@mhoye let's pretend we've solved the backfeed problems of voltage sags/swells, phase sync issues, and the extreme danger to the linemen who cannot be certain if a line will remain de-energized while they're working on it
If a significant amount of people do this and are essentially operating independently from the grid operator, who is paying for the maintenance of the grid now? These people aren't paying for electricity anymore. So who funds it?
If the answer is "nationalize it and have the government cover the costs of everything" the game is over, this isn't gonna happen in America
@coolboymew@mitchconner Some of us are not allergic to phones and use them all the time, even to make new accounts. We also do not live in our parents basements with a stained mattress and a computer desk from 1997.
We even have wives that we need to keep lots of important accounts in sync with, especially because these dickheads force password changes all the time. And they need to be able to access these accounts from anywhere on the planet at any time in case something happens to us.
Also some of us do not desire to bring an entire desktop/laptop computer on trips. We want to get away from computers and touch grass for a while but also not get stranded thousands of miles away because a bank account or credit card is locked and we can't get the passwords and codes we need to convince the support people who we are.
If you live an extremely sheltered, lonely life it is easy to recommend such solutions because you have no responsibilities to anyone or care what happens to them if you die.
@sun@coolboymew A lot of sites over a lot of years. I also refuse to use any SSO shit like "sign in with GitHub" or whatever. Always a dedicated account. Then it never breaks.
@sun@coolboymew so Keepassium looks like a decent implementation it's just missing import but I could do it with another app and then copy over the database file. Has plenty of features, all the iOS / Mac integrations...
I might bite the bullet and spin up an Apache with mod_dav and mod_ldap next week *sigh*
I'd pay for the $70 lifetime license without hesitation
@skylar it's another massive app to manage and update and secure. Or a whole VM. I'll pass. I have the hardware, it's not a problem. It's the principal. The bloat is not worth it
At least 2 computers and a phone, sometimes an iPad. I want it to be always synced all the time
I also want to be able to share specific passwords (banks, utilities, insurance, etc) with my wife which I can do with an Organization in Bitwarden so she always gets the latest passwords.
@sun So you're basically stuck with IIS or Apache for this. Nginx doesn't support all the verbs, Caddy's is unofficial and very new so not sure I'd trust it. Then you have to implement some auth on it.
It feels like a lot of effort vs being able to use any IMAP account anywhere
Keepass sucks because of the syncing problem. All the options suck for different reasons: Dropbox, iCloud, nextcloud/owncloud (way too bulky to self-host), SFTP, WebDAV...
I have a new idea. Why the hell isn't there a Keepass client that uses IMAP as the storage? It's not locked in to anything, it's lightweight, it can sync, you don't need a complicated account password because your encrypted database file will be well secured. All you need is a way to track revisions so you can deal with conflicts and that could potentially be encoded as a custom mail header, right?
