SimpleLogin.io is a great disposable email service I’ve been using for years.

I have no association with the company besides being a happy customer.

People arguing against parent are Property Thieves. see 5th amendment which requires "private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation".

It's your property. Do what you want with it. In a free society, the public isn't compelled to buy your books.

Why? The Beatles really wrote and performed Strawberry Fields.

Why are you entitled to it for gratis? It’s a taking for public benefit.

Ancient writings like Plato or Marcus Aurelius somehow feel different. But high-fidelity live recording feels like it shouldn’t go into the public domain. It’s someone’s commercial work product

I like Elestio for managing devops of self-hosting. I don't want to do backups, monitor and fork git repositories for updates, etc. It's non-trivial. My time is scarce.

However, I'm extremely reluctant to give my password database hosting to ANYONE. I feel like this is something I need to "own" myself. Perhaps on Coolify, Dokploy, or on a Raspberry Pi with regular backups hosted at my home or office. This is extra work that I'm not eager to do; and frankly, it goes against my philosophy of outsourcing "commodity" work to which I'm ill-equipped to add substantial value.

On the other hand, password managers are the most sensitive software I can imagine.

Lastly, Sharing passwords with my wife, coworkers, etc is genuinely very valuable. Either of us can update, maintain etc our shared set of passwords. Last I looked, Keepass and its ilk cannot replace that functionality

Mine shuts off because of conditions regularly. It's very annoying.

FSD is a better driver than me 99% of the time.

You sound like a great parent doing right by your daughter. She's lucky to have you.

The point of school is to learn to think + learn to face adversity & failure....
