@fireshell@lemmy.world avatar

You can install Vaultwarden instead of Bitwarden. Differences between Vaultwarden and Bitwarden by reference.

InverseParallax ,

Strongly second vaultwarden, covets so many cases for me.

boothin ,

Is it just me or does that "comparison" make no sense for this thread. It's mostly comparing vaultwarden to the cloud version of bitwarden, not the self hosted version. It only mentions the self hosted version in passing. It doesn't do anything to help someone choose between vaultwarden and self hosted bitwarden

innercitadel ,

The article honestly reads like it was written by an AI tool.

Also recommend vault warden its what I've been using for the past year since lastpass dropped the ball.

It has entries for totp, notes, and you can add more fields as needed. Ive been really happy with it

keyez ,

Not sure why someone would. Bitwarden provides their own self-host repos and docs and is working on a unified container instead of docker-compose scripts for their production stack.

I’ve been using their stack for the last 6 years and only issues I’ve ran into were my fault. Also tested their container and will be switching to that soon.

Im1Random ,

Don’t you have to pay to use premium features on your own server with their official software? With Vaultwarden you get all premium features unlocked for free on an infinite amount of devices.

keyez ,

Yes that is true but $10/year for premium is not bad, I donate that much to separate projects per year

BlackSpasmodic ,

This is my exact scenario and thinking

Corkyskog ,

I like the other idea of finding posts about Lemmy and awarding those. Or if you have Alts make a post. Award the post, use an alt. Use that free gold to award another until you run out of gold awarding your own posts about going to Lemmy.

MrShankles OP ,

I had some from awards I had gotten in the past. I also did buy some to try and secretly award my wife on one of her posts (I was just trying to be a sweet at the time. She did find out. It was still sweet)

But I also deleted an account that had some coins without thinking about it… cause it didn’t matter. Main point though; fuck them

I'd wager a large chunk of awards given out are through the free coins they'd give away/coins gotten from your post being gilded.

fubo , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in Why aren't there more worker co-ops?

It’s easier to get loans or investment if you can offer ownership of the business or its assets as collateral or equity. That’s easier to do with concentrated private ownership than with a business that starts as a cooperative with shared ownership. So there is a structural¹ bias in favor of concentrated ownership and away from cooperative ownership when starting a new business.

In some successful worker-owned businesses, the business started as a traditional private endeavor and then converted to worker-owned through the deliberate choice of the founders & workers. For instance, the Cheese Board Collective here in Berkeley started as a privately owned cheese shop which was then sold to its workers a few years later. It’s been a cooperative since 1971.


¹ That is, the system can have this bias, regardless of whether the individuals making up the economy have this preference.

oiez OP , (edited )

The loan part makes a lot of sense, much easier for a bank to deal with a single person rather than a whole cooperative. Funnily enough, the Cheeseboard and Arizmendi were the two co-ops I was thinking of when I made this post. I was just musing about how in the Bay Area practically every small business has all the trappings of progressive politics (the endless signs, inclusivity, supporting various causes) but so few actually put their money where there mouth is and organize into co-ops.

Arsisaria ,

Perhaps it’s worth pointing out that progressive liberalism and worker cooperatives are not as aligned as you might believe, but that’s probably too off topic. Worth doing some reading about though.

JJROKCZ , to mildlyinfuriating in Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts

Because they’re cheap and look “modern/futuristic” so shit manufacturers love them. I have also used electrical tape on power strips, chargers, smoke detectors, etc

Dnn ,

That and your average electrical engineer will consider an LED useful that signals the device has power.

Most probably then don’t consider where the device is actually used. In a well-lit office space that LED doesn’t annoy anyone.

You could probably just skip the whole anxiety issue by buying a portable battery and using that whenever you're low. If your phone is fully charged at the start of the day and you burn through the whole battery and a mid range portable battery you're using your phone quite excessively and may need to figure something more reliable out.

PixelPassport ,
@PixelPassport@chat.maiion.com avatar

Yeah this is a great tip, you can get some that can fast charge your phone and plug directly into the wall. You can use it as a normal phone charger and then unplug it and bring it with you for 10,000mAh on the go

DogMuffins ,

I bought a 20,000mAh portable battery. My partner hogged it from day 1, so I ordered another straight away.

Honestly a big battery is so liberating.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA ,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I like the 10 amp ones because the 20 amp ones are too large for flying carryon (or they used to be, they might have changed that law)

Yeah I started looking at carry on restrictions about a year ago. Everywhere in south East Asia/ Australia seems to be 24,000mAh IIRC.

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I agree completely. This is not as big of a deal as some people are making it. Charging a phone takes VASTLY more energy than a charging a car. Whoever complains about the former is being more than a bit ridiculous and really needs to rethink their priorities.

Sev ,

Yeah i’m still trying to settle on a default filter. I also have all popular meme communities blocked so maybe this is why, as the bulk of the content is well, memes.

If Lemmy’s had a million posts, i’m struggling to see em? My instance is pretty open and has had no defedding dramas AFAIK? (is there a way to see this?)

