It doesn’t have to be free, but it can’t be set up so they can take it away from me. I self-host Vaultwarden to get that right now. Even if they break client compatibility, I still have the web vault with access to my passwords. As soon a

Who gets to set the definition and what happens if they’re acting in bad faith? A consultant can’t redefine themself as a gift accepting advice coach to avoid taxes. Consumers always take the short end of it too. Part of forced arbitratio

As soon as they break compatibility with the official clients, it becomes much tougher. Even though the current versions can be forked, the whole system is set up to work against any kind of grassroots effort to maintain an open source v

How does the GPL licensing affect future versions of the open source clients? I use Vaultwarden right now. Part of the reason was that I wanted something where there was a minimum guarantee. In the case of Vaultwarden, I can always fall b

Abuse handling is a mess. AFAIK, the registries, registrars, and ICANN all share responsibility in terms of mitigation. There’s no consistency.

I would love to see it happen, but an internal service vs something exposed to the internet can be challenging. I think services like Cloudflare could play a role if they were able to provide some kind of forward auth and preferential treat

I'd like to have touch to sign from a YubiKey or similar. The whole idea of trusting the cloud to manage credentials on your behalf seems like a mistake.

All accounts and that are important to kids have are being tied to their real identity and they won’t be able to get a new one if they’re banned. The potential for social engineering is insane. All of these ID laws are going to make it mor

I think all the identity verification schemes should start with the beneficial owners of companies. Governments have been lobbied to allow complete anonymity for the wealthy that own businesses doing questionable things while regular peopl

Apple has a fix for that. Background uploads from apps like Immich are tied to how often you open the app. So if you’re not constantly opening the app you rely on for sync, it’ll silently fail and you won’t notice. So 3rd party apps feel

What's up with the reviews? It's pure spam and the 1-star review is completely hidden.

I’m guessing it’s all the same effect as CGNAT exit IPs. You need to get big enough to be unblockable. That’s why everyone is trying to get in on the VPN game. This new reCAPTCHA setup is probably a good indicator that big tech wants to s

Does the app function as a proxy? I always assumed that wasn’t possible.

I saw a lot of people get told they were too dumb to understand how the app stores or Adobe subscriptions were a good value proposition. A lot of people rolled in the mud and now they’re upset their clothes are dirty. If it didn’t affect t

This is really the most important thing for me. I don’t want to be obligated by law to use some identity or attestation service tied to big tech. I might be ok with my bank handling it because they already require ultimate trust, but no

It might just be frustrated young people. They're getting squeezed real hard by a system that was set up to put them on an impossible trajectory before they were even born. You can see the divide everywhere. People with lots of money

It'll be the same for Canada. We're already seeing satanic panic style action against things like TP-Link networking equipment and Hikvision cameras. Funny how those are a couple of the brands that can run 100% locally without a

You don’t need to. As long as the dumb majority goes along with it, your options are to capitulate or get locked out of society.

This happens to my family :-( I host an Immich server for us. They don’t want Google Photos syncing and they know to watch out for the dark patterns, but, eventually, they come over with Google Photos syncing. The other day my mother came

What? Where can you register online? In Canada you basically have to hire a lawyer and the wait time for issuance is crazy. The backlog peaked at a 4 year wait after Covid. I’d love to be able to register an trademark online.

People get tied to their registrar by using their DNS or other services. It's a mistake, but it's extremely common. So if you have someone using GoDaddy, and everything is working, how do you sell them on the idea of migrating DN

by donmcronald 5mo ago
Domain registration and all other services should be separate. You don't want DNS, web hosting, mail hosting, etc. ToS applied to your registrar account because it increases the risk of the account getting locked.

I don't like the way remote editing works with plugins. IIRC, the remote agent pulls the plugins from the connecting client. I get why it's done like that, but I'd way rather have it go the opposite direction. I want a se
