/*
** Breaking space is a fun thing to use here. The dokuwiki method is
** to use two '\' characters, followed by a single space to create the 
** newline without converting it to a new paragraph. This can only be 
** used at the end of a line.
**
** Ordered or unordered lists are two apaces at the beginning of the 
** line, followed by a '*' for unordered or '-' for ordered.
**
** deeper indentation for indented lists

__Topics__

  * Password storage - Scott has a little discussion on the topic.
    * Recently, we discussed authentication systems. We also have a similar issue with the necessity of managing more passwords than humans should have to handle. 
      * Self hosted password management is a thing.
      * Using someone else's service is an option, however we have seen multiple problems with that in recent history.
      * Zero knowledge cloud services are available. Do we trust them?
      * I like the idea of hosting my own vault and there are a few options that come to mind.
      * I saw a short video on one such tool and I thought it was interesting. I'd like to bring that one up as an example and maybe discuss the possible flaws in it.
