Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

IMO I don't see why you get a second human involved. Store the database in an encrypted form... save a copy to some cloud service. Why count on another human for it
In case my house burns down. I guess a USB in the car would be good.
What's your solution to this problem for the rest of your digital life?
This! OP is asking the right questions, but making a copy of your passwords does not cut it. Find a place to backup ALL your important data (that will be accessible when the house burns down).
Cloud backups.
Would a hurricane destroy both your house and car in one event?
Darn! I'm North of Seattle. No hurricanes here, just slow annoying rain. Think of rain, but then imagine it only stops a couple of days of the week. Keep imagining rain, remove the Forest and the frogs and the birds. I would add rabbit squirrel, coyote, and the occasional bear or reindeer... All of them making wet sounds. Moss and algae and mycelium covering everything. Then imagine a shower with a misting effect but for every million droplets remove all but 1 droplet. That's our rain. Everything is fucking wet all the time but just not enough to wash things clean or sometimes even to keep trees happy. Imagine having to water your plants because the daily rain wasn't wet enough. You know when you have a sink full of dishes so you fill it with water, but then you get a call about a relative in the hospital so you leave for a month and comeback to the dishes but now all of them have these water evaporation and dry sludge lines? Yup that's outside. I feel for the homeless here.

OMG, I love that description. I lived just outside Seattle as a kid before moving to the North East. Trying to explain to folks here that it may rain constantly out there but that you get less rain all year than the NE gets in the spring alone usually leaves me exhausted and the listener annoyed.
I need to bookmark this.
Thanks. That was my morning rant because it was sort of raining.
I'd refer you to one of the latest episodes of the privacy, security and osint show, but I don't remember the number. So, basically, Michaels solution to that is to get an SD card, place it into a hollow coin and hide it in one of his friend's house, so that he can later ask 'em to retrieve it 🤣
