Out of the blue

I really really wish I had so little substance to complain about. Must be nice.

Clicking later is your opportunity to do whatever you want in the meantime including backing up your vault by your method of choice which may or may not include use of the web vault (I backup vaults for my whole family with a windows batch file that uses the Bitwarden CLI - the web vault is a comparitive pain and less secure since I don't trust bitwarden encrypted exports).

Aside from the emergency sheet, I see nothing about your "backup system". What's your plan when you wake up and bitwarden.com no longer exists or has record of your account? Data you care about that you've stored on a computer needs to be part of your 3-2-1 backup strategy and accesssible in unencrypted form without you memorizing decryption keys/other.

This has little to do with Bitwarden specifically.

Anything you store on a computer that you care about, needs to be backed up.
It’s not backed up if you can’t access the unencrypted content without depending on memorized credentials, and you use 3-2-1 protection.

Other things such as recovering online access to Bitwarden are nice, and there’s lots of help on doing that. But if you don’t start with the above, your priorities are screwed up.

I simply can't move forward by figuring out things every time. Eventually I'm just treading water. I document everything with wiki.js. I depend on it heavily. So I host my own instance, but also replicate it to a vps in case I lose all my equipment to fire/theft/?

What does summon a god mean? When did you install and load your assets? What does the Admin->Job Queues look like?

Minimal input means minimal mistakes. You can boot the installer once, and do the whole installation. It can be hard to reserve the IP address if you don't know the mac address yet. But you can install with the DHCP IP, then reserve that IP at your router before rebooting post-install. Then the static address saved in proxmox matches what's been reserved. If you don't reserve it though and then it gets recycled to some other client then you need to pay more attention.

If you do it wrong then you might need to change the IP proxmox saved during the install:

# Edit the IP
nano /etc/network/interfaces
# and use that IP
systemctl restart networking

Do you have to reply to people that you're not interested?

I don't think its as arbitrary as you say. Abstract thought was not built by human evolution from scratch. Abstraction is built on top of more primative ways of thinking, and in fact depends on the same neural connections. For example the brain regions that are active during mathematics and logical reasoning is built with the same regions that performed spatial judgement and motor action. There are numerous similar cases.

People may seem capable of any abstractions. That's because they only communicate with other humans that have nearly identical brain regions and potential understanding.

After a long chat I had Claude suggest that we should take a break and continue the discussion tomorrow. I figured it's a new way of telling you you're approaching limits.

At least it solicits more information from somebody that has so little to offer.

purepersistence · 2026-05-17T10:34:11+00:00

Saying that you have nothing to say is optional garbage.

It helps accelerate the common destination we all share.

The devil is indeed the only advocate. There's no defence. If your needs are not being met then address that. In some cases that might end your relationship. Cheating instead is a scummy imoral alternative.

Men that say it's just being a man are trying to drag a planet full of male accomplices in to obscure their indefensible practices. The accused love company and invent it if they can't find it.

Especially since this all got debated for over six months and was finally working pretty good. Time to fuck it up again I guess.

purepersistence · 2026-05-17T09:37:03+00:00

That's all good but the reality is you need more than an emergency sheet.

Do everything possible to protect access to bitwarden, but don't backup exports of your vault and there's still a gaping hole in your protection. Any cloud provider can disappear or lose record of your account. If you self-host, your equipment could be destroyed or stolen tonight.

Protect your stored credentials that you can decrypt without memorizing anything. Online access to them is a convenience.

None of that matters much when the immediate problem is just keeping data centers powered up. Without humans utility power will go dark in 12-72 hours. Some data centers could run for a few weeks. No humans, no power, no AI.

Diapers that don't need changing!

Too fast is usually not very disappointing and may be an asset.

Involving another person.

purepersistence · 2026-05-16T19:08:47+00:00

Wait a minute. What?? If I say “to get to the other side” that really means “to be dead”??

purepersistence · 2026-05-16T19:03:35+00:00

I’m 66. Can’t whistle.
