I don’t self host and pay Bitwarden €12 per year

So your backup strategy is praying that Bitwarden never loses your data? That's your superior solution? LOOOOOOL

Let explain the point for you: the way Bitwarden works is that you have your full vault saved offline on every device where you've logged in. It's not just showing you what's currently on the server, it all works even if the server goes offline.

Now, obviously you still need backups, but that's valid for any kind of storage on the planet. If all the places where you've stored your data burns, there's no recovery. Unless you have a magical solution, I don't see how Bitwarden is "worse" than any other alternative. Would you like to explain what's your current strategy?

If you don't do off-site backups there's no recovery from your house burning down. Which self hosted alternative will survive without backups from all your devices burning? You are completely missing the point.

The point: .

You are missing the point; the original comment was about not having the keys to restore the (I assume) encrypted backups. With Bitwarden you can still access the vault even if the server is offline/lost. It's not a replacement for a backup strategy.

The nice thing about Bitwarden is that all vaults are locally saved on every device where you access it. So even if your NAS, server and whole house burn in fire you still have all the keys on your phone.

 

After 3 years in the making I'm excited to announce the launch of Games on Whales, an innovative open-source project that revolutionizes virtual desktops and gaming. Our mission is to enable multiple users to stream different content from a single machine, with full HW acceleration and low latency.

With Games on Whales, you can:

  • Multi-user: Share a single remote host hardware with friends or colleagues, each streaming their own content (gaming, productivity, or anything else!)
  • Headless: Create virtual desktops on demand, with automatic resolution and FPS matching, without the need for a monitor or dummy plug
  • Advanced Input Support: Enjoy seamless control with mouse, keyboard, and joypads, including Gyro and Acceleration support (a first in Linux!)
  • Low latency: Uses the Moonlight protocol to stream content to a wide variety of supported clients.
  • Linux and Docker First: Our curated Docker images include popular applications like Steam, Firefox, Lutris, Retroarch, and more!
  • Fully Open Source: MIT licensed, and we welcome contributions from the community.

Interested in how this works under the hood? You can read more about it in our developer guide or deep dive into the code.

 

I've turned a couple of old desktop computers into my homelab. They are currently "stacked" on top of each other with a Raspy, router and switch on top and a UPS on the side.

To my eye this looks "pretty enough" but it doesn't score high on the Wife Approval Rating and I would really like to turn it into a "pretty" little rack. Hence, the question: how to do it? Which parts should I get?
I'm mainly having a hard time finding some kind of "rack case" so that I can insert my desktop HW into it; should I buy a server and strip it out?

Just a few more info:

  • My homelab is extremely silent (since it sits close to my desk) and I would very much like to keep it this way. I absolutely don't want server fans screaming at me all the time.
  • It would be cool to have a "NAS like" enclosure for the NAS drives that currently sit inside a normal desktop case.
  • I'm UK based, I know in the US might be easier to get all this stuff, but any tip or help is highly appreciated anyway.
