But then "turn on the lights" doesn't work. I've only got 1 speaker in the room. This would also fail if you had IoT lights in your nightstands and you wanted to control just the main (multi-light-fixture) light but not the nightstand lights, for example, which is specifically why I don't bother with IoT lights in nightstands and the like.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch, it has a button for that too. But also the Wallet app on the watch has to be manually opened to use it anyways, it's not passive background app. I think I might just disable NFC on my phone and stick to using my watch for payments.
Yes, but what happens when you have one room with multiple light fixtures, each with multiple bulbs, and you want to manage them separately? This is relevant to me because I have a very long attic loft bedroom. If my wife is in bed at one end of the room and I'm on the computer at the other end, I want the lights at dim at my end and off at hers.
There are workarounds involving "automations" or tricks with naming conventions but they're very tedious and spotty. The ability to group bulbs together (which Phillips Hue offers) would be much cleaner.

Also, can somebody explain this to sysadmins when it comes to naming computers?
I mean programmers can have some weird naming conventions, but I've never met an adult professional programmer who named all his variables after planets or Harry Potter characters or just called everything stuff like ADMUTIL6 or PBLAB03T1 or PBPCD1602.
Hah, I (a Sr developer at the time) once built an entire mapping layer in our ETL system to deal with the fact that our product had long and expressive names for every data point but our scientists used statistical tools that had no autocomplete and choked on variable names longer than 32 chars so they named everything in like 8 chars of disemvoweled nonsense.
no worries, thanks.
I mean I'm okay to self-host something if there's a secure and safe and automatically backed-up solution. But realistically that's just "3rd-party paid cloud" like DigitalOcean. I could run a service on the pi I use for files and minecraft, but I'd still have to figure out making sure the service is secure and backed-up.
edit: I guess hoping that vaultwarden-server was a nice easy package already sitting in the Debian apt repos was too much to hope for right?
edit2: wow lemmy really poops the bed at deleted replies with replies doesn't it?
This workflow raises the obvious question for me: why not use keepass for everything, if you're already using it for your critical high security stuff? Worse ergonomics?
Hey Disney, you want to do a Big Stupid Live Action Remake movie? Stop fucking around with your beloved animated classics and do this fucking thing.
How's that one at Samba shares? I use Ghost Commander for that, but Ghost Commander's 2 pane ui is weird.
