looks like you're in the ballpark, sept 14

helpful post, ty - I’ve also been halfheartedly looking at bitwarden (possibly with vaultwarden server) and I haven’t pulled the trigger yet because extra yaks. so knowing some of the other happenings there… oof

(including pulling the trigger I’d want to have it hosted on an island instead of directly exposed, which adds other requirements and steps)

the only other option is (gnu) pass, but it sucks pretty majorly ito clients. it really isn’t a good time in password managers :|

that keepassxc thing continues going wild. there’s an account on fedi that’s been stubbornly defending their choice the last few hours. see here

to the latter part of my comment: both my own and also other peoples’ criticisms just turn into a dead avenue. the applicable poster just ghosts that subthread while happily posting elsewhere

guess there’s no desire to do better!

what a baffling way to describe it

this is a recurring problem with them/their posts; if you look across history you can see a continual pattern of “de jour grumpword a la $somecommunity” leak forth

I have on occasion asked them to try to make better posts. they don’t seem to give a fuck to do so tho

Given that this is the person who composed the ode with the hook “we appreciate power”, let’s just say that my take re their opinion in this post is rather minimal

me, a ZAian, while waking up (with only ~6h after a 2.5 day awake stretch): "huh? perfectly normal for them to drive on the left side? .....oh wait, right. elsewhere."

wasn't common crawl the one that pulled a similar trick to goog's "if you label a thing as $x we won't include you"[0]? I could swear I heard their name in association with some derpshit intake management stuff above and beyond the typical fundamental "free/open scraper set" problems

[0] - a tactic google first pulled with Streetview cars pulling in a pile of wifi beacons and tying it to location - "if you don't want it just rename your AP to '{prefix} - {apname}'". a reply that was just dumb and aggravating but also it fucking sucks that basically no standards have taken this problem to heart in the ~15y hence

the exasperation I so often express is not for nothing :|

curious, that art style in that reply strongly matches the image I saw on this toot drifting by in my timeline earlier

haven't seen them before, but a short tour around their infra/systems providers isn't particularly exciting - depending on both your threat model and what-you-want in a vendor

some parts/pages do provide some detail in encouraging depth, but I'd have to do a much more full review to give you a good answer

there's been a couple of "where email" threads over the last year, tuta's still one of the top options on that but you can check the threads if you want to see some of the other promising options

fuck nostr. flere and fullsquare covered the details well tho

did you also see the FUTO shit? it's getting Red String On Corkboard bad to track all these fuckers

yeah it’s very much an intentional usage of poisoned language to construct a targeted outcome

but arrrrrrgh

could I, like, not do that? would suit my needs better. kthx

I realize it’s been poisoned since/by coiners, but god I hate that usage of “democratize”
