Been a longtime user of Bitwarden (free, and over the last year paid). It’s a straightforward/good but a bit boring UI, connects very well and easily into browser, phone etc. Works well, highly recommended, and having 2FA on paid version is awesome.
Been trying out Proton Pass for the last few days since I already pay for Proton Unlimited. It’s got a good UI and so far it’s been working well in Firefox and on my phone. It’s much better integration with Simple Login features so I like the slightly more seemless sign-up ability. It’s not 100% feature parity with Bitwarden paid though.
Bottom line - I prefer proton pass as a heavy proton user already BUT if I just wanted a standalone password manager, Bitwarden is probably better. Both are good options though, and competition is good.
I was just about to ask this too. I think boring is better than complicated, Especially for something you use everyday and that too, on autopilot a significant amount of time.
I have been asking myself this same question. I like the general look and feel of kbin better, but have been drifting more toward Lemmy. The interface has been easier to use for some things like checking in on the communities/magazines I’ve subscribed to. I’ve also noticed missing entries on kbin when viewing the same community threads. Not sure what that is.
No extra tooling, no symlinks, files are tracked on a version control system, you can use different branches for different computers, you can replicate you configuration easily on new installation.
As a mostly windows user, I’ve tried a few times, using various distributions. When buying my last pc and installing a popular linux distribution, it did not recognise my network card at all. Researching online told me I had to compile the drivers myself, since my distri did not have any shipped with it yet. …which is pretty hard, having no internet access because of the network card not working. To be fair, that was ~8 years ago.
For non-tech users, I feel like some parts are still pretty hard to diagnose. If an issue arises you mostly have to touch the command line and I can understand people being scared of it, having to edit plain text files, or type and enter commands that aren’t descriptive, much less finding the right command by guessing. It certainly improved, with GUIs being available for most stuff, but if you want something specific, is still feels pretty rough on the edges sometimes, from the eyes of a normal user.
If you mostly need your basic apps, like browser, some office apps or a music player it works great, though.
IMHO driver issues are not normally a problem anymore. I have a ton of random USB stuff plugged into my Ubuntu desktop and it all just works. Like USB display adapters and studio interfaces. My nivida card works fine too w steam for gaming.
I had a bad time with ubuntu 18 lts and Bluetooth. Neither bluez nor the other one (forget which) would recognise the controller in my mobo. Tried the man pages. Searched high and low. Asked for help on the forums - got nothing. Decided to never again try using Linux for my workstation. I’m perfectly happy to use it to run my scripts, daemons and containers on a dedicated box, but there’s just no upside for my games and work machine.
Bluetooth. I had the same issue, just the other way around, with Windows 11. The Bluetooth option would just disappear, and only rarely re-appear after many restarts until I locked/shut off the laptop. But it always worked fine with Mint, so I know it wasn’t hardware issue.
Lemmy is literally made by tankies. lemmy.world is filled with /politics types.
Im a right winger, and Im used to the weird opinions, but it feels concetrated here. Like today, I said that schools shouldn’t keep secrets from parents. Got heavily downvoted for it, and a bunch of replies.
OK - So do you think bad parents should get 100 of a child’s private thoughts / information simply because they are guardians?
What is the copy / paste answer for that?
Edit: for what it’s worth, if my kids are afraid to tell me something so personal, that’s a me issue. It means that I haven’t built my relationship with them well enough for them to trust me to be a safe and secure person and I have lost the privilege of their private thoughts / information.
But that’s just me, taking personal responsibility rather than expecting that level of trust without putting the effort in. Maybe you expect to have full authoritarian control of your own children, and that’s your MO.
That’s because you were supporting a policy that explicitly permits an action that can lead to children being harmed. When somebody outs another person as being LGBTQ+ it can fuck up their lives hard. Teachers and councilors shouldn’t be able to do that. It is a policy that directly undermines the trust students have in their teachers and councilors.
It’s my right to disown any queer children I may or may not have, and it’s the school’s duty to help. I presume that’s the opinion of the people downvoting you.

I could never be so proud to be so hateful. And I thought the republican party claimed to be the party of personal responsibility, and therefore, the responsibility to provide for your children no matter what?
I presume that’s the opinion of the people downvoting you.
conservatives have been scapegoating assorted minorities and disempowered people since the Industrial Revolution. The hate’s baked in! Might as well put it on the label.
