    Passkeys and 1FA were always just a duct tape solution for users resuing basic passwords without having to set a stronger password requirement or relying on users to use a strong password.

    I think Chrome and Firefox should have decided on making an API for their builtin password generation and filling functions, that way any password manager would be able to integrate with foolproof functionality out of box.

    People already use browser auto gen passwords for the reason that its faster and usually has an account sync built in. Now it would work with any 3rd party solution as well which covers enterprise and security minded users as well.

    Users won’t use a password manager if it means you have to manually make an entry everytime you make an account.





  • I don’t want to run a separate database or anything complex, so things like Immich or Photoprism are not an option.

    Why not just use podman and let it handle itself? Unless you’re planning on hosting like maybe several million photos, I doubt you would ever need to manually set up a DB.

    Just download the compose file, add your photo directory paths to it, and let it start and never think about it again until you feel like updating for some new feature months later.










  • If its internal network traffic only, you can just use stalwart and add the DNS records to your network so that stuff can use SMTP.

    Otherwise, (also with stalwart or your preferred software), you will want to use an SMTP relay so that outgoing messages will be delivered without the hassle of getting your domain reputational enough for sent messages not getting junked by the big email providers.

    I’m extra lazy and haven’t set this up, so I just have a public mail server that only receives messages because my outgoing SMTP port is blocked by my ISP.
