Anyone use Skiff?

I’m only just hearing about the suite from skiff.com and curious if anyone here uses it. They’ve been around for 3 years and apparently offer an open sourced encrypted suite. They’re mainly known a Google Docs alt, but I just learned they offer encrypted mail, calendar, and cloud (10GB for free) along with their docs....

City Guardian (AI assisted) (i.imgur.com)

I’ve been diving into AI assisted workflows and found an extreme font for creativity. My recent efforts have been towards RPG-style characters like you’d see in a D&D game, and this guy came from the idea of a royal guard of an ancient city, Egyptian/African-esque. The AI gave me a variation with just the shield and I really...

It looks amazing, I just can’t shake how much the characters face resembles the lyricist Ryan Caraveo!

I’ve used Bitwarden for ages and it fits your needs very well. Sharing the login info will allow the rest of your family to access the passwords and TOTPs too. Bitwarden does charge for TOTP use, but Aegis is amazing to use along with Bitwarden. You could setup Aegis on your device and then, if you wanted someone else to have access, you’d just export the data so they could import it into their Aegis app.

Good to know, I didn’t talk about self hosting as it seemed like OP was aiming for it to be through a cloud provider. Its rad Bitwarden has both options and security is top notch either way!

Yep, you sure are lol, I edit the previous comment and added a Debian install guide for Vaultwarden. My apologies for the mix up.

VeraCrypt is the only company I use when it comes to encrypting external drives. Depending on what distro you use, you’ll just have to select the proper file format. Aside from that, maybe encrypt 90% of the drive so there’s some space for a few things which you can access without mounting the drive. When you go through the setup in VeraCrypt, it directly asks if the drive will be used with one or different systems, so they got you covered there. You can also find many video walk throughs online to follow along with as well.

Depending on your specific situation, it could be a solid option to just jump in to whatever distro covers your needs best and just run Windows in a VM. On a current Linux device which previously ran windows, throw this in the terminal:

sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM

and it will source the old Windows product key. You can also just jot down the key by pulling it up in Windows too. But regardless of how it’s handled, it makes the VM setup an easier process for sure!

If things are still the same from ~ June of 2022 then you have a choice between none, Linux Ext2, Linux Ext3, Linux Ext4, and NTFS.

Edit: VeraCrypt utilizes a unique encryption process. Its easy as you just move the mouse around like you went mad, but this produces a highly secure encryption key too. As long as your distro works with NTFS then it seems VeraCrypt can assist to help you encrypt. Otherwise, when Windows is a VM it only can do what Linux allows it to do lol

It’s quite an easy program to install and it’s also cross platform. The fact drives need the softwarenon aNY PC trying to gain access seems like a feature to me. Maybe if you wanted to copy something from the encrypted drive to a friends computer, only then would it be somewhat of a nuisance. But this all ties into me recommending to leave some portion of the hard drive alone. You’d be able to access anything not in VC’s space anywhere, while it’s also a breeze to download and install VC too.

Online Office suite, easy to set-up?

I’ve been using the Google Office suite for the past 10 years and been looking for an alternative for a while. Degoogling is a hard process. I mostly use the office suite and the files storage. I teach in college and Univ, so I need to be able to access my files and presentations from different computers. I curently have 200gb...

Cryptpad.fr is a fantastic full replacement for Google Office Suite. Open sourced, encrypted, but only comes with 1GB of storage on the free plan. You can pay to add more and its reasonably priced. It provides excell, powerpoint, and word. I like using board.net at times too. It’s FOSS as well but only provides a word equivalent. A little more straight forward in my experience for others.

Privacy friendly Adobe Acrobat alternative with ability to scan from scanner

I’ve been using Adobe Acrobat (cracked) for around 2 years, and i have recently started switching all of my proprietary apps with privacy respecting and/or FOSS apps, however i could not find a PDF viewer/editor desktop app that could scan and create documents from my printer/scanner, which i use quite often, thus i came here...

Okular is amazing, this paired with Libre Office for PDF creation is how I do PDF production and editing. Okular has somewhat limited editing, so when converting scans/photos into a PDF I use KolourPaint for more detailed editing. It allows me to remove, add, or edit anything in a scan/photo before it’s converted into a PDF by Libre Office.