And I mind the downvotes, because they’re indicative of bigots. Fun to see who they are from kbin, though.
This is only true if the proxy can understand the application layer of the backend (eg. HTTP). For TCP/UDP based proxy, you only get “X connected to Y” type of logs, which isn’t very useful to debug an application.
The way I read this either their password reset infr is compromised, your email is compromised, or they did some social engineering w/ a support technician.

I’m not going to lie, this was the reason I slept on the game for so long. What finally got me to pick it up was when somebody told me that it has the same replayability issue(?) as Subnautica, where once you’ve played through it for the first time you are never again going to have that experience with it on future playthroughs.
Ive seen so many posts by people who trashed the game after not even getting to the start of the time loop, calling it a bad walking sim with nothing to do.
Modern games have programmed people to be incurious and intellectually lazy
I agree that a lot of modern games hold the hand too much, but I found Outer Wilds to be the opposite for me, too obtuse and open to get a grip on the gameplay loop. If you dig that, more power to you, for me it was too much.
I know games get compared to puzzles often, but Outer Wilds for me was experienced like completing an actual jigsaw puzzle. At first the pieces were a scattered mess on the table. Before I could make any appreciable progress, I had to pause and flip over each piece right side up and take in the whole picture. This is initially when I bounced off it too.
But when I came back with fresh eyes, I picked a corner to focus on and the pieces started to fit together. Once you get some footing, like a real jigsaw, it starts to snowball as the bigger picture takes shape.
I tried outer wilds on gamepass. I went in blind knowing absolutely nothing. At first I thought the graphics made it look like a generic unity indie game. I didn’t like how the jumping worked. I was so close to closing the game but I figured “I haven’t even gotten past the tutorial. I should at least give it a try.”
Oh man. The second you complete the tutorial and you are set free to play I had the best “oh holy shit” moment I’ve had in years. It’s still not everyone’s cup of tea but I absolutely loved it. I hope they make a second.
I gave it the honest try myself and just didn’t have fun. I went to a couple different planets, died in some weird gravity reversing situation a couple times, died to the loop a few times, etc. It was neat but wasn’t for me. I can see how people would get really into it though.
Same. I tried once, bounced off because I just hated how the ship flew. Gave it another honest shot recently, found a couple of the explorers but really wasn’t enjoying it. Ended up watching the rest in a Let’s Play. Honestly not a bad way to experience it if the gameplay is just not vibing with you.
It’s surprising because “ancient progenitor civilization” is one of my favourite tropes in media, but this one really just did not do it for me.
I think I only saw a trailer when it was announced. It looked kina horrible to be honest, but after reading this I’m imagining it like one of those games that are kind of bad by usual standards and that you can’t really recommend to anyone like you would recommend any other game, but that is just so unique and special in its own way that it sticks with you. Something like Pathologic maybe, but without the depression
I was a kid and that year my birthday fell on Thanksgiving. The big plan was to go out to see the St. Louis Blues play (when Wayne Gretzky was playing!). Well my 2 year older brother had a meltdown how I wasn’t worthy of bring along and he should go. My asshole dad, who never liked me, did just that. He took my brother, on my birthday, to see hockey’s greatest player.
I don’t talk to either of them for unrelated reasons but that was a shit birthday.
KDE, but it seems I soft-broke it as well while installing after regular Gnome Ubuntu. Now I’m installing Kubuntu on my laptop and will try out any other distro on a new SSD I bought for my desktop.
As others pointed, doing stuff in a rush and blindly using guides and pasting commands makes everything more difficult. No matter how robust or good the UI is lol
Yeah it has been my experience that, even though it is technically possible to swap DEs in an install or even have multiple installed at once, they don’t seem to be designed for it, and they will start to fight. I once installed Cinnamon on Pop!_OS alongside their funky in-house implentation of Gnome, and Flatpak stopped working.
This is the solution. I reverse proxy from a digitalocean droplet running haproxy which sends traffic via send-proxy-v2, then I set the tunnel subnet as a trusted proxy ip range on traefik which is what haproxy hits through the tunnel, which causes traefik to substitute in the reverse proxied original ip so all my apps behind traefik see the correct public IP (very important for things like nextcloud brute force protection to work)
I was under the impression that it’s mostly Raspberry Pi stuff out of stock nowadays, and similar boards from Odroid and Orange Pi are easier to find? I see both of those in stock at Amazon right now, though I don’t know the exact models you want.
