write a bash script that rsyncs your keepass database to your other devices and run it once in a while. i have seen way too many online password vaults get hacked to ever bother with them.

my keepass database has never once been hacked.

looking at you, every online password manager service.

this is similar to the reason why you shouldn’t enable Do Not Track in your browser: it’s simply ignored and it becomes another datapoint to fingerprint you.

seriously, lemmy is “leftist” but everyone’s so goddamn dumb and gullible, it is truly shocking sometimes. it’s like a fucking anti-leftist psyop with how easily users here fall for this shit.

He once had to have someone explain to him why he needed to immediately run back a post that was basically “but what if someone underage consents?” (To his credit, he did run it back)

not so fun fact: aaron schwartz had some similar, really weird views about this that he posted publicly, but that all got memory holed.

my jellyfin server continues to work if my internet is down. the choice is simple.

it becomes easier to understand when you look outside of your bubble for, like, a second.

if you want to try explaining to my eldery mother that lives 3000 miles away how to setup wireguard so she can access my jellyfin server on her smart tv, be my guest. oh you’ll just do it remotely? ok, explain to her how to install and setup vnc and forward the right ports so you can remote in, oh but she doesn’t want to watch on her laptop, she wants it on her tv. can’t vnc into that.

or you can say “install the plex app and i emailed you your login details.”

i’m a jellyfin user, but that’s why people continue to use plex.

i assume you’re too sober to get it right, then. dry drinks are not always bitter. plenty of dry wines aren’t bitter, they just aren’t sweet. the opposite of bitter is usually “smooth,” a term you have absolutely heard and accepted in that context.

i regularly get flamed by asking my fellow so-called (internet) leftists one piercing question: “how?” i’ve been called a nazi, maga, etc. because i want people to actually consider how they would go about implementing their big ideas.

it’s great to have big endgame ideas, it’s important to have a direction. but if all you have are the big endgame ideas and nothing else, you are simply not a serious person and you have a lot of political literacy you need to work on. being terminally online and jockeying with nothing but ideas is not praxis, it’s not even theory. it’s just attention whoring for updoots and likes.

they are talking about the vibe-coded software that your post is about. if that was difficult to understand, you shouldn’t be working on these projects.

yes, actually.

the one of the switches in my office controls one of the only outlets, which has a pc plugged into it. so yes, a zigbee smart bulb is the better option than just flipping the switch. it’s a single widget on my phone, and there’s a remote, and i can control it from my pc. it just runs off home assistant, there’s no internet involved, and i don’t even have to use the wifi for it.

i swear you people just invent difficulty out of nothing.

yeah, regular AOSP-likes that need you to manually flash them after support for your device is finally added are not particularly relevant compared to a security-focused fork that’s supported by several flagship phones at release. the latter can actually make it into the hands of the average person. the former, not so much. imagine trying to explain to your elderly mother how to flash lineage onto her phone.

a modern sidekick would go so hard, discord kids would absolutely love it.

i’m really tempted to get a clicks communicator if it doesn’t suck.

you’re right, but i need people to understand that this is simply not a workable solution for most people. the simple fact is if we want the average person to adopt more open source alternatives, it needs to improve usability even without their help. it’s not really enough to only cater to us power user nerds with “good enough,” and it doesn’t win hearts and minds to handwave complaints and tell people to come back with a patch.
