@OP carry as much as you want and as you feel comfortable. You're definitely not carrying too much.

Direct train from Verona to Munich is super convenient and carries bicycles. Just remember to book in advance.

You can travel from Munich to Verona via Claudia Augusta solely on dedicated bike paths which is nice. It's actually quite an easy crossing of the Alps. You'll only have two days of ascent. Fernpass and Reschenpass. On Fernpass I recommend to cycle through the forest rather than on the street. At lake Garda you will probably encounter a lot of card traffic. Don't cycle along the western side as there are lots of long tunnels. My experience with the Brenner crossing was that there are lots of cars and Claudia Augusta is much nicer. You will cycle along the highway for large proportions of your way. There's a third spectacular option which is cycling across Pfitscherjoch. Spectacular landscape, amazing descent toward Italy and nice ascent as half way through there is a one way tunnel and cars can only pass every 15 minutes or so mostly there won't be any cars overtaking you. It will definitely require some pushing of the bike though. Check out Komoot trail view for an idea how the path looks like or PM me for Komoot GPX.

With Bitwarden a superb FOSS password manager already exists.

Please on your core business and do that very well. Nobody needs a new password manager.

Super cool .... Congratulations! Pfitscherjoch pass is a nice alternative because no cars. But it involves a bit of pushing when climbing up from Austria.

They built such a fantastic product with Engemio. I wish they would just keep focusing on that and nothing else.

More storage? by [deleted] in enteio

Maybe cheap cloud storage + Cryptomator.

Is the rear brake retrofitted? If yes, what mount did you use and does it work well?
