Oh, so we’re playin Inception at a whole world scale. Nice.

Doesn’t play in the jerboa, but I love it regardless.

Not so much about testing, but one time I really needed to get to my backups I lost password to the repository (I’m using restic). Luckily a copy of it was stored in bitwarden, but until I remembered it, were perhaps one of the worst moments.

Needless to say, please test backups and store secrets in more then one place.

It’s the first time I hear about resticprofile and it looks nice. So far I’ve been using crestic for configuration files. Do you know how they compare?

Yes that works. I think it’s even more reliable then chrome, which just prompts you to restore tabs rather then just doing it.

I daily drive a custom ROM with (sandboxed) gapps (currently crdroid, but also spark os, cherish os, voltage and others). I also have a tablet (old galaxy tab A) running lineage without gapps, which I use for reading ebooks.

I can’t imagine returning to stock roms. The inconsistencies, various hacks, apps not respecting your settings and privacy invading software. What a nightmare!

In the 3.x era, fully replacing the windows shell was easy and there were lots of options.

That’s such a good occasion to share a video I found recently, here: https://youtu.be/iD7AezjG5YE

Sort of. Already mentioned classicshell allows for some customisation. Things like FancyWM introduce window tiling to the os, but none of it is comparable to what android launchers can do.

Also an obligatory linux mention. If you do not depend on certain, windows only, applications, Linux provides much more customisation. Different desktop environments can be though as something analogous to android launchers.

Exactly. In a “this is for the future” way.

I was thinking about it, but unless you get your password manager compromised one-time passwords still offer additional protection (in case only the password is leaked in a security breach).

I will try self hosting regardless, but for now I might omit TOTP and stick with Aegis.

Currently I use Bitwarden on both my phone and my pc, but I’m looking into self hosting it with vaultwarden. This gives you access to premium features (such as TOTP support, for which I currently use Aegis Authenticator). It also gives you full control over your data.
