They/them preferred, but I won’t be mad if you forget :). Retired programmer. Many health conditions. If I’m uncharacteristically grumpy, I probably have a migraine.

  • I have a lot of experience with this. I’m allergic to literally all species of grass somehow 😂

    • Avoid triggers. For example, I avoid lawnmowers and freshly mowed lawns. Sometimes that means taking the extra long way around.
    • Be wary of dry and windy days.
    • Carry an asthma inhaler and spacer if relevant.
    • Carry antihistamines ~ they come in nasal spray, eyedropper, and pill form. Choose what’s best for you based on worst symptom.
    • Use a covid-style face mask and eye protection like wraparound sunglasses. This seriously helps a lot.
    • Don’t “tough it out” ~ if you’re suffering, go inside and take time to look after yourself.
    • If it’s severally impacting your life, go see an allergist. They can give you the good shit.







  • Bitwarden has much better enterprise options. KeePass is kind of dinky by comparison; even for a single user you immediately run into the problem “how do I sync my new password to my phone automatically?” Bitwarden was just an app that worked.

    That being said ~ I see the writing on the wall, and will be going back to the dinky option. Again. This isn’t the first time I’ve been burnt, but I never seem to learn. Self-hosting seems to be the only sustainable long-term option after all. Hopefully the migration isn’t too painful.

    I highly recommend anyone reading this get your export out while they still have a good export tool. First thing companies do in enshitification 101 is make it difficult to leave and trap you via inconvenience.
