- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
Oooh thank you!
Can’t believe I missed that
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
Like the other commenter said, typically websites are less locked down.
It’s simpler to sandbox the browser and prevent unauthorized software from running than to block out most of the Internet and deal with complaints all day about the web restrictions
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
I also use aYubiKey in VaultWarden but the key is not used to generate the encryption keys, only the master password is, so you don’t get that added security and benefit of the encryption keys rotating every time you save the DB.
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
You sure can.
But that’s not perfect.
Often businesses will lock down their computers to prevent unauthorized software from running at all, not just installing. - Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
Ok that makes more sense lol
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
Ah, I couldn’t find that option.
I can add custom fields to an entry but I can’t designate them as “protected”
Of course I also thought at first that you couldn’t attach files but I guess you can, they just didn’t seem to transfer over from my KeePass DB
- Comment on My Home Server software stack 1 year ago:
I’ve had some trouble with Next cloud as well. For me it feels sluggish and bloated.
Someone in another thread here said “NextCloud can do everything, but it doesn’t do anything particularly well” and that seems to mirror my experience with it for the most part.
Of all the self-hosted containers I’ve set up NextCloud gave me the most trouble
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
I’m using 64-character passwords with upper/lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols.
I prefer not to manually enter them every time
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
and there even is a „no phoning home“ version that strictly runs locally.
Shouldn’t that be all the versions?
Why would a password manager app that uses a local database need to phone home?
- Comment on My new favourite password manager 1 year ago:
I have both set up right now.
Things I like better about KeePass:
KeePass doesn’t use the cloud, you don’t have to worry about the server getting compromised because there’s nothing public-facing to hack. You always know where your password database is.
KeePass lets you encrypt the database with not only the master password but also using the challenge-response from a YubiKey. That means every time you save your DB the encryption key is rotated.
While both can add custom fields to an entry, I like that KeePass has the option to set fields as protected so their contents are hidden like the passwords.
Things I like better about VaultWarden:
Convenience.
You can log in to your VaultWarden account on any device from the browser. KeePass requires some software to access the DB.
The VaultWarden companion software is just better. It just does autofill better. KeePassXC/DX work well but just not as well as the BitWarden software.
Other thoughts:
Syncing passwords between devices with KeePass requires 3rd party software like SyncThing. If you break/lose/etc your VaultWarden server you could lose all your passwords with it.
Always make/test backups.
- Comment on Vapes, chargers, and other “invisible” e-waste are a 9-million-ton problem. 1 year ago:
I suspect cigarettes generated a lot more litter but with a lot less precious metals in it
- Comment on Cost-cutting tips? 1 year ago:
Yeah this is probably my biggest.
Device which things can be hosted on a local server and which are best on a vps
- Comment on How do you backup your data? 1 year ago:
I use Kopia
- Comment on Apple TV's tvOS 17 brings VPN support, which Tailscale now supports. 1 year ago:
If anyone wants to see your shit they can install something on your telephone pole that can supercede a VPN anyway.
False.
My WireGuard VPN uses pre-verified encryption keys and all data between the nodes is encrypted with them.
Nothing (whether put there by the cell carrier, public wifi provider, or some gang member on the telephone pole) can decrypt that communication except the devices which already have the keys.
I’m not sure what makes you think VPN security is moot, but you are misinformed.
Using a VPN is always more secure than not using one, particularly if you control the server on the other end.
The only time a VPN wouldn’t help is if your device itself is compromised at which point you have other problems than a VPN anyway
- Comment on In a leaked memo, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke put limits on employees having side hustles, saying Shopify requires 'unshared attention' 1 year ago:
“I don’t have any side projects so there’s no reason you shouldn’t pay me a living wage”
- Comment on PasswordManagement: which one of these options would you choose? 1 year ago:
Check out tailscale (or headscale)
It lets you connect those devices without necessarily sending all data through your home network when you are remote. (Though that is an option along with many other great features like ssh authentication)
It also uses WireGuard for the backend which is more secure and efficient than openvpn.
- Comment on Introducing Raspberry Pi 5 1 year ago:
…at several vendors, this was just the first one I pulled up.
You’re looking at a month or so wait for delivery at the most if you order now.
Yesterday they still had first batch available so maybe other vendors still do too
- Comment on Apple is ordered to face Apple Pay antitrust lawsuit 1 year ago:
Nope Apple has NFC payments locked up on their garden
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 revealed, and it should satisfy your need for speed 1 year ago:
To be fair it doesn’t have to be a hat. They have the pcie lane rigged up to an FPC connector similar to the DSI ones. So someone could easily design an m.2 drive enclosure, PCB, etc that just accepts the FPC ribbon and you can mount it wherever you’d like
- Comment on We have vehicles for all types of nature's elements except for fire 1 year ago:
Oh but the return capsule kinda rides on fire when it re-enters the atmosphere
- Comment on Raspberry Pi 5 revealed, and it should satisfy your need for speed 1 year ago:
It does support m.2 (and presumably other single-lane pcie devices via a HAT apparently.
- Comment on Selfhosted backup solution with GUI 1 year ago:
Kopia is my favorite by far!
It’s super fast and has tons of great features including cutting-edge encryption and several compression options.
It has a GUI and is cross-platform.
It can do both cloud and local/network backups
- Comment on OpenSubtitles Hostility 1 year ago:
Yeah this is one of my pretty peeves.
When I ask you for the logs I don’t mean cut out the one or two lines you might think are relevant.
Please provide the entire log file unless instructed otherwise.
I have no reason to believe the bits OP removed were relevant. In fact it sounds as though none of it was. But that’s not always the case and support people or the actual developers are just as capable of using the search function to locate the relevant parts of a log file as anyone else is.
Please provide the entire log, this “helping” concept causes now issues than it solves, trust.
- Comment on GPUs from all major suppliers are vulnerable to new pixel-stealing attack 1 year ago:
Keep your dirty cross-origin paws off my pixels!
- Comment on How to store backups? 1 year ago:
Haha nope not KDE-related afaik!
Just a great FOSS project.
Did I mention it’s also ridiculously fast?
It quite noticeably out-performs any other solution I’ve tried.
- Comment on How to store backups? 1 year ago:
I really love Kopia.
I mostly use it for cloud backups but it also works great for local/network storage as well.
It’s really fast and efficient, supports cutting edge encryption and compression and the de-duplication and file-splitting features will let you generate frequent snapshots while costing you minimal storage. Snapshots are also effortless to mount.
It’s also cross-platform and FOSS.
- Comment on 🦋🦋🦋 1 year ago:
I wonder what it feels like to be a brain in a goo sac
- Comment on My server is slow when i'm in Korea 1 year ago:
Ok but isn’t peertube defederated?
Which means (unless I grossly misunderstand the concept)
that your video(s) are stored not only on your own server but also shared out to other servers which also keep a copy cached.
So in this scenario it would be very much immune to these concerns because your video(s) will be streamed from the closest server to you which has a copy, meaning you will always get the best throughput no matter what your physical location is or what it was when you uploaded.
