I wrote a bit about my plans to change the way I manage passwords (tl;dr 1Password --> Syncthing + KeePassXC)

Would love any and all feedback.

@schlink I'm surprised there isn't a Keepass2 implementation for iOS. There are two for Android, and one of them is really good.

@gcupc oh, didn't mean to imply there weren't. There's MiniKeePass and a few others (see: keepass.info/download.html).

My issue is that I wouldn't be able to get at my KeePass db on my iphone unless I used something like Dropbox or Google Drive. At least that's my understanding.

@schlink oh. On Android, I use Nextcloud, but there's also an unofficial Syncthing.

@gcupc yeah-- read about the Syncthing Android route-- cool that it's offered.

What's Nextcloud like? I couldn't get a feel for it after a cursory skim of their website. Seemed a bit more intense of a setup than Syncthing? Though if they offered an iOS option that might be a winner...

@schlink they do have an iOS app, I believe. But nextcloud is much more heavyweight than Syncthing. It's not just a syncing solution. It's self-hosted cloud storage, contacts, calendar, plus optional apps for things like notes and document editing.

It's more like Google Drive or Office365 than just sync.

@gcupc ah OK. Syncthing is right about what I can handle-- I'm really relying on the defaults being sane and secure tbh. That said, another thing I want to get off of is Google Calendar

@gcupc @schlink Any particular contenders to replace Google Calender?

@schlink @paulsheprow IMO Nextcloud is your best choice. Self host, or find a provider that you are willing to trust.

@gcupc @paulsheprow Haven't looked into it, though I realize Google Calendar is a sleeper pick for hardest Google service to quit.

privacytools.io (a common starting point for me on such questions) doesn't have a section on calendars, but a search of their subreddit may be a good place to start reddit.com/r/privacytoolsIO/se

@schlink It would be real tough for me, but I'd sure like to. Enjoyed the keepass/syncthing post btw

@paulsheprow Thanks!

I've got a more general one on privacy/security that I try to keep relatively up-to-date (Don't think I linked to it in the keepass post)
