Anything that the family uses. Because when I cease to exist, my wife isn’t gonna take over self-hosting! So e-mail, chat, documents etc.
I told my wife when I die, she’s just going to have to throw it all away and start over.
We have separate email accounts and she knows how to get into my Keepass, so she should be able to get into whatever she needs to. I now have a daughter who is becoming interested in how these things work, so I’m hoping to slowly start training/handing off to her.
I have a router, switch and older access point preconfigured and ready to just plug in.
I have some basic documentation and a short list of folks to call, along with admin creds should anything need untangling.
But mostly it’s a rip and replace network. Ditch plex and get cable.
Google workspace is basically just gmail. You can pay someone to migrate it or abandon.
I gave my wife a laminated card with explicit instructions on how to access my keepass DB and encrypted backups. The rest can die when I do.
You know, I never thought about that
I hadn’t either until a few years ago. It’s something worth considering.

Bitwarden has an option called emergency contact.
The emergency contact can request access to see all the saved passwords. If I don’t deny the request then the request is automatically approved after X days.
I feel like this would cover most of the issues in the article.
