Vor den Attacken in Frankreich konnte man das von mir aus noch mit viel Naivität erklären. Dass man die Dinger danach aber immer noch am Netz gelassen hat, ist an bornierter Fahrlässigkeit schwer zu überbieten.

Kann ich aus eigener Erfahrung bislang nicht bestätigen. Habe erst kürzlich 'ne kleine Firma dorthin migriert. Bislang keinerlei Probleme, Logs sind auch sauber.

If it really is that smart, perhaps it could explain to Sam the difference between a peer reviewed breakthrough and a product launch.

911, I’d like to report a murder.

Wie der Volksverpetzer richtig sagte: Merz ist der absolut falsche Mann zum falschen Zeitpunkt. Leider sehe ich aber in Merz’ Partei auch keine/n, der es viel besser könnte. Ein Rücktritt (eine “ausMerzung”?) brächte dem Land wenig: Die rennen gefühlt alle mit Überzeugung in die falsche Richtung.

I set up KeePass yesterday and it works great, but without a server I’ve just been replacing the file per device as I make changes.

If I understand, with syncthing installed on each device I can point KeePass from each of my PCs/laptops/phone to the directory on my laptop server? This will also work remotely?

There are several misunderstandings here. Let me clear this up:

While there is a server-based version of Syncthing, you need no server to get all the syncthing goodness! Syncthing is designed to work peer-to-peer. Just hook up, say, your mobile phone and your PC and the folder(s) you’ve shared will be in sync - no server needed.

As for “working remotely”: while Syncthing can do that, I’d advise sticking to the default configuration, which means “LAN only”. As soon as both devices are on the same network and “see” each other, they’ll sync. This will cover most use cases anyhow. If you’re out and about, make changes to your database on your phone and then return home, your phone will talk to your stationary PC in the background and update the DB. For the odd case where changes are made on both devices, Syncthing will create a conflict file, i.e. you’ll have both changed databases and can merge them so you won’t lose either change. (Syncthing even supports versioning files, but that is for later.)

Da gab’s doch kürzlich einen stramm-rechten Wirtschafts-IT-Studenten, der sich beklagte, Frauen gingen auf Distanz zu ihm, wenn er ihnen sein verrottetes Innerstes zeigt. Hier, hab ihn gefunden:

Herzlichen Dank an /u/RoflmasterBigPimp@feddit.org für seinen herrlichen Kommentar. Eine Suche nach den Worten “DU GARTENGERÄT!” brachte mich sofort wieder zum Artikel. xD

In diesen Wochen hat die IT-Abteilung im rechten Lager aber wirklich die Windeln voll: Ob AfD-E-Mails oder Nius-Kundendaten - überall troppt unten die braune Soße raus…

“Oligopoly company that came late to the party warns of risks of oligopolies (that affect it)”

When companies can effectively buy their way out of the courts, they just consider this the cost of doing business, and will continue to hurt millions of people who do not have the means to sue them.

laughs about

Trump

Here’s your relevance. Is it highly relevant? No, it’s not. But particularly in times where paedo fascists seem to dominate every feed, it’s good to have a little laugh sometimes to remind ourselves that all this doomscrolling isn’t healthy. That, while despicable, these people are not evil itself. That they’re pathetic little parasites that will, eventually, be removed.

As long as under-educated people are on the drip feed of oligarch-owned media (be they “social” or not), they’ll run into whichever direction the algorithm or the editors push them.

AfD may be cosplaying “countrymen” and “nationalists”, but large parts are just Russian assets. They don’t think; they just cash in, all the while decrying that the “corrupt elites” are betraying the interests of the country. It’s mindblowing that people fall for this shit. But they do.

+1 for a lot of the things you said. Adding to that:

Vaultwarden may be open source, but it puts the onus of hosting it securely on you. Whenever you think about putting something on the internet (self-hosted or not): always assess the potential fallout in case of compromise. And having your password manager breached could easily be catastrophic, costing you a lot of time, nerves and potentially even money. That’s why, in my opinion, password managers do not belong on the internet, neither commercial nor self-hosted.

Thus I’d strongly advise to go the KeePassXD (PC) / KeePassDX (Android) + Syncthing route. Points speaking in favour of this solution:

• entirely offline - all of your keys are in an encrypted database file on your device, and thus inaccessible to any online attacker.
• simple, yet feature rich: KeePassXC can do a lot of what the “big guys” can - TOTP, Passkeys, built-in SSH agent, auto-fill, etc.
• independence: unlike Bitwarden (which keeps you reliant on a subscription with a for-profit company) and Vaultwarden (which is maintained by only a handful of guys on Github), KeePass is a reasonably large project that is both impossible to enshittify and maintained by a large base of contributors.
• Syncthing still allows you to keep all of your devices in sync, in spite of the data being “offline” technically.

+1 for Nextcloud with calDAV and cardDAV for contact sync. Bonus points for self-hosting it (but again, think carefully which files you put on there).

As for the VPN, I’m currently still on Mullvad, but considering the switch to IVPN or Nym.

I know you’re being sarcastic. But for anyone coming here with a damaged irony sensor: no. Setting up a VPN comes at zero software costs (it’s all open source software, unless you’re keen on getting ripped off by some proprietary product) and a reasonably low cost in man hours for setting it up (we’re talking single-digit to low double-digit hours here).

Yeah. And VPN connections exist so maintenance and monitoring can take place without direct exposure. But alas…

It sure did look like that from the layout, but I thought it wise to hold back judgement on the source, given that I only had Firefox’ auto-translation, which can be very rough.

Admittedly, Nexcloud does try to be the everything app, and for several of those things, it naturally loses out to more specialised applications (e.g. photos vs. immich). Contacts and calendars, however, are such a no-brainers (particularly when run through card/calDAV, not the web apps) that I don’t see why I’d set up yet another service just for that.

Feel free to sell Baikal to me a little more, though! ;)

My thoughts exactly. There’s no real article behind that ad.nl link. Then there’s this loosely related link to the GOS mastodon post. And then there’s the broad claim in the title, which, unless OP can provide proper evidence, is entirely made-up bullshit. I use downvotes very sparingly here on Lemmy, but this disinformation piece deserves all the red it gets.

It depends what you want from this.

• LocalSend shines with single files that you specifically select.
• Syncthing is great for zero-hassle synchronisation of multiple files and even entire folders.

Personally, I prefer the latter because it’s much more powerful. Also, I’ve experienced issues with LocalSend and VPN usage.

Sneaky ad right there!

what would you want from a tool like this to trust it?

I’d need an AI disclosure first and foremost, for this looks vibecoded all the way to hell and back.
