Were not enough boomers taking them up in reverse mortgages?

Because that's where all my "generational" wealth went. "We can't take it with us Jimmy" though we did, in fact, take it from those who came before.

But it isn't Op's point. He is "losing him" but had not "lost" him.

Not sure what else it's going to take

Of course they were. Have you ever used a chainsaw? They will take every opportunity to get that son of a bitch out.

They didn't just get fired.

They were black listed from ALL federal government positions. That includes being an Air Traffic Controller. Now Bill Clinton eventually lifted the ban but that took 12 years and even then - very very few were hired back.

If you really want to self host but you aren't interested in a lot of dirty work then you can get a Synology and use Synology photos, right next to Synology drive ( Google Drive substitute) and everything else substitute.

It "just works" and it handles all of the updates/security for me. Even includes secure enough access via quickconnect so I can connect over the Internet.

That said it costs more than diy, and I have hardware limits. I can't just get 2 more drives and hook them up. I have a 2 bay Synology so I would need a whole new unit to get 2 more bays. It's better for me to just buy bigger drives.

Software wise - if it isn't in the Anyone App Store then you can just use docker so it covers everything.

But as someone who is already busy enough with a full time tech job and 2 kids. This solution works for me

password managers have relatively low adoption and plenty of people are walking around with poorly managed credentials

All of the modern browsers have built in password managers so I doubt that very much.

Are they as secure as your self-hosted bit warden that is not accessible via the Internet? No.

But it does still keep track of your usernames and even alerts you if you have a breach.

Because we all know it will eventually go from a "neat" to mandatory with vendor lock-in for no other reason than "fuck you".

We've all seen it a few hundred times now with X, and Y.

I get a few daily pop-ups for "Want to use a pass key". One from my bank. No I don't want to link my fingerprint to my bank account especially in a way that will lock me out when I replace my phone.

Remember folks: Biometrics (What you are) is not constitutionally protected but what you know is (for now at least).
