Yeah, it was dumb. I should have thought about it long before what occured, but I didn’t. But, in the end, I definitely learned my lesson.

That’s the only thing that I do have taken care of! I basically immediately grabbed them out of Chrome and put them in KeePassXC on my PCs and KeePassDX for my Android.

Baby steps!

I was unaware that those Community Helper Scripts existed! They should definitely be helpful at some point down the road!

In my neighborhood, there are several of these “little free libraries” in people’s yards. I’ve always thought that it was a very cool idea!

Yeah. I guess that is true. The part about not being able to point me in the right direction. I have a shaky grasp of several network protocols and things of that nature. Nothing deeper than surface level at this point.

Thank you for the advice! After I get a firm grasp of the concepts at hand, I will look into NextCloud and Immich.

I’m not very familiar at all with Linux. I have used a few distros here and there where the majority of the work is done in a GUI. The CLI intimidates me, hahaha. I began exploring distros through WSL a little while back. I still haven’t “dove in” yet though.

As far as the networking terms that you used, I have at least a slight grasp on all of that and what the different network “components” do, but I do not yet know how to implement or configure most of the things that you mentioned.

I will certainly look into that. I’ve never heard of YUNOhost but I’m going to give it a look soon!

It’s a great idea to run it in a VM first, because I’m bound to make mistakes along the way. Awesome advice! I’m definitely going to be referencing your comment throughout the process! Saved!

Several detailed, easy to understand and very good pieces of advice! Thank you! I have definitely saved your comment for referencing throughout this process!

In the time since this happened, I have set up KeePassXC on all of my PCs as well as KeePassDX on my phone, and taken all of my passwords 100% out of Chrome.

I’ll absolutely look into SyncThing! I’ve heard of it many times, I just haven’t used it myself yet.

Thanks for the info!

That’s a great idea. I’ve had a safety deposit box for years. I can just store it in there!

Thanks, I will certainly look into this after I get some sort of basic understanding of the concepts at play.

That is exactly my plan, to have this set as a long term goal with several incremental micro-goals, as opposed to attempting to do it all in a weekend. I figure making it a long term thing gives me much more of a chance to actually learn what it is that I am doing. Plus, at my level (no real networking knowledge to speak of) trying to do this in a weekend sounds like a nightmare, lol.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I will definitely begin studying the document tomorrow!

Thank you! I will begin to look over it tomorrow!
