Yep, that's the one. We use KeePassDX on mobile and KeePassXC on the desktop.

My wife and I share a KeePass database for all of our credentials, including the keys to our digital kingdom. I document our LAN design, server setup, and general maintenance notes, which are synced between all of our devices via SyncThing.

I add notes and quick instructions to the important credentials, like "See Proxmox.md to start this service", or "This password decrypts our file server drive...to do this, open a terminal and paste the following..."

She is comfortable pasting commands into a terminal already, so if anything ever happens to me I am confident she or my son will at least be able to access our data and move it to a more user-friendly format.

Edit: Had way too many words lol

Nice! A big thanks to the dev team that keeps this project going. Can't wait to see what finds its way into K9 (and the rebrand!).

I believe Noto is a much more robust typeface, with several more language options than Cantarell. Still, I do prefer Inter to both of those.

Stealth works as well.

Almost any basic web host will allow you to create unlimited email addresses and/or aliases for your domain. Most will offer this service with even their cheapest "shared hosting" plans. And if all of the aliases are going to same person, just enable the catch-all mailbox. Why bother with an email-only service at that point?

Windows 2000 was my primary desktop at the time, though I continued to use Windows XP, 7 and 10 both at work and home for various reasons. I still think Windows 2000 was peak Microsoft. Classic shell, minimal app spam, solid gaming performance, etc.

24/7 here with a NUC 8i5 in a fanless case; all SSD. I use a simple UPS (APC 600VA) to protect the server, modem, router, and main network switch, and it survives outages up to about 30 mins.

Haha, well I'm glad it worked out in the end. Canspace has been a solid, set-and-forget service for my domains...hopefully you'll find the same!

When I did dual-boot, I almost always used a dedicated partition or drive for shared media. Back then, it was usually formatted as FAT32, but sometimes NTFS. These days, I'd probably make it exFAT, since it supports large files without the hassle of permissions, and is itself supported by both Windows and Linux.

As for organizing things, I treated the drive as if it were a file server (which is what I use now). The general hierarchy looks like this:

Backups
Books
Documents
Downloads
Games
Images
Music
Notes
Photos
Software 
Videos
Webdev

And I would argue that all data should be encrypted now, even the working copy. If you have data that's worth backing up, you probably don't want it in the hands of criminals or weirdos either.

It's better than no backup at all, but ideally it shouldn't be your only backup. Still, having any backup puts you ahead of the vast majority of computer users. If the data is truly of value to you, consider also keeping a second backup within your custody and away from your home.

I rotate two encrypted hard drives between work and home, performing a backup monthly and taking the newest backup to work before bringing home the previous.
