Surely giving the gun to the fascist is a better decision. They'll just shoot themselves in the foot... Right?

Yeah it's worth considering risks. If I lose access to my credentials it would be a ridiculous amount of work to recover, probably losing access to some things forever.

Bitwarden caches passwords locally so if your self hosted instance goes down or is inaccessible to can still access those cached credentials and OTP codes.

I tested this thoroughly and was very nervous that a server outage at home would lock me out of the credentials I need in order to fix it. It's been good enough for me to get by until I can fix whatever is broken.

I've had a good experience self hosting Bitwarden (using Vaultwarden). I've printed off some instructions for my wife or family to gain access in case something happens to me. I haven't done this yet but I also want to occasionally export my vault to an encrypted USB to keep alongside things like passports and birth certificates.

Those might be good options for you too considering the risks you've outlined.

I self host Bitwarden (aka Vaultwarden) and recommend that to anyone who is comfortable hosting a container. For everyone else I still think Bitwarden cloud is the best most trustworthy free cloud credential manager.

KeePass rules though, I used it for years. I no longer recommend it mostly due to the difficulty of securely syncing the database which generally forces people to rely on a cloud provider anyway.

This is probably the most 'old man yells at cloud' thing about me but I hate voice assistants and they have yet to work consistently enough to be worth my time.

It is completely insane to me that something simple like "Add ____ to the grocery list" has worked and stopped working multiple times for years now. How hard is that to get right? Cannot believe such a simple action is so inconsistent.

Cults are difficult to handle because the members of a cult are both victims of violence and perpetrators of violence.

The sad hard truth is that we need to see people trapped in far right ideology as potential allies. We need to understand the faulty reasoning and lies that led them down that path and find a way to welcome them back into a world of acceptance and empathy. Personal attacks may feel good but it only entrenches them further.

Ridicule the ideology. Point out the logical fallacies, inconsistencies and lies... Don't let them have a platform to spread hate without opposition or counterarguments. But also understand the people spreading the hate are hurting inside and if they switch sides they can be the best allies to help counter-program others.

If I renounce ownership can I un-renounce it later?

you have to dig around in legacy settings

Windows can still be made into a tolerable usable OS, but it basically requires a minimum of 20 years of knowledge about where the legacy control panels, settings, and secret reg keys are hidden. Every new version obfuscates them even more and yet they are no closer to feature parity with the 'modern' control panels that barely work at all.

Any chance you'd be willing to share playbooks or point me toward any resources you used?

I use Ansible to manage config across all my workstations/servers but I haven't gotten around to automating log shipping yet or aggregating system metrics.

The five node limit is a dealbreaker for me too. I'm also annoyed the free version doesn't have any real built in options to secure data by default. I followed a TechnoTim tutorial to get the NetData/Prometheus/Grafana stuff setup but it was too limited and required too much manual effort.
