Vaultwarden is what you’re looking for.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 5 days ago:
All that domestic violence that happens on coffee house first dates.
- Comment on Its all bots, isn't it? 1 week ago:
I feel like if I don’t participate, it’ll only be the bots manipulating people.
And yeah, as people we’re probably outnumbered. But I kind of hope the truth counts for something.
- Comment on Its all bots, isn't it? 1 week ago:
Nope.
- Comment on Which career to pursue? 1 week ago:
Doctor. Everyone always needs doctors, all the time forever. And they’ll always make good money, because even rich people like to continue living.
- Comment on Cracker Barrel Outrage Was Almost Certainly Driven by Bots, Researchers Say 1 week ago:
Are we not allowed to talk about an interesting intersection of advertising and politics?
You know this is a discussion board, right? If you didn’t want to discuss, why are you posting?
- Comment on He looks so shocked 1 week ago:
I didn’t appreciate that my someone had apparently spent a year smoking in my car while I was inside the pizza shop.

we’re seeing an increase in the diagnosis of autism.
Absolutely.
We’re not seeing an increase in Autism
Not sure about that. It can be both.

“Will not hesitate”
… anymore, I guess.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 2 weeks ago:
If the thousand instance users are controlled by three people, it’s not that hard.
We might not be there yet though. Elections are far enough out.
I expect 95% of Lemmy to be propaganda and manipulation when we get closer. There’s only so much that can be done to keep our nation states when all the users are anonymous.
And when you put your real name on things, you get cancelled.
It’s a bad time for the Internet, and I don’t have easy answers. Just be very aware that what seems to be “consensus” opinion might actually be twenty accounts controlled by the same guy or organization. They might even argue with each other, and just have the side they want to lose present weak arguments.
- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
I wrote a paper for English in college, which I wouldn’t write the same way today.
I started with a shocking, racist statement that I held up as an example of things that aren’t acceptable. I spent the rest of the paper both refuting that and drawing parallels to other things that shouldn’t be acceptable.
My shocking statement was effectively taken at face value, and I was originally given a D on the paper. I went back and argued it into a B, because it really wasn’t what it seemed at first, if you just read it.
That attention getter sure got attention though. I don’t remember if that was part of the assignment.
I tend to have this writing style often enough that my super power is convincing people to do the opposite of whatever I’m advocating for. There’s at least one famous Lemmy example from me.
- Comment on It's depressing, man 2 weeks ago:
It’s also kind of surprising how my education mattered. When you’re going through it a lot of it doesn’t feel useful.
But then you meet people who really can’t read or write effectively or understand simple concepts.
Even people here on Lemmy are more likely to take the feeling of each word than to understand the sentences as a whole.
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
(Hint: If you subsidize eggs, you can make them cheaper.)
Why didn’t Biden think of that? /s
- Comment on Americans have 400 days to save their democracy 2 weeks ago:
You’re not helping. You might be worse than the idiots. You have the awareness to see what is happening, and this is how you respond.
- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 2 weeks ago:
putting in the design effort to improve the tools in the ecosystem
They have. The problem is that they generally cause as many problems as they solve. Adding another layer in software is often as harmful as it is helpful.
LLMs are nice in this regard, because they don’t really add another layer, but they do take care of the excessive boilerplate that’s easily understandable.
- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 2 weeks ago:
But… That’s where you’d put this crap. Notepad had one job, and it did it well.
- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
It’ll sometimes do dumb and/or redundant or too complicated shit. Pile up a couple of those and your codebase can get unmaintainable fast.
I find if you give it small chunks and keep an eye on it, it’s great.
I think one of my recent prompts was “Create a procedure that creates an example configuration file with placeholder values. If a config file doesn’t exist on start, give a warning and create the example config.”
It also works great as a replacement for an ORM.
- Comment on Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
I understand how to turn the results of a select statement into an update statement, but the AI does it a hell of a lot faster.
I find if you give it small enough chunks, it’s easy enough to review. And even if you do have to correct, it’s generally easier to correct than it would be to write it all by hand.

Also applies when the dev could know what they’re doing, but just doesn’t care to.
- Comment on Too soon? 3 weeks ago:
Tell that to France.
- Comment on Too soon? 3 weeks ago:
The left is notoriously unarmed
Heh. The left talks about their guns less. They don’t have guns on their Christmas cards with their kids as part of their identity.
But there are plenty of leftists with guns.
- Comment on Too soon? 3 weeks ago:
Especially this one.

I’m not intending to leave my country and let Nazis take over.

Well, not voluntarily. There’s a difference.

It’s an attempt to scare them off. Could be a warning shot.

Yeah, LibreOffice saves in docx. Which is fine as long as you don’t care what it looks like when they open it.

A diy VPN is exactly the disaster scenario of vibe coding.

Hey, let’s play a game. Any time someone says something good, you guys shit all over it.
Wait, did you all start without me?
