  • You don’t host anything with KeePass, it’s an application that you install. People use this type of software literally every single day. I’m not sure where you get your information from. There was no “leak”, it was an attack that someone could execute if they had access to your physical machine and only used a master password without a keyfile. If someone didn’t have that, they don’t have your master password, because it doesn’t go to the cloud at all. It’s all entirely local. Stop handing out misinformation like candy.

    edit: the actual CVE: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-32784

    Vulnerabilities happen, end of story. Like I said, what matters is the maintainers’ reaction and how open they are about the details. If you rely on other people/developers to handle your OpSec for you, then you shouldn’t be using computers at all and are putting yourself at risk no matter what software you use.

    And if this is your litmus test, then holy shit do I have some bad news for you about iOS/Android/Linux/Windows/macOS/literally any web browser… and I guarantee that whatever you use now for your password manager has it’s own share of issues regarding security, which again points back to taking care of your own OpSec instead of relying on others.

    Expect shit to hit the fan, and you’ll always be prepared when it does.




  • SyncThing + KeePass, I’ve been using this setup for a long time. Requires setup and isn’t automagically done for you, but you control everything about it + it’s decentralized and local. I unfortunately don’t have any good guides off-hand, but I can try to give some pointers if you’re interested to know more about it.

    On Linux, the only downside is you can’t use the auto-type feature in Wayland, but there are browser plugins to make it less of an issue.

    Alternatively, if you are a self-hoster, you can still use the BitWarden local clients with an open source backend server that you control: https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden














  • I know it’s weird to think about, but you can buy them online, too. Just make absolutely sure you are home when they’re delivered! I think mantis may help with aphids, if you can find any of them hanging around (probably not).

    I would suggest Neem Oil, then. You dilute it in water, and apply in the twilight hours. It eats away at the exoskeletons of the aphids, but it can also eat away at good insect exoskeletons, too. This is why you need to apply only once a day at a particular time, when the good insects are not active. You could just go crazy and kill everything for a fresh start, too. Aphids and Mites will lay dormant and keep coming back, especially in enclosed greenhouse spaces with lots of protection from the elements and outside bugs.
