[levvvy]

Hey @tteck 👋,

It's been a while since I made a request to add Autobrr to your set of scripts. I just wanted to say thank you so much for your hard work and dedication 👏🎉.

Everything works great to this day, and you've been absolutely crushing it! 💪

Today, I have another suggestion for you - a program developed by a Polish programmer called Kopia

Kopia is a versatile open-source tool that provides fast and secure backup, personal file server, and sync capabilities. It uses advanced encryption methods, deduplication, and compression, making it an excellent solution for those looking for reliable and user-friendly backup software. With its automatic snapshot policies, Kopia ensures that your data stays safe and up-to-date.

Next up, I recently stumbled upon an interesting Passky password manager

Project 🔑🔐, developed by a talented Slovenian programmer, Žiga Zajc. His LinkedIn profile can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ziga-zajc. The project is backed by Rabbit Company (surely named after his surname [Zajc in Slovenian means Rabbit]), which can be visited at https://rabbit-company.com/. Passky uses XChaCha20 encryption for data security, and Argon2id for master password hashing, which has been recognized as the winner of multiple password-hashing competitions, such as the Password Hashing Competition (PHC).

Passky offers several features that make it stand out:

• 🔒 XChaCha20 encryption for data security
• ⚡ Argon2id for master password hashing
• 🌐 Cross-platform support

Moreover, I believe Passky is heading towards the latest trend in the industry, the "passkeys" standard, which is a passwordless login.

It's like a breath of fresh air in the world of authentication 💨.
The name Passky might not be a coincidence, as the whole industry is introducing this new passwordless standard.
I only discovered it because I started using these keys for myself, and it's awesome!

Here are some resources for further information on passkeys 🔗↪️.

Did you know that if you have a YubiKey device 🔑🌎, you can also use it for Proxmox login?

Proxmox has an excellent implementation for it, which can be found in their documentation: Proxmox YubiKey.

It's like having a VIP pass to the Proxmox party! 🎉😎

These projects, Kopia and Passky, are gaining popularity in their respective fields, and integrating them into your Proxmox scripts would be a great addition to your already amazing collection. By incorporating these innovative tools, you could further enhance the user experience and expand the range of services that your scripts offer.

I hope you find these projects interesting and consider adding them to your incredible Proxmox
