What is the point of vaultwarden? Is it safer or less safe than using the bitwarden app/website? (alien.top)

Not sure I understand why you'd want to self host a password manager. Bitwarden has never been breached AFAIK. How is it better or safer to keep if self hosted?

change ssh port, put an ssh tarpit on the default

What is a tar pit do? Does it maintain logs of people trying to access or something? Sorry I'm not very knowledgeable about this.

It responds glacially slowly to login attempts, which means the bot trying to automatically break into random servers it crawls to gets stuck trying to login. Thus a tarpit.
