Would you recommend a password manager at all for people that are not really familiar with computers or smartphones? I was thinking at pushing Bitwarden (because I have a vaultwarden instance), but this might be too complicated... Any experience?

Pour ceux qui iraient dans une boulangerie Ange, il y a une affiche "Plaisir éternel", ici c'est écrit 3 chocolatines achetées, 1 offerte.

Je me demande s'il existe une version de l'affiche avec des pains au chocolat ?

https://openports.pl is back online

There was a weird issue on the system, upgrades stopped working automatically due to a lot of .core files that filled the disk

Then, once I fixed this, there was a discrepancy between system perl and packages perl, I tried to rebuild things locally but gave up 😅

and it didn't repair itself with auto upgrades as I removed a package during my attempt at fixing by creating the packages locally
