Just quietly reading

Last night we had a nine-hour power outage. While my laptop had power, I ended up spending more of the evening reading on my e-reader. It was nice. I am so often distracted by a device. Even as I write this, I have an audiobook playing on my phone.

The thing they are saying about rotting brains and shortening attention span, I definitely feel. So it felt nice to read the book and just focus on it. I need to do that more and push back at the always-on television or audio on my phone.

Passbolted

As noted yesterday, the signs all point to an impending sale of Bitwarden and ahead of that I decided to go ahead and move to Passbolt's selfhosted solution. I could have stayed on Bitwarden and simply shifted it to be selfhosted, but then I wouldn't necessarily even trust their mobile app and browser extension.

So, I went ahead and stood Passbolt up on my homelab server. The biggest issue I faced was getting the mobile app set up. It kept erroring for me, and it was because of the need for me to manually install the server certificate on my phone. So, not the most user friendly, but that's necessary for security.

The export from Bitwarden worked flawless with no extra work. I just output the csv from Bitwarden and it imported perfectly into Passbolt.

We will see how it works over the next week. My Bitwarden is set up still, in case I run into issues.
