@Linux @Tutanota My password manager lives in a file on my computers.
Yes, password managers are important, and so is digital sovereignty — especially in these troubling times. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a password manager that operates outside the jurisdictions of the United States, Russia, and China

@Linux @Tutanota Ah, see I take a different POV. If it's here, I can physically destroy it, or issue commands to delete it. It's also encrypted. I can also take what I need with me should I need to throw a computer in the car and flee.
So why don't I self-host?
I want everything of mine outside U.S. jurisdiction, and the big problem is, I'm in the United States. If it were saved on my computer, it would be in the United States — linked to me, associated with me, right here for the taking.
I am the weakest link.
But on a remote server, with an anonymous screen name and anonymous (fake) details, associated with other random bits from all over the world (email in a different place, VPN in a different place, etc.) — I simply, generally, should not be worth the trouble.
But if Nazis start to kick in my door, I want them to find — nothing. No hard drive with data. No saved files on some extra USB lying around. Nothing. Only a USB that I used to boot up an ISO into RAM.
Is this absolutely foolproof?
I don't think anything is. But self-hosting something locally just means it's all here — and here is where I don't want my data.
