Everything freaks out, unfortunately. I would work on a better solution, but I'm not particularly inconvenienced by this issue.

Isn't a bit naive to think that your solution, which has obvious flaws is one-size-fits-all?

I use cloud storage (e.g.) have access to my password file between my computers and my mobile devices. NFS shares on ~/share that only work on the local network don't really solve this issue.

  • Did I say it was a one-size-fits-all, or that it was flawless? I also suggested OwnCloud before describing my own setup. All of your software choices come with tradeoffs.

    For my passwords I use pass and store them in a private git repo on a server I trust. http://password-store.org

    • Yes, you implied that you know better when you critiqued the author's choice to reach for iCloud and suggested your self-hosted 'alternatives' instead as better. Except the one you prefer is not an alternative. It's not even playing the same game.

      Some people are willing to spend their finite life building personal infrastructure and the rest pay others to do it. You conflate the two at your peril. The best decision I've ever made was to stop running all of my own stuff -- you get literal days back in your life. Days.
