Keeweb is what I use on all platforms. Yeah it's an electron app but it supports natively storing the keepass file in the cloud. Works online or offline and has global autotype.

Works great for me!

budafish | 5 years ago | on: You don't really need a virtualenv

That's my point. I've always found it hard to set up dev containers. Also each dev container requires its own container, so I may have 10 python docker containers. My implementation only requires 1 image and temporary containers.

Ive never quite managed to get the hang of setting up a dev container. I'ts a bit too tricky for me.

I have resorted to using a throwaway dev container which mimics the local storage of packages. Hopefully someone find the below bash function useful.

The only issue I have using this method is that I cant use VSCode to Debug, which I am hoping to find a nice solution for, but nothing yet.

  function python() {
     docker run \
         -it --rm \
         --name python_$(pwd | sed 's#/home/##g' | sed 's#/#.#g')_$(date +"%H%M%S") \
         -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
         -v "$(pwd)":"$(pwd)" \
         -w "$(pwd)" \
         -e PROJECT_ROOT="$(pwd)" \
         -e PATH="$(pwd)/vendor/bin/:${PATH}" \
         -e PYTHONUSERBASE="$(pwd)"/vendor \
         -e PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 \
         -e PIP_NO_CACHE_DIR=1 \
         --net=host \
         -h py-docker \
         python:3-slim \
         /bin/bash -c '/bin/bash --rcfile <(echo "PS1=\"[$(python --version)]:: \"") -i'
 }

As others have said Google Photos backup via RClone has some caveats, mainly not downloading at original quality. Google Takeout does solve this but but in weird hierarchies.

I stumbled on a new project which simulates a browser download using a headless Chrome Developer tools session[0]. Looks interesting, supports continuation and can be ran on a cron job. Worth a look.

budafish | 5 years ago | on: Show HN: System for Private Data Management

Whilst in theory this is a great idea to manage such information, it feel like a pretty basic level of management. The functionality is broad but flat, so much so that for my use cases it's not feature filled enough to warrant using. However definitely agree for the right user, this type of application would be great.

I would love to use notion more, I like the way it works, it's flexibility, and would happily pay, unfortunately your offline capabilities arnt as good as I'd like it to be, and importantly your app startup time is very slow (which you already called out)

Will keep checking in in the future. Keep going though!
