  • Fair point.

    The self-hosting part was mostly about total control over my own systems and less about the paid features. It’s very much not necessary.

    As far as pro features go, It was the TOTP authenticator integration that was kind of important to me. ~20% of my accounts have TOTP 2fa, and bitwardens clients will automatically copy the latest 2fa code into the clipboard when filling a password.

    Bitwarden will even tell you if a saved account could have 2fa (the service offers it), but it’s not setup/saved in bitwarden atm.


  • I currently have 110 unique user+password combos. I wouldn’t want to change all those even once, if I were breached and had used similar credentials everywhere.

    Bitwarden keeps them well managed, synced between devices, and allows me to check the whole database for matches/breaches via haveibeenpwned integration. Plus because I prefer to keep things in-house as much as possible, I even self-host the server with vaultwarden walled off behind my own vpn, instead of using the public servers. (this also means it’s free, instead of a paid service)










  • Rounding down… As in cheaper for you.

    $9.99 becomes $9.95.

    $9.94 -> $9.90

    What are you upset about?

    As a Canadian that first experienced not having to deal with pennies during a visit to Australia, then had Canada follow up with removing our own pennies; I absolutely love this change. Far less bulky coins to carry around/manage, which is so much nicer for both the consumer and cashiers.

    Now we just need to include taxes on the sticker price so you can actually add up prices reasonably as you shop, and not be surprised by the added taxes that’s a PITA to calculate as you go. Australia, you grab 5 items that each say ‘$5’ on them, you pay exactly $25 at the till, no extra math involved.



  • I feel horrible for the kids, they get forced to follow their parents mind-boggling stupidity.

    Derek and DeAnna on the other hand are adults who thought out, planned, and followed through with their idiocy.

    Politics aside; how could you possibly think moving your family to a country that’s actively at war with its immediate neighbor, and struggling to find bodies to throw on the front lines, is even remotely a good idea.

    It touches on the fact that Derek Huffman ended up sent to the front lines in the war against Ukraine, and for a while there were rumors he’d died there.

    I would genuinely be more surprised to hear they were left to live peacefully.







  • I was happy using Windows 7.

    I begrudgingly moved to win 10 right around 7s EOL and was never happy with it; but it was promised to be the ‘final’ version of Windows.

    I kept fighting with it to, for example, not use Edge. Manually removed the files at least three times only to have Windows Update keep re-installing it and changing it back to the default. Plus there are features hard-coded to use it, like the weater widget on the taskbar.

    Now we’ve got the same “you’re going to have it no matter how many times you say no” rapist attitude with AI features.

    Roughly 3 years ago now, I purged Windows from my systems and run Debian instead. It’s so nice actually having control over my own computer again.

    Fuck Microsoft.
