What is keeping you from using karakeep for you "read-it-later" articles, too?

+1 that question, I've also never installed/used OpenCloud, simply because I didn't see the benefit of it until now.

Based on the comments given so far, I have some hope that over time, the Go-approach could give us a more resource saving, but feature full alternative to tangle with, so I will stay tuned :)

For now I will stick to Nextcloud, because it gives me all the features I need and the maintanance, at least for the couple-hundred-user-instances I maintain, is not that bad, as I often read around the web :) But I also can understand, that people wish to have less maintenance struggles and therefor try sth else, wich is good for me, so I can hope for more experience reports in the near future :p

Yes, sorry for missunderstanding !

Ok, typing in the password but not seeing any characters (like * e.g.) is quite common. It prevents shoulder surfers from seeing the acual length of you password.

That means, that its still possible, that you keyboard is actually working there.

Are you using a layout different from US-ANSI ? Sometimes devices fall back to US layout during boot, which would lead to you typing in a "wrong" password, without noticing it. Especially special characters have different keys on different layouts. On german layout e.g. "y" and "z" are "swapped".
