Many people close to me still depend on outdated or insecure techniques for password management, such as jotting them down on paper or relying solely on Google's password manager. That leaves them vulnerable to cyber threats. As someone deeply invested in digital security, I've consciously picked Bitwarden. It's an open-source, self-hosted password management solution. Here's why you should consider trying it out.

Embracing Open Source

I am a big fan of open source, and that's also the primary reason why I gravitated towards Bitwarden. Thanks to this, Bitwarden allows for transparency, enabling anyone to inspect the code for potential vulnerabilities or backdoors. In my opinion, this level of transparency fosters trust and reassurance that my sensitive information remains secure.

Self-Hosted Freedom

Bitwarden's self-hosted option offers freedom and control over my data. I hate paying for subscriptions, so I host loads of software myself. I could blog about that in other posts, so let me know if you are interested.

Cross-Platform Accessibility

One of Bitwarden's most appealing features is its seamless integration across multiple devices. Whether on my laptop, smartphone, or tablet, Bitwarden ensures that my passwords are accessible whenever and wherever I need them. With easy-to-use apps and browser extensions, managing passwords has never been more convenient. Plus, it is so easy, everybody can do it.

Security Without Compromise

Bitwarden prioritizes security without compromising usability. Utilizing end-to-end encryption, Bitwarden ensures that my passwords are securely encrypted before they ever leave my device. This means that even in case of a data breach, my information remains unreadable to unauthorized parties, providing peace of mind in an increasingly interconnected world.

Conclusion

In today's world, there is a need to keep your digital information secure. Selecting the right password manager can make all the difference. Bitwarden offers a compelling solution for those seeking a balance between security, privacy, and convenience. You can stop using outdated methods by embracing open-source principles, self-hosted options, and robust encryptions. It's time to switch to password managers like Bitwarden and safeguard your digital future.

Ghost SL AMR AL 6.7

First time in Saalbach with this bike.

I love Karlov because in winter they are trying to make good snowpark there.

First time here and so far best experience in Czechia.

This is end of this post. It's more show of what I am capable to ride. Ready for some bigger airs in feature.

Setting up deCONZ is not really fun. It's always finding which magic combination will work do pair ZigBee devices to deCONZ. I am using Home Assistant deCONZ Integration I created account for safety.

Pairing

Login to /core_deconz/dashboard in home assistant choose Phoscon-GW. For not paired Ikea lights I will restart them by 6x times turn on and off by physical switch. After that start pairing with button "Add new lights" in deconz app. (set to 3 or 10 mins). In this time you have to run to all lights and pair them to Ikea remote controll. Good luck with that.

When the lights show up with random names in the deconz app. Try to find out which is which and label them. Probably you will not have all of them so repeat the pairing.

What about swithes?

Switches are nightmare in Czechia. But I found one working in my house it's AQARA Smart Wall Switch H1(With Neutral, Double Rocker) - rocker stands for one or two buttons. I bought it on Aliexpress for cheap. It's shows in deconz as two lights lumi.switch.b2lc04 but who cares? You can use template in home assistant and create switch. How to pair them? Here.

Some statistics

I am using ConBee II for at least 3 years and it's working as charm once you paired it and nobody resets devices. Thank you Phoscon.

Helpful stuff

Do you have troubles with pairing it? Try to use USB 2.0 extender for ConBee and don't use USB port next to this one.
