smileyhead , 5 months ago to selfhosted in Self hosted open source simultaneous multiuser password safe with .deb or .rpm and an end user webui/android app

Vaultwarden is simpler to selfhost implementation of Bitwarden server fully compatible with it’s apps.

ArchLinux have the server in official repos.

For Debian (.deb) I have found this unofficial repo: github.com/gvtulder/vaultwarden-debBe mindful it suggests stupid installation method by downloading and executing the install.sh script directly, you may want to read it yourself before install.

For .rpm I haven’t find any repositories that are actively maintained, but you may have more luck.

So nothing to keep an eye on considering an overwhelming amount of cons of Bluesky.

I am from Mastodon / ActivityPub bubble. Can someone explain me the benefits of Bluesky / AT protocol?

Same can be said for someone using Linux for years and switching to Windows. Not all tools are there, habits needs to change.

I think people commening under posts like that mostly know that switching operating system is not the same as changing desktop wallpaper. They are not saying it’s easy, just that it’s easier for most than they think.

Just because some group is more in need of some feature, why limit this feature to just them?

Lyft made a system of saving someone’s gender and searching by gender. And then instead of a toggle called “search drivers based on my gender”, created “search only for woman drivers”. This is the pure sexism, not people complaining about including everyone.

Will I be able to export/import a PassKey from a device?

Hmm, maybe you’re right :P. But the point is the second half.

smileyhead , 5 months ago to technology in Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off

It is only a suggestion. Like, if a gatekeeper wants to actually become open and adopt a protocol here we are showing you the path. But Apple is not like that, they would do absolute minimum and propably even less.

As if Play Store + App Store duopoly was not enough of a headacke for everyday living, now I would need to explain myself of not using iMessage or Google Messages.

This choice is just in theory. Like Cory Doctorow said, you and your close friend circle cannot agree where to eat launch today, how the heck are you going to agree on which chat app to switch to? I got my choice and deleted Facebook, no looking back, but guess what? I missed A LOT of information from my collage including many meetings.

With this law, people would no longer need to bother any of their friends to install anything, they could start switching one by one to what they like.

Messaging sevices 😅

XMPP had more features than RCS even when RCS was being created and was actively developed for all those years unlike RCS. It also much simpler to implement and you don’t have to be cellular provider to have a server.

DVDs are still not bad if someone really wants to buy a movie. Cheaper than BluRay and with much weaker DRM. Video is very low quality in today’s standards, but bitrate and autio quality is better than any streaming.

I know a nice comparason, faxes. Imagine a fax 2.0 protocol released just before sending documents by email become normal that do not got adapted, but all of a sudden Google start promoting it as nudging Apple to adapt it. Advertised as a better quality, faster fax, with (yet ro standardize) encryption.

An ideal phone:

• Fairphone 4/5 like build
• Unlocking the bootloader without asking manufacturer for the code
• Access to the flashing and pairing tools from the factory to eliminate bricking
• U-boot, Coreboot or similar sane bootloader
• (Close to) mainline Linux support for the components, to enable “lifetime” updates and OS freedom
• Optional: headphone jack and SD card slot
