I have a deadman switch where if I don’t log into a service for 90 days it sends all my passwords and information to my closest living relative.
If you'd be willing I'd be interested to know more about how you did this.

> While there probably isn't anything on them, it's always been a pain to not know. I know I wouldn't care because I'd be dead, but I really do not want my family getting on to my personal devices after I'm dead. Those are things that I will never give them the passwords for, not everything is their business.
yeah same here. Do I have to give out my passwords, or can I just make a doc with important things?
i have all the family photos on encrypted devices, and the most efficient way to share them is to share the passwords for those devices. my phone they don't need because the important stuff from the phone is backed up anyways, so they just need that backup.
so i guess the easiest way is to keep separate backups of stuff you want to keep private and stuff you want to share.
I'm getting "Something went wrong. Please try again later." (both latest FF and Chrome). I don't think HN can slashdot Google yet, any ideas?
I get the same on firefox with ublock origin, but it works if I turn off ublock or use chrome. on my android firefox, I can't load any google properties - it just redirects to a help page about how to clear my cache (clearing the cache doesn't help)
So yes, maybe the servers handling google groups are a little too busy.
My brother passed away very suddenly a few years ago, and I was put in charge of wrapping up and archiving his "digital" life. We were very lucky that we had access to a recovery email for his main gmail account (as well as a couple of passwords that his partner knew) and was able to access and archive virtually all data we could think of (services like Google Takeout were invaluable). I realized that if this had hap…
Some time ago my dad had some severe heart problems which lead to him being hospitalised for multiple months and a lengthy recovery where he was in full "vegetable" mode in the beginning. As he is somewhat of a "patriarch" personality the whole family finances, insurances etc. where all on his personal system.
It really was "fun" to sort everything out for us and even more "fun" for himself making any sense of his whole accounting sheme after suffering some memory loss during the whole ordeal.
So... having some "letter of last resort" deposed somewhere may even benefit yourself...

Useful checklist: https://getyourshittogether.org/ Others in this thread have talked about safety deposit boxes and buried crates. I'd add that you can just give some trusted party a normal encrypted USB flash drive, and eliminate the risk of getting absolutely rinsed out in the event of a house burglary by splitting the password amongst an arbitrary number of your other contacts using the Shamir's Secret Sharing alg…

But we don't use LastPass after they have demonstrated over and over that they are not to be trusted with our secrets, right?
And it means they must be keeping the recovery passwords in plaintext, so it just gets worse...
Can someone copy-paste the text, please? I cannot read it because Google hates Firefox users apparently. EDIT: The Internet Archive has a functional copy. https://web.archive.org/web/20230810094255/groups.google.com...
No issues with FF for me. Probably the HN effect maybe?
Edit: typo
What is it that prevents the rest of the vim community from adopting neovim? From what I can observe, a great deal already have. But for the folks holding out, what is it that outweighs all that neovim has to offer?
But alas, the motivation is not big enough for me to invest the effort.
Some features I'd like from Neovim are built-in LSP (but Vim has that thank to plugins), and tree-sitter based syntax highlighting.
That's not enough for me to move to Neovim.
Why so many people love vim? I have a genuine question. I was trying to delete contents of a file and paste new content. It was nightmare for me to remember the 3 or 4 finger combination shortcuts with small and cap letters involved during the process. I like if the shortcuts using Ctrl or shift or Alt or Command or Windows buttons over 3 finger with caps changing keys. The cognitive load in remembering shortcuts is…
