If you’re staying with windows and re-installing anyway (recommend this), make a ‘data’ partition, then link my documents, pictures etc. To identical folders on the data partition. Save user files on the data partition only.

That way, next time to reinstall it’s not a big deal at all, just relink the data folders. Your data is never touched and re installing is easy.

Or use Linux ;)

Edit: Something like this.

Yep, I think keeping TOTP codes in the same place as passwords defeats their purpose (no longer a second factor).

Less convenient but more secure.

It’s not unfair, but for my use case there are cheaper or free alternatives that work really well.

And I’m Canadian so it’s a bit more than that dollar wise.

I use Bitwarden for passwords. Just works so well.

KeepassXC and KeePassium for TOTP codes. I keep the database in the cloud but sync a key with Syncthing that’s needed to unlock the database on the devices themselves.

Strongbox is great, but expensive. I settled on KeePassium instead mostly based on cost.

I do with Mobius and it’s usable. I have a Synology NAS always there at home to sync to though. (Mobius syncs 1-2 hours per day in the background but it’s dynamic and not predictable thanks to Apple).

If I didn’t syncing between iOS devices would probably not work very well.

Yes instant syncing with iOS requires you to open the app if you can’t wait. I’ll often open Mobius if I’m working back and forth to make sure it syncs instantly.

You could probably create a Tailscale vpn network (or something similar) and setup Syncthing to use the Tailscale address of your laptop.

Obsidian + Syncthing is what I’ve settled on. Not perfect, but the best I’ve used.

Works great. Just remember syncing is not the same as a backup. Make sure you do backups!

Almost like doing this in this way would be part of a lawsuit…

I originally saw this on my phone with a red light filter… I thought the cabinets were brown and the marble a bit much.

… now without the filter this is much worse lol.
