At least if/when that happens all your files are in markdown, owned and controlled by you so migrating to another tool is pretty easy.

The power of the sun in the palm of my hand.

I met my wife via online dating just before Covid…

Feel like I caught the last chopper out of 'Nam.

Welcome friend. :)

I’m not on Reddit much these days but every time I am and I see threads with people discussing these Reddit policy changes Lemmy gets mentioned. Usually with people complaining they already tried or couldn’t figure it out or that it isn’t good enough…

I think as the enshittification marches on they’ll be some more exodus from Reddit but generally I think everyone is just getting used to all online social media being a total corporate disaster.

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.

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

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 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.