I started at BeeHaw because they have a lot of cool communities. I didn’t want to write an essay (I’m exaggerating …a little) to sign up for an account so I ended up on sh.itjust.works.

Haha same. I started at beehaw but am having a hard time manually adding communities that I want to keep in that feed since they aren’t onfederated instances. So I moved to sh.ithust.works and reddthat.

I’ll probably keep beehaw, I like a lot of what it has to offer and it’s cool for it to be a specific corner for me. But one of the others will probably become my default home

If anyone wants to help out, feel free to reach out, but I hope to have something ready to release soon.

The idea with my version is that it’ll search as much of Lemmy / the fediverse as it can and you can select the preferred instance that you want to open any link with.

If Kbin federates with the “seed” Lemmy server it’ll pick up the posts that way, but at the moment you’ll only be able to open links to Lemmy instances.

In the future I hope to have it working with Kbin and others as well.

@qisope@lemmy.world avatar

If you are looking to return relevant, well ranked results based on freeform queries you’d be better indexing into something like elasticsearch. Otherwise you’ll be reinventing solutions to well understood problems, like stemming as a very basic example.

marsara9 ,
@marsara9@lemmy.world avatar

For the initial release the search is still fairly basic, but A LOT better than the built in search here.

Right now I just look for IF the individual words match ANY of the words in the post title or body and then rank based on the number of upvotes that the post has.

Future versions may look at using elastic search, etc… But for MVP it just looks for the number of hits + the score of the post as I assume the higher the score the more trustworthy the post, and obviously the more matches that to your query the more relevant the post is.

Shadow , to nostupidquestions in Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

100% of the internet depends on it, and 90% of technical people can’t be bothered to learn how it works and understand it. Partly because they only touch it once every 5 years. They get what they need done but don’t understand why it worked, so it ends up feeling like black magic to them.

skullgiver ,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

The worst part isn’t even that they don’t understand it, but that they think they know everything about it after learning the basics. Suddenly you get people blocking port 53/udp “because DNS uses UDP” and people using .dev and .local as internal domain names.

Still not as misunderstood as NTP, though.

Big_Boss_77 ,
AndrewZabar ,

If anyone you know claims to have expertise in the computer field and doesn’t know everything about DNS (there’s not much to know) then those people are clueless and by no means are they experts.

skullgiver ,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

there’s not much to know

But there is. Between DNSSEC and EDNS you need to stay on top of stuff or your assumptions may be wrong. many supposed facts about DNS were assumptions by textbook authors that were invalidated years later, and that’s with the stuff that complies with the standards.

DNS from the 20th century was simple modern DNS really isn’t.

thermal_shock ,

what’s wrong with .local?

skullgiver ,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

It’s fine to use if you’re using it for Bonjour/mDNS (which is enabled by default on basically everything these days). If not, any computer in your network can take on a .local domain of their choosing and your computers will happily resolve it before hitting the DNS server, or you may end up in a race between normal DNS and mDNS. Or you can manually disable mDNS on every machine and hope nothing else causes conflicts, I guess.

If you need a TLD for fake internal domains, use .internal; that has recently been reserved for internal use and won’t end up in any standard protocols. There’s also a weaker blacklist list that’s part of the gTLD application process which includes .local, but that’s not necessarily set in stone.

AndrewZabar ,

90% of technical people can’t be bothered to learn how it works and understand it

Playing real fast and loose with the term “technical people.” If you mean just in general people familiar with and comfortable with tech, yeah that’s fine. If you mean those who work or hobby in the IT industry, well then they’re not very good at their jobs and probably should not have those jobs.

thermal_shock , (edited )

used to feel this way about dns until I setup my pihole. I love how dns controls so much behind the scenes.

stupidcasey ,

DNS isn’t supposed to control that much PIhole is a hack, it would be more accurate to say PIhole controls so much behind the scenes. DNS is supposed to do exactly this domain.com->1.2.3.4 nothing more and nothing less anything else is a hack when cloud flair runs all your traffic traffic through a proxy that is them hacking the system domain.com->change-1.2.3.4

Sordid , to technology in Blocking AI bots from Microsoft, others has been “pain in the a**”: Reddit CEO | Huffman says companies must pay to scrape Reddit data even though Reddit itself relies on free, user-generated content
@Sordid@lemmy.world avatar

The enshittification cycle:

Phase one, attract users by providing a good service.
Phase two, once the users are locked in, squeeze them for all they’re worth by selling them to business customers (advertisers and/or data buyers).
Phase three, once the business customers are locked in, squeeze them for all they’re worth by threatening to deny them access to the users on whom they now depend.

Spez seems to think Reddit has the pull to make phase 3 happen. I rather doubt it, but we’ll see.

My guess is that phase three will work for a while. But I think you’re right that eventually they are going to drive that thing into the ground.

If he really had balls he’d restrict access to the site and improve the built-in search engine.

If reddit’s own search worked well nobody would care. Engines like DDG even have bang codes that send you to a site’s own engine. So instead of having to add “site:reddit.com” to the search on DDG I’d just add “r!” and it would end up being the same thing. IF the internal search didn’t suck.
