• The notes field in iOS keychain items and the comments field in macOS keychain items are not the same thing

  Not sure of your technical chops... But I use passwordstore.org between all my devices (iOS/MacOS/Linux) that is PGP backed, and I sync them via a bare git repo I host. Does TOTP, text, password generation, etc... Source: about 1 year ago

• LastPass Shouldn't Be Trusted With Your Passwords

  If you're in a technical role you should be using https://passwordstore.org. Source: about 1 year ago

• What should I install on my extra laptop?

  You could host your home server for: VPN, passwordstore.org (how?), git, cloud, probably more. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ok, I may have gone on a little rant the other day but someone suggested I ask for help... So I'm asking for help.

  And if you'd like to store the token encrypted in password store, there's a helper for that: pass git helper. Source: about 1 year ago

• How to prevent 2FA + pw vault deadlock lock-out

  My password manager is secured using GPG. It's encrypted with two keys, one of which lives on my Yubikey (to access my passwords on my phone) and the other of which is on my desktop (as a backup). Presumably, the only way I'd get locked out is if my Yubikey is lost/stolen/broken and my desktop stops working and my local backups aren't working. In other words, not very likely at all.

• Show HN: I built a website to share files and messages without any server

  I've got another one on topic of self-hosted file sharing: - FileBrowser running in Docker (https://filebrowser.org/features) - Syncthing running in another container (https://syncthing.net/) Syncthing keeps the files on your PC, Mac, BSD systems updated, and FileBrowser can point to the share and supply a convenient web UI. It works for me, it's kind of like a local Dropbox-lite. - Source: Hacker News / about 8 hours ago

• Ask HN: Online File Repository System?

  Depending on what you're looking for, this is the kind of thing that P2P protocols were made for. Check out https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Ask HN: Best useful tools that are helpful in your business?

  We use syncthing to share files between our machines. It avoids is having to use dropbox / OneDrive etc. You just choose a folder and it automatically syncs it in the background. https://syncthing.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 25 days ago

• LocalSend: Open-source, cross-platform file sharing to nearby devices

  This very hn entries is bust contradicting your statement. Also what about syncthing[1] (for recurrent/permanent sync) and croc[2] (for one time copies) ? I have used both for a number of years already. [1] https://syncthing.net/ [2] https://github.com/schollz/croc. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: How best to sync a subset of my files with a friend?

  I would use syncthing, which is open source at https://syncthing.net/. After minimal setup, it just works(tm). You have a normal directory in your filesystem, that is synced to the other peers (which you set up in the "minimal setup"). I have been using it for years, and it works well. It has no problems crossing os'es (i.e. Windows -> linux, linux -> mac) For windows I usually recommend - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
