  • Having the means for each spouse to get the others passwords can be pretty essential when dealing with critical emergencies and death.

    I wa actually thinking about this. After I had a password breach, I wanted to setup a password manager. I wanted something. That I could host locally and access across my VPN. I also thought it would be neat to have a Deadman switch built in to it, where it pings you at set intervals and asks you to just hit a button to confirm you are alive. If you miss a certain number of pings consecutively, then it emails your specified backup contacts and has allows them to access your passwords.

    Is this anything anyone here is interested in? Or does it exist already?




















  • “Rollable” solar panels are still pretty stiff. You would need a beefier mechanism to handle the extra forces required. They also have a pretty significant “minimum turn radius” so they would need an entirely new design for their mechanism to work without damaging the panels.

    They do make personal solar array with a surface area comparable to your umbrella idea, but those would take days to charge a cellphone, so the charge you get walking around for a few hours is negligible.

    It’s a cool idea, and would be a fun project to build and show off, but it’s not going to be marketable or practical without a whole lot of development in solar, battery and umbrella tech.
