Vaultwarden. And take regular back ups. I don’t trust my passwords to be safe anywhere other than my own servers. The chances of my server being hacked is very less.

Yes it think it is.

I have a nextdns set up. And I see dark reader phoning home regularly.

Did you check whether the new IP assigned are any different. Once it happened that my old ISP had ip range 192.168.0.x. but the new ISP had ip range of 192.168.1.x

This made my machine not accessible.

Yeah. I don’t think you can. But I really like this feature from Google search. I currently run my own instance of Whoogle. Neither does whoogle have a good way to show these widgets

Yes I leave it on. And that’s by choice.

Yeah it’s a privacy issue. But I want firefox to get better. And data to the devs is what helps.

Yeah. But it’s too damn risky to buy the non-popular ones. Especially in my region…

You are not alone my friend.

I would never say no to using older hardware. Yeah, it’ll be like punishing yourself. But you learn a shit ton.

I recently started self hosting. I started on a PC with the same specs as you’ve said. Booting was an issue. And tons of stuff always broke. But i learnt a lot. And then there was a time, when i genuinely thought i could do better and switched an old laptop with decent specs.

Pi’s are very expensive and too dang low on supply.

So always make do with what you have. If it’s your first home lab, then yeah go ahead. In a few months switch
