  • Password Pusher is no password manager, only for securely sharing information.

    Running on Vaultwarden, though that still depends on the official BitWarden Clients. Works great though, and can be selfhosted on pretty small machines. Very satisfied with it.

    Passbolt was not on my radar when I was in the market for a new password manager, but would be a serious consideration today.

    If considering a self hosted alternative, remember that backups are your responsibility then as well.


  • If there is a store near that has Macs on display, go check them out and try your most used workflows as best as you can. Even a used M1 Mac will run the newest macOS so that should be a good initial impression.

    Day to day tasks are no problem for any modern OS. Internet, Mail and the like. Look for the not so daily tasks to get a feel of the system and if it can do it a way you can arrange to.

    Interoperability between devices is best within the ecosystem, but applications like local send work cross platform and can replace something like Airdrop between Apple devices pretty well. If you have your documents and data on a self hosted system or something like Dropbox as well.

    I personally use both on my notebooks, and I always liked the Macs for pretty much just working. When having to troubleshoot and support windows machines at work all day, that is a big plus.



  • One of my two machines crashed a lot until I moved two Containers to my local server. They are quite small in regards to RAM and at their limit quite fast. Maybe check that.

    Also I read somewhere that you could enter credit card details and this kinda upgrades your account in their system though you still do not pay. Something to do with throttling free machines in favor of paid customers.

    Oracle has an always free tier which provides two x64 AMD based virtual machines. They are more or less cloud based calculators in terms of performance, but out of experience I can tell you it is more than sufficient for a few docker containers.

    European locations are available.



  • Little Snitch is a application based firewall for outgoing connections. It is not mainly an Adblock of any sorts. It may be used that way with filter lists, but that is in no way it’s primary goal or purpose.

    My main point was that you don’t have to use it for blocking the other traffic, because Linux systems won’t have unwanted traffic to begin with, since you have full control over it.

    That is kinda naive, and absolutely depending on what software you install and use. Thinking „there can be no unwanted traffic on my system, as I use Linux and am in full control“ means you either have VERY high faith no application on Linux calls home ever, or vastly overconfidence in yourself and your system. If there was absolutely no use in applications like little snitch, things like OpenSnitch or Portmaster would not exist for Linux either.



  • That PUBG fails, is clear. You just won’t have a good time with anti cheat based games like PUBG, Fortnite and the like.

    Wanna play those? Stay on Windows or get a console. Just how it still is.

    And problems with capture cards I would not book in the „normie“ camp, which on a basic level is the goal of this video series.
