Alright, y'all were right, fuck Proton. This was the last straw for me. (lemmy.ml)

For context, in my password manager I had tried formatting some of my entrees so that it would contain the usual username and password, but instead of creating whole new entrees for the security questions for the same account, I just added additional fields in the same entree in order to keep things a little more tidy.

I was not expecting that doing so would result in later being shaken down by Proton to pay even more money just to access the same few bytes of fucking text I had trusted them with. This is sleazy as fuck and I am dropping these idiots entirely.

I think their prices have increased, but it's still a good deal

1password if you want to give money to Canucks.

1password is decent nowadays I think, but for a long time it was apple-only nonsense, it's proprietary and the web interface/app interface used to be confusingly different from one another.

Apparently the price increase happened yesterday; I hadn't heard anything about it until just now. Gave me the push I needed to switch to self-hosted vaultwarden in like 15 minutes. Very pleased with how simple the docker compose and export->import were. I'll note that I'm running it privately on my local network, which I'm assuming should work fine as my devices enter that network semi-frequently and should keep everything synced up(?).

If you want a nice way to elevate the usability of your setup use Tailscale (or self-host Headscale) and run your devices on a VPN.

My devices are never not on my "LAN", they maintain a VPN connection and access my local services as if they're wired in. Remote pihole, multimedia streaming, password management etc are all covered by this one solution without needing to deal with reverse proxies and certificates.

Yeah, it'll work fine. It syncs occasionally but you can also force a sync. Just make sure you backup somewhere (with an encrypted backup you can do it anywhere, even Google drive without privacy issues) incase of fire or wtv. If you'd like online access you could also setup wireguard with a route to it.
