Self Hosted Password Manager: bitwarden_rs

You familiar with BitWarden? It’s another one of those password manager services that comes as a browser extension or standalone program, and allows for things like storing TOTP keys, generating new, secure passwords, and all that fun stuff. Except unlike others that I’ve seen, it has one difference: You can self-host an instance. Though, their self-hosted options look a little lacking unless you want to give them money. Well as it happens with an open sourced project, someone decided to create a BitWarden API compatible server, thus creating bitwarden_rs. And this is why it’s cool.

Delta Chat: Instant Messaging Using... Email?

So this is a fun one, and likely a long one. Come, let’s talk about the unlikely backing for a decentralized, privacy-focused communications platform, the very weird ways in which IMAP can be used, and a hopefully final wrap-up to my streak of rambling about PGP.

BorgBackup: (TODO: Insert Borg Joke Here)

I was really fighting with my inner self to have a straight-forward title for this one, but alas, resistance is futile.

BorgBackup, or, for short, just “Borg”, is a relatively fast (more on that later), efficient, secure, and authenticated way of backing up multiple devices either on a single network, or even across networks (you’ll see, again, later). This is currently what I use for backing up my stuff, and, well, it’s just cool, and definitely something you should take a look at.

Syncthing: Cluster Based, P2P File Synchronization

So I know I just got finished talking about Nextcloud, but just stick with me here, there’s only one more piece of software that I’m going to talk about: Syncthing.

Goodbye Drobpox, Out of the Way MEGA, Here Comes Nextcloud

So you know what Dropbox is, right? Free cloud storage. Put your files in Dropbox, and they’re available anywhere, shareable to anyone, if you want. Sounds cool, right? What about Mega? (Or MEGA?)

Well, let me introduce you to my newest cool thing: Nextcloud.
