Did free estimates from plumbers disappear?

I'm not looking for an exact price, but my bathtub is dripping and I'm pretty sure it's the cartridge. It's a $100 part, maybe, but so far the cheapest price I've been able to get is $60 for the truck roll so someone can tell me how much it will cost. "They don't keep pricing information in the office".

Anyone know of a plumber who won't charge a service fee before they can give me an estimate? They get bonus points if they're not P.E. owned but at this point I'm not sure that I care.

I'm in the north hills area.

Backing up keys

What's the best option for ssh key and mfa code backup? Right now my keys are "stored" in my downloads folder 😅 and I'm trying to get a handle on my digital life.

I have a NAS that holds all of my data and configs, which I encrypt and then backup to the cloud using using restic.

Can I just throw a copy of my keys on my NAS, and let them get backed up to the cloud? I understand that using something like BitWarden is probably "preferred", but my understanding is that doesn't actually change how keys are stored: You have a local copy and an encrypted cloud copy.

If just I put a copy of my keys in an encrypted backup, am I exposing myself to any additional risk?

My encryption keys for the cloud backup are printed out and will be stored at a second location.

Thanks in advance.
