I was on lemm.ee for 1.75 years before the post announcing the retirement of that instance. I enjoyed my time on lemm.ee, but understand the retirement. @sunaurus and their team did a fantastic job with that instance and, from looks of it, feddit.online (and piefed overall) devs/mods seem to be cut from the same cloth!
I'm here to chat and open to discussing a lot of topics, so feel free to reach out if interested.
- Comment on Are password managers secure to use? 1 week ago:
There's no guarantee anything is "secure," anymore. Even if you run a self-hosted password manager, it could still be compromised at the package-level or down the road through some exploit. I will say that since I started using Bitwarden as my main password manager, I have had to worry less about company data breaches and stolen passwords. I have no need to reuse passwords for any site or service. I can use the built-in 2FA with sites that require it and don't have to have multiple apps. I can share passwords with my wife if she needs to access something under my name.
In addition to storing logins, I can store secure notes, even storing login-specific notes within the login details for things like one-time-use passwords, etc. I can store various credit/debit cards and recall them into payment systems whenever I want, without storing them in a browser. When using the phone, I can tie the biometrics to the unlocking of my vault so, with the vault locked, I can easily unlock it to find the login/info I need to submit to an app or website.
Obviously, all this comes with their own risks, but the level of risk of a password management is far lower than the risk of reused passwords and the mismanagement of security at the corporate-level. If you're really hard-up to keep your stuff offline, other products exist that are locally stored, but you'll likely miss out on access from outside the home in the event you need that login info somewhere else.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 1 week ago:
Sorry, that comment was sarcasm. Or, maybe they could use the same pic for both types of verification. Hang some brain with your face and make someone's day (or nightmare), was my point!
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 1 week ago:
They've been doing that for most NSFW communities for a while. It's called a Verification Post.

YES!!!! USA! USA! USA!
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 1 week ago:
Is it worth replacing within a year only to be sent a refurbished when it dies?
- Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest 2 weeks ago:
We have much to learn of your wisdom!
- Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest 2 weeks ago:
Aww, but then I gotta be a dick to crows and I like the small army of two that I've amassed thus far!
- Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest 2 weeks ago:
I attach raw chicken to my phone and let the racoons be my digital eyes for a few. They get fed, I get plausible deniability, and only a mild case of conjunctivitis!
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 5 weeks ago:
May just be the only thing that saves this country. Fewer people on social media is good for society at this point.
- Comment on Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things 1 month ago:
Pay no attention to LAPD, we purposely trained them wrong... as a joke.
- Comment on Shooting an unarmed woman who was just trying to walk home: just LAPD things 1 month ago:
Shit, as prior military we were taught you don't point your weapon at anything or anyone unless you're prepared to pull the trigger. The fact that all the others on that line had their weapons down, but this dude has his up the whole time, tells you all you need to know about the lack of training of that individual.
