What exactly is the deadman setup? I did a quick search and found someone asking for a feature from last pass. Is this what you’re referring to?
I’ve debated on using a bank safe but I’m still unsure about the regulations in my country regarding them. Notably what can law enforcement do without a warrant etc etc.
In terms of self hosting I think that’ll likely be the route I go as well, where family can just “shut it down” upon my death. I’m sure my partner might want to keep a few things (e.g. my kodi setup) but the things they would want to keep aren’t too difficult I feel.
I wish the address book and calendar information were also encrypted
However, Open-Exchange, the software platform used by Mailbox.org, does not support the encryption of your address book and calendar. A standalone option may be more appropriate for that information. (source)
I currently use protonmail but if mailbox.org made that change I’d switch immediately, so I could actually get calendar integration on KDE (with Kontact)
It depends on which version you install. They have a version where user namespaces are disabled so tools such as podman and distrobox cannot run and flatpak requires bubblewrap to run as root. If you download the other version podman etc. will run and flatpak will also use user namespaces

I know a bunch of people here have mentioned Bitwarden, but I would like to mention one feature that makes it superior to all others. You can integrate it to services like SimpleLogin, AnonAddy, Firefox Relay, DDG etc. and auto-generate email aliases within the Bitwarden extension. In theory it is more secure to not do this but it is such a huge QoL feature to just hit the randomize button in the extension to create an alias for a new login. It also populates the info field on simplelogin with something along the lines of “Auto-Generated by Bitwarden for: [website]”
You and someone else have mentioned the deadman switch, does the other person need an account or can credentials be made for them? I haven’t used bitwarden in a while (since I migrated to gopass and then to keepass), so I’m guessing this is a new feature.
That is a very fascinating feature and I think I’ll look into it!
