goal is to support open source.
