The previous was actually Hades 2 which surprised me too.

Yes of course you CAN make it safe in theory, but unless you run it locally or on your own server, you cant be certain that the javascript delivered to you from the hoster hasnt been modified. Its like having autoupdates on but you have zero control over when or how the updates take place, because every time you open the page it could be different code from the last time.

Just set it up so that the resulting .kdbx database file is always instantly synced between your devices whenever you make changes. Everything is in that file and all keepass versions can open it. I use syncthing for this because it doesnt require a server, but you can use nextcloud or whatever you have available.

This is the kind of thing that machine learning is very very good at. Its never going to be perfect but its definitely gonna outperform humans.

KeepassXC is the goat :)
The database file is encrypted so its fine to sync it however you like. I use syncthing for it. Obviously set a very good password on it if you sync it through unsecure channels.

I believe those slop candidates are actually overall worse. They prevent the US from going into a charged enough state to enact actual change. They are the pacifier that keeps people inactive.

Bro i have my bank details, all my private 2FA, work 2FA, health insurance access, my families master passwords, steam access, and more in there. Its literally the most important piece of software that can exist in this day and age. No im not taking chances with that. The only thing you can do with my physical wallet if you rob me is buy something up to 20€ beyond which you need the cards pin. Everything else i can just deactivate by calling the relevant parties.

Lets be real, if the US population votes in a democrat that isnt at least as left as Bernie or Mamdani, the US will just incrementally move further and further right. Yes its better to get any democrat over a republican, but it wont save the US long term. Its rotten to the core and needs a healthy cleaning from the inside out.

Easy solution. Stop using apple devices…
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 1 day ago:
There is no way to patch this. Its an inherent flaw of delivering client software through a web browser. If the entire client is delivered as a web page from a server you dont control, then that server can modify the software however it pleases.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 1 day ago:
Yes, if you arent self hosting the web interface or using the desktop client.
- Comment on Password managers are less secure than promised 1 day ago:
OMFG can people please fucking go away with this stupid “password managers are worthless” bullshit today. They are exactly as secure as promised, unless you went to the obviously shady ones that use web interfaces. People have been saying this for years, if you want security, keep your password manager offline.

I mean the fact that they dont have any access controls on their servers should tell you how technically competent those cops are.

In germany its also catastrophic. I remember 3 stories off the top of my head where security researchers were raided or sued after reporting massive security issues in company software.

I got super lucky and got a 6950XT for free so now im set for another 5-10 years if nothing breaks. Well i say lucky, but i inherited it because someone close to me died…

Yeah i saw that back then, it happened multiple time with different organizations iirc.

I went with AM4 because it was looking quite future proof back 10 years ago when i initially bought a 1700. I upgraded from a 2700X to a 5800X3D last year and from 16 to 32GB of RAM. So yeah i definitely got lucky with the timing and with how long AMD kept making better CPUs for AM4.

How is a fucking URL all you need to access confidential evidence on a police server. Lets bruteforce some URLs i guess?

Foe is a unit to describe the amount of energy released by supernovae.

They already have been doing it. This is just an upgrade to what they were already doing. Ring cameras were already being used by the police for years.

- Comment on Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet 6 days ago:
Ok so terminology wise:
- Discord Server = Matrix Space
- Discord DM = Matrix Chat (these usually exist separately from Spaces/Servers)
- Discord chat room = Matrix Room
- Discord video/voice channels = Matrix Video Room (these still have an optional text chat FYI)
If you just want to create something resembling a discord server, you first create a Space.
You can decide if it should be public or private (public = anyone with the address can join / private = invite only)Then you add rooms to it, normal rooms for text channels and video rooms for voice/video channels. During the creation of each of these rooms (or after) you decide if they should be visible to all space members, or be invite only (think mod channels).
Afterwards just invite people to the Space and they will be able to join the rooms you set up.
There are 3 predefined permission levels: Default, Moderator, Admin but you can also define numeric power levels for more fine grained control over what people can do. You can set permissions for users on the Space level and on the room level separately. So you can give someone mod powers for the entire Space or only for a single room.
Some more details:
All of the different types of rooms can exist completely separate from Servers/Spaces or be part of them. The only purpose of Spaces is to create a sort of umbrella that these can all be grouped under. New people can then join the Space and automatically get access to the all the rooms that the Space/Server admin wants them to have access to. So in practice you will have a bunch of personal DMs or group chats that exist on their own, basically like any other instant messenger like Signal or WhatsApp. And then if you have a larger community that requires some more structure you can create a Space, to which you then add whatever rooms you need. There is a lot of flexibility to this however. Unlike with discord, all rooms exist completely on their own, they arent actually tied to a space. So you can detach a room from a space and attach it to another. You can also add preexisting rooms to a new Space.
So if you have a group chat with your gaming buddies, but at some point decide you want to expand your group and want to create a Space with multiple rooms, you can just add your original group chat to the newly created space. - Comment on *FREEEEM*; *sad birthday boy noises* 6 days ago:
I love this genre of youtube videos.

To me the main issue right now is history sharing in encrypted rooms being non functional. At the moment when you invite someone new to an encrypted room, they wont be able to read the historic messages in it, even if you toggled that on. They are working on it and its probably not super far away, but currently you basically have to use unencrypted rooms if you want new people to be able to see old messages.

Ooh nice to see, thanks for the link. Once all the major matrix clients support livekit, matrix will be much more recommendable imo. Element works okay, but it really is insanely bloated when you look at what other clients achieve with less than 1/10th of the application size.
- Comment on Give your Matrix account a Discord UI with Commet 6 days ago:
FluffyChat from my testing just now only supports the legacy 1:1 p2p calls not the new element-call system that supports large group calls and performs much better. I dont think cinny supports element-call either if i look at their changelogs from the last year.
