Brilliant! That worked!

This was one of the rare times I installed a firmware update without waiting. They even sent an email telling me how urgent it was to get my NAS patched.

To that note, anyone have any idea how to get Hyper Backup to stop telling me that my backups are “partial” because Video Station is no longer found? It’s not even on the list of apps, but tells me that it’s been disabled as an option to back up because it’s not available. Annoying!

Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing “choose your country”, cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

Compared to something like the FF extension “SingleFile”, I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

I’ve been very happy with FreshRSS (docker install) running on my Synology NAS.

You can run this right from Windows: https://jan.ai/

You’ll need a lot of RAM, and processing is decently fast, even on a basic laptop.

edit: holy hell. Grammar.

The number one thing that most of these don’t do well for me is the connection with banks.

A bit of an anecdote, but i was a long-time user of Mint, which integrated with all my banks and credit cards, which was nice.

When I decided to selfhost, I was disappointed that bank syncing wasn’t a thing, or it had these roundabout ways of working, or they simply didn’t support the banks and credit cards i use.

So… I ended up wity Money Manager EX.

Once i did the initial importing of my records, everything since has been manually entered.

Now, this might seem tedious depending on how many transactions and accounts you manage, but it’s really not.

Depending on how often you update your records, you can do an easy export/import of your transactions from your bank (usually a csv export). Doing this once a month isn’t terrible.

I just manually enter all my transactions. Yes, more work, but also less frustration and it makes me feel more in touch with my spending.

Even not having to worry about the hassle of syncing not working, or having to fix things like that is a huge weight off my shoulders.

Anyway, just wanted to share my experience because bank syncing shouldn’t be a make-or-break thing.

Rich coming from the party of voter suppression…

Just wait until everyone is forced to wear screens on their faces 24/7, because that’s the way tech companies want us to live. I’m not being sarcastic, either.

There’s a reason why so many people consciously choose to “disconnect” when they want a mental break. If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?

This is the type of announcement you’d expect to hear on April 1st. 🤔

Yup. I’m either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.

For now, I’m holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.

you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden.

Well, I’d prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.

I dont know if any specific model will be the right answer, but Qualcomm has their Snapdragon event going on right now, and many of the advancements they are touting are specifically for local AI processing.

So, computing power will improve significantly over the next few years, with AI being the largest benefactor.

These are the tips that the Kleenex company doesn’t want you to know! LOL

If you feel a sneeze coming on, pinch the soft tissue at the bridge of your nose. For me, this stops a sneeze 99% of the time.

Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there’s a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.

I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I’m not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it’s one of the easy ones!

They will choose to stop if it doesn’t make them money. 😀

But yes, not allowing them to do this in the first place would be a very reasonable thing to fight for.

Floccus is actually just a sync tool, it can also sync with Linkwarden in the latest version.

No way! I just uninstalled Linkwarden because it wasn’t working well on too many websites (i.e. it would capture cookie popups or “choose your country” rather than the page I wanted).

Glad to see some cool updates and integration, though.

Everyone should enter these stores dressed up like it’s Payday (the video game) until they stop with this facial recognition nonsense.

Wow. That’s cool.
