At least take comfort that the piece of paper already makes them more secure than 90%+ of people!

And have faith… my mom is not super tech literate, but once she used and experienced the convenience of a password manager, she became an evangelist, she even taught and onboarded my grandma onto Bitwarden without me knowing about it.

I think maybe the grandma in the picture is supposed to represent one of the pensioners with an account at UniSuper who couldn’t access their account for a week due to the outage

The problem is not whether or not the site supported open search, the problem is that Firefox should have allowed me to easily and intuitively set a custom search engine. When I go into Google Chrome and want to set a search engine, I can easily figure it out. Having to change an about:config flag is not at all intuitive.

For the record, I was trying to save my bookmarklet URL from DuckDuckGo and the open search functionality wasn’t working to save my bookmarklet query string.

At least for me, to manually add the search engine, I had to follow this superuser answer to be able to add the custom search engine.

The real problem is that it is not possible to set a custom search engine like you can in Firefox (with a hack) or Chromium browsers.

Also, not sure where you are in the world but I (in the US) only have the following options:

• Google
• Yahoo
• Bing
• DuckDuckGo
• Ecosia

You might look into NASs or at least NAS software depending on how much storage we’re talking about. Or there are S3-compatible self-hosted solutions that you can search for and do some research.

I might recommend, however, considering a service such as Backblaze if your website’s uptime is critical as a halfway between self hosted and SaaS. I like to self host stuff, but there’s some things such as data backups or password management that is better left to the cloud where you can get SLAs and confidence in your uptime (because it always seems that something goes wrong with your hosting on a Friday night when you’re heading out of town).
