  • I miss the layout of my neighbourhood from when I was 5-10 years old.

    I lived in one of the middle units of a 10 unit townhouse. Each had a ~30’x30’ fenced in backyard that opened up to a large field and playground. The u-shaped roads that flanked this field and the houses along them left a large cross shaped grassy alley on either side of the field.

    I’m not sure that description does it justice, but this setup created a huge amount of grassy space for the surrounding neighbourhood kids to run around in, while keeping them somewhat contained. There were only 3 entrances/exits to this neighbourhood that were pretty well supervised by parents, so the kids were able to roam a pretty big area without anyone having to worry. Something I’ve come to appreciate more with age.

    It also meant a TON of snow to build and play with in the winter, without playing in the road :D 🇨🇦







  • Fair point.

    The self-hosting part was mostly about total control over my own systems and less about the paid features. It’s very much not necessary.

    As far as pro features go, It was the TOTP authenticator integration that was kind of important to me. ~20% of my accounts have TOTP 2fa, and bitwardens clients will automatically copy the latest 2fa code into the clipboard when filling a password.

    Bitwarden will even tell you if a saved account could have 2fa (the service offers it), but it’s not setup/saved in bitwarden atm.


  • I currently have 110 unique user+password combos. I wouldn’t want to change all those even once, if I were breached and had used similar credentials everywhere.

    Bitwarden keeps them well managed, synced between devices, and allows me to check the whole database for matches/breaches via haveibeenpwned integration. Plus because I prefer to keep things in-house as much as possible, I even self-host the server with vaultwarden walled off behind my own vpn, instead of using the public servers. (this also means it’s free, instead of a paid service)
