  • Return to sender. That shit is too powerful for Africa.

  • At one point the Cryengine was going to be the future of gaming and then... Nothing. There were like two games ever to actually use it.

  • Offline Steam is a pretty inconsistent experience.

  • I've started using Firefox to install sites 'as a web app'. I use that for cloud services and things I self host. Basically works like a native app but way more control over data.

  • Maps like this are the only way my feeble American brain can process complicated European things.

  • After working with computer software most of my life I've come to understand that if success relies on people 'paying attention to something, making an informed decision and then performing an action' that it is nearly impossible to get the desired outcome more than half the time.

    We're so fucked.

  • It's also obvious that Trump and BB were coordinating during the election to ensure Biden couldn't get a ceasefire deal in place in order to harm him politically. But as soon as Trump takes the office they just agree to a ceasefire no problem (as if that hadn't been the plan all along) aaaaaaand then Trump goes off about finishing the job and annexing the whole west bank for the US. What a fucking surprise.

  • One thing that young people don't understand is that the entire world used to smell like cigarettes all the time. Photos and videos can't really convey this effectively.

  • So... how long before the federal government buys up a couple million of these things...?

  • This is what I'm using and I haven't found any reason to switch yet.

  • It was okay that food sucked back when it was cheap but now it's expensive and it still sucks.

  • In Adventure Time demons in the Nightosphere poop bananas so when Jake carries around a banana everyone is grossed out by it.

  • I use a Gnome implementation of this and it works great too.

  • Quick thinking

  • Surely giving the gun to the fascist is a better decision. They'll just shoot themselves in the foot... Right?

  • Yeah it's worth considering risks. If I lose access to my credentials it would be a ridiculous amount of work to recover, probably losing access to some things forever.

  • Bitwarden caches passwords locally so if your self hosted instance goes down or is inaccessible to can still access those cached credentials and OTP codes.

    I tested this thoroughly and was very nervous that a server outage at home would lock me out of the credentials I need in order to fix it. It's been good enough for me to get by until I can fix whatever is broken.

  • I've had a good experience self hosting Bitwarden (using Vaultwarden). I've printed off some instructions for my wife or family to gain access in case something happens to me. I haven't done this yet but I also want to occasionally export my vault to an encrypted USB to keep alongside things like passports and birth certificates.

    Those might be good options for you too considering the risks you've outlined.

  • I self host Bitwarden (aka Vaultwarden) and recommend that to anyone who is comfortable hosting a container. For everyone else I still think Bitwarden cloud is the best most trustworthy free cloud credential manager.

    KeePass rules though, I used it for years. I no longer recommend it mostly due to the difficulty of securely syncing the database which generally forces people to rely on a cloud provider anyway.

  • This is probably the most 'old man yells at cloud' thing about me but I hate voice assistants and they have yet to work consistently enough to be worth my time.

    It is completely insane to me that something simple like "Add ____ to the grocery list" has worked and stopped working multiple times for years now. How hard is that to get right? Cannot believe such a simple action is so inconsistent.
