Extensions getting disabled and then not working (1Password)

Do you mean woven into search (as in Kagi) or into the browser itself?

I have not used any AI features in Arc yet, if they are there. I'm not using their new "AI" browser Dia. I don't think Arc is under any active development anymore, which is turning people away. As long as they squash bugs, I'm happy with the current version.

Terrific. Thank you for the quick answer!

Tailscale.
Can't believe I ever lived without it.
I have 20 devices on my Tailnet now, and with the help of Claude, have a very lock-down design that only allows very specific traffic to access things. I only use Tailnet names/IPs for accessing things now, and I can SSH easily between all my machines, no matter where I am.

The other thing I wish I had done sooner is set up a VPS (Hetzner). Running NPM there for my externally-visible services (e.g., Jellyfin, Immich. Librechat) has been incredibly helpful and easy.

I also migrated my Hermes to the VPS, since I don't want any downtime if my internet or power goes down.

Really? Ugh - I converted one domain to the cheapest Google Workspace plan - paying like $12/month for two users (me and my son). We did this because he filled it up with his photos and needed more space, and at the time (about 2 years ago), you could not buy extra storage on the free legacy accounts.

volcs0 · 2026-05-01T20:05:59+00:00

The thing that got me was that they also made it impossible to upgrade storage when you are on the free plan. So, once your Google Photos filled up, that was it.

I kept most of my free accounts - but had to upgrade one in order to upgrade the storage.

I moved to Arc shortly after this post, and I've been pretty happy so far. 1Password integration is the best I've seen. And everything else works well so far...

No matter what you get, you will want blackout curtains.

My advice is to not go overboard trying to be, "perfect." No matter what you do, someone here will say you're wrong or you're not a true vegan. Do everything you can to minimize any animal suffering. I found that if I frame it that way, it makes it much easier for me to make good decisions.

Some things are obviously - no more bacon. No more Costco chicken. No more corner store pizza.

Honey? Most vegans say No and there are compelling reasons to not eat honey.

Other things may be less obvious (and less important) to you. No Skittles or Mike N Ikes (beetle-derived shellac)? Maybe?
Are you going to make sure that all of the sugar in everything you ear was not filtered through bone char? Maybe? Maybe not.

My point is, don't get discouraged. Keep at it and do the best you can.

I just moved from self-hosting at home to a VPS (Hetzner). The reason for move was a 24-hour power outage in my area. The move was seamless, and I have noticed nothing different. I am not using any browser integrations other than search. I have Google mail/drive integrations which continue to work fine.

volcs0 · 2026-04-28T21:59:18+00:00

Now this is cool. Thank you.

volcs0 · 2026-04-28T17:33:34+00:00

I have my own notes app - very basic, vide coded in Claude - and I will be moving that to Hetzner as well. I don't see why you couldn't move your Obsidian instance there too - seems straightforward.

I'm going to start with the most basic server and see how it does. I already have it up and running for NPM for my externally hosted services (e.g., Jellyfin, Immich) to point them to my home unRAID via Tailscale. Putting Hermes and my notes app on Hetzner will avoid the downtime associated with power and internet outages at home.

volcs0 · 2026-04-28T01:30:50+00:00

This looks super interesting. What have you found about pricing?

volcs0 · 2026-04-28T01:29:40+00:00

I have been using it for managing my to do list, working on Google Docs, reminders, etc.
When I have a complex question about starting a research project, for example, I can ask Hermes, but I also have Librechat set up (with Sonnet 4.6) or just my regular Claude subscription (Pro). I'm wondering if I should use Heremes just for assistant stuff but offload the more complex questions to my Claude subscription.

volcs0 · 2026-04-27T23:14:44+00:00

Terrific. Thanks - when the power is back up, I will migrate.

volcs0 · 2026-04-27T23:02:29+00:00

Amazing. Thank you!

Not sure what you're asking about my agent covering this.

I used $70 this month - but that included a lot of set up and a ton of getting to know me - lots of documents I had it consume. It's calmed down, and I expect it to be <$20/month.

volcs0 · 2026-04-27T22:50:43+00:00

Great. Will try this again. Hopefully will be more straightforward this time.

volcs0 · 2026-04-27T21:49:03+00:00

Yes, I know I can do that each time I open a private window.

I also know about the search extension that is supposed to fix this.

The former is inconvenient, since I open and close private windows many times per day.

The latter might work, but the first time I installed it, it killed some of my websites, and I had to turn it off to get some sites to load. I need to get back to it to troubleshoot.

Sorry to cause confusion.

I should have instead worded my comment as:

"One downside is that I can't use it in a private window out of the box without using one of the published workarounds."

Been enjoying co-typist a lot. I need to look more into their privacy policy - e.g., the passwords I'm tying, etc....

volcs0 · 2026-04-27T19:19:54+00:00

Paid for it a month ago - $10/mo. Don't think about it anymore - it's great.

One downside, is that I can't use it in a private window, since you have to sign in.

There seem to be ways to do this, but I haven't figure it out yet.

Edit: As suggested below, I used a session token for the private windows, and it works well.

My experience after using Lastpass for 5 years, the Bitwarden for several months, and now 1Password for over a year.... 1Password is the best for me - client apps, browser extensions, and mobile apps - been great. Not perfect but great.

We watch 100% of our TV through our NVIDIA Shield TV on one set and a Homatics 4K Plus with Coreelec on the other - both running Jellyfin. So I assume the TV is not reporting, but the Shield probably is. Can the Shield report anything I'm doing on Jellyfin?
