OK, I’ve been planning to buy one of their devices so I’m very interested in such information. Where have you heard this? Do you have any sources you can point me to?

Also, some people believe the Earth is flat.

You are running into the ultimate, and ultimately unavoidable, limitation of self-hosting, which is the self.

You should run a VM on the VPS for Vaultwarden, with no other services in the VM except whatever you need to connect to it remotely. Keep it simple. Run an exact copy of the VM on your local server. Have the VPS instance push its database to the local instance regularly, to keep up with any changes that your users make. Make regular backups of the local instance.

When you need to update the software, freeze an image of the local VM and then update the local VM, then when you’re sure it’s stable, copy the updated local VM to the VPS. If either the local or VPS instance crashes out, you should be able to recover (or reproduce) one from the other.

In the end though, it is functionally impossible to ensure reliability by yourself. Hosting Vaultwarden on a VPS shifts the responsibility for running the underlying server and network connection to the provider, and probably removing the dependence on your residential network connection will be better for your family/users.

You are still the weak point in your system. You need someone else who can log in to your local server, and into the VPS, and perform recovery if needed. There is no technical solution for this. You cannot be the sole admin, and also ensure reliability for other users.

And /e/OS, which is available pre-installed on some devices sold by Murena.

Yes.

We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.

South Korea is feeling threatened by China, and is worried that the US has become an unreliable partner, so they are making a political move that doesn’t involve much direct risk to themselves.

Ah, no, see if you demonstrate any capacity for troubleshooting printers you fail the intelligence test.

Gas tank fills in 5 minutes if you are empty and have a large tank to fill, otherwise less. Also, if I know that I am going to be away from gas stations for awhile (camping, offroading) I can fill up my can and carry that with me.

Not the policies, but certainly activists like Greta Thunberg have been characterized as angry extremists (by people who are financially interested in maintaining the status quo).
