There’s an ongoing debate in the software engineering world: why do so many engineers—especially hobbyists and tinkerers—insist on building their own blogging engines? It seems almost inevitable. And yes, I too fell headfirst into that rabbit hole, encountering every problem that countless others before me had already endured.
Setting up Syncthing on multiple devices for synchronizing KeePassXC and Obsidian notes
As promised in the previous blog post. I’m going to write a manual-like document around setting up KeepassXC. This will be a continuously updated document as and how I learn more and better ways to do things. This also means that you are free to comment below regarding anything you know. I’ve split the text into sections for Linux, Windows, Mac and Android, so you can directly skip to the necessary sections. The other things that are platform independent are marked as common.
If you’re reading this there’s a high chance that you have multiple online accounts; each having usernames and passwords. If this is the case you either have multiple passwords memorised or have them saved somewhere. Considering you’ve memorised passwords, it might be that the passwords are either the exact same, or similar or you tend to forget them. Do you think you’re this person? For those who answered yes, it’s time to use a password manager to manage your passwords.
Finally, I managed to solve the issue that I was facing with the Linux upgrades. I can now upgrade and start both the LTS and the non-LTS build of Arch. So I will now write what went wrong, what I missed, and what can be thought of in the future. Every time I force & resolve an issue like this, it’s always something new about Linux that I end up learning.
So recently I wanted to do a clean installation of my Arch Linux, which I did. This took a couple of hours after which I could get a running Desktop environment. The moment I had a basic usable system, I ran a global update of all the installed packages.
