+1 for keepass. I use an Android port of it on my phone. In a pinch, I can transfer the file to a computer, download KeePass, and still access it.
Beware that older linux-based KeePass programs may require (!) a windows machine to convert your password file to a newer version.

A hard-won lesson of later life: You don't have to be good at something to enjoy it.
But if you enjoy it enough, you'll eventually get good at it.

This is why I have transitioned to making my own.
Beware of carrageenan though. It's added to almost all heavy cream and it makes the ice cream taste gritty. Took me a while to find a source for actual pure heavy cream.

Ah, the proposition that there must be an In Group the law protects but does not bind, and an Out Group the law binds but does not protect. Of course.

Oof. Can't grow those yellow pears here. For some reason the aphids tear them to pieces. Other kinds do fine.

Hah hah hah hah hah. Someday soon, Anthropic, OpenAI, and the rest will have to start charging what it costs them for AI. On that day, a lot of people will find out that it's not possible to accurately predetermine the cost of an AI prompt. Hilarity will Ensue.

Yeh, I certainly don't dispute the existence of the Resource Curse. Just its inevitability.

I had a dog who would sing along when I practiced my music. Sometimes it was fun, but mostly I shut him out of the room.

Even Better,
find . -type f -exec grep -l "George" {} \;
Will name all the files in the current directory and below containing the string 'George'. At least in a modern OS.

Libreoffice Impress easily handles makin' slide decks for my presos.
The 'view notes' tab choice is especially good. Figuring out how to print out the slides with the notes took me a minute, but man is it handy.

My secret microchips are running a tiny port of Debian. It took a bit of hacking and a few injections, but now I can get 5G on my fillings!
