After my adventures with KeePass I found myself frequently annoyed that my mobile app was unbearably slow when trying to unlock the database off of my home network. This is due its primary goal to connect to my Samba server, which takes a long time to timeout, before falling back to the local backup. This would be fine on the occasional times I was completely offline (no cell data and all), but...

At the behest of a friend (see his post), I decided to invest some time and energy into setting up KeePass XC. I was initially hesitant of the effort vs value, but it’s been a genuinely easy experience getting my desktop and mobile devices connected to a secure, centralized, user-owned password database. It began with the same question I imagine everyone expects when migrating to a new passwor...

We bid Minetown farewell …as Benji & I continue deeper into the mines. On more than one occasion I encounter a polymorph trap that changes my iron boots into snow boots, and vice versa. I didn’t know polymorph traps target your boots now, but it’s much better than turning into a creature that destroys all my armor. As we slay the odd gnome and dwarf lord, I start paying attention to my HP ...

We begin again …this time with our dog, Benji, by our side. We aren’t so lucky as to get an altar in the first room, and we face many of the same issues as before: locked chests, lots of shops with nabbable loot, and no way to reliably kill enemies from a distance. We actually encounter three shops as we explore down to level 6; a wand shop, a delicatessen, and a general store. Along the way w...

We start this time with two goals: tripe rations and an unlocking tool. I proceed to the next level and, through a mix of carelessness and haste, punch a floating eye directly in the retina. I was paralyzed all the way until I was fainting, and was saved by a stroke of good luck. In the narrow hallway I was in, I had my kitten on the left of me fighting a monster and the floating eye on my righ...
