Grok doesn’t “fight” anything.

For every crappy prompt you are aware of, there are hundreds of parts baked into it silently.

“anti-woke” expands to mean “anti-union” or “anti-democrat”. How would you ever know any better.

Do not trust LLMs, especially the one owned by a deranged man child who bought a social network expressly to push their ideology.

How do you protest when you can’t travel or eat because you can’t afford gas or food.

There are a LOT of people on the bottom right now who are trapped trying to keep the lights on.

Until the guns are at their door, they can’t be “distracted” from trying to survive, sadly.

Yo I want more options in the handheld PC space but that is ugly. They need to fix the grip design.

Hopefully MS can resist the urge to fill it with bloat and make it a streamlined Xbox device, and not a Win 11 style CoPilot/Recall nightmare.

More like complaining if a game company comes back to make your game worse after you paid.

“Yea I know you were enjoying Elden Ring and paid for it and host the multiplayer server yourself, but for reasons, all endgame content is going to require players to login and verify a subscription status to play online. Also greatsword have been depreciated and will be relaunched as a separate client: Elden Sword.”

This was stupid the first time they did it. I don’t know how they think it’s going to be better with a release LESS mainstream than the conclusion of the sequel trilogy, which had all eyes on it for awareness and still thos Fortnite thing whiffed for most people.

Lol, oh no bud this is your life now.

You are gonna be hated globally until you die.

I’m a fan of DDG still for now. But would love to hear your final decision and the logic behind it when you decide.

Broken clocks and all that.

Oh please please please break up at least one of these giant behemoths.

The headline feels like click bait. There is no reveal, TMobile is just working with their new COO. There’s no bigger problem.

At least you admit you are only there for jangling keys.

You would love early 2000s YA fiction. Have fun.

Was good until around 4pm. Now I’m expecting a ton of staff to be panicking tomorrow, expecting cuts.

Don’t know what to tell them yet. Corporate hasn’t been able to make a game plan because everything has been a reality show this past month, and US trade policy is a surprise!

Sorry, just needed to vent. I really hope no one, myself included, gets let go over this.

This is incredibly true. The ease of use I will admit got me to use other password managers in the past before I rethought my approach maybe 7 years ago. And any manager is better than the spreadsheet users will implement if we dont give them tools.

Absolutely. Like I said: it’s great software and they are doing all they can to mitigate the inherent risk it faces because it is one of their biggest attack surfaces. They do great work.

I’m saying I would just rather decouple passwords, and online sync, into two entirely separate sandboxes. For my purposes, I don’t need to centrally assign or manage my users passwords from the top down, the manager is a tool for them to use as they like, and they can store PID in there as well, so I shouldn’t have access in principle. I can reset the accounts I control, but I cannot unlock or recover their vault.

For a web managed service, through no fault of their own, there is a high likelihood Bitwarden will one day be vulnerable to a browser engine based zeroday at one point or another. And I have no doubt they will rapidly patch this. But it’s a matter of time. And bad actors will be constantly attempting to break this quietly.

My only point is, even if onedrive, or GDrive, syncthing, etc, were vulnerable to a similar zeroday, it’s not enough to compromise an encrypted vault file because even if an exploit grants access to the file, the KeePass vault management is still entirely separate from all online portions of the interaction, and an entirely different and separate exploit would be needed to exploit the database file if it was obtained, as the vault is not managed in browser.

So there is a much greater chance for me to be notified of a onedrive or syncthing vulnerability, and have time to update the services in my vault contents just in case, well before a brute force attack could (potentially) open it.

This has its own drawbacks, as if they do exfiltrate the file, they can use infinite brute force attacks to break any vault with low enough entropy, but a vulnerability in Bitwarden could expose similar if a bad actor managed to dump the contents.

There is no perfect solution, period. I just wager it’s less likely for two zero day exploits to overlap perfectly like that on both my enterprise file sync software and my publically unlisted, undocumented, and otherwise undetectable KeePass Vault file stored in an arbitrary location with an arbitrary name and extension.

Oh certainly. I just mean that in an extremely broad sense, Bitwarden adds 1 more threat vector by being an online service. As a metaphor, if presented with a safety deposit box in a bank, and a safety deposit box in a train station with CCTV, even if the latter is incredibly well defended it still carries more intrinsic risk by being accessible.

That’s all really. Bitwarden is great software. It being an online platform just has that inherent factor that a non-web solution doesn’t.

Aka, if there is a massive breach in webview or a critical fault in SSL cryptography, this can be exploited. And Bitwarden itself is an attack surface to exploit. But in an offline solution, the attack surface of a vault can only be exploited when you get back online, and somehow actively choose to expose this or have a breach. The reason I use onedrive for the work sync (privately I use syncthing) is it would take two massive simultaneous failures to have an exposure this way. The sync service would have to somehow expose the file to a bad actor, and the file itself would have to have an exploitable cryptographic flaw at the same time.

You can access it offline.

I do not mean to imply the One Drive is offline. It’s the syncing backend.

But if your internet is out, you can still open your vault and look up a router password, for example, because the vault is a file on your local machine.

I don’t understand the extreme love for Bitwarden. I understand it’s useful, but I want as few things with a webui and server instance as possible, especially passwords, the thing that should be most secure.

KeePass, vault saved into the user’s One Drive synced folder is sufficient. It’s secure, offline, and automatically makes backups. And migrates to the new system just by logging into One Drive.

Bitwarden and others worry me because they have a lot of exposed attack surface, comparatively, and require much more maintenance to keep secure imo. I don’t want to expose any of that to a portal or anything.

That said, I don’t hate Bitwarden, the bitwarden/vault warden software is incredibly solid for what it is.

I love the Futo Keyboard project, even paid for it. But their swipe typing support is absolutely hot garbage right now.

So, by this logic, Post-War Japan was not a sovereign state.

How a country must operate during wartime versus peace is extremely different. And the UK in WWII also issued bonds and took debt. Were they no longer sovereign?

That part of your argument is ridiculous. Ukraine is an independent nation with its own sovereignty and territorial authority.

The Administration: lol no, make me.

They don’t care what courts say and are openly disobeying orders, because no one in the enforcement apparatus has a spine to challenge this. The DC Police enforcing DOGE’s order over independent agencies is case and point. They are too worried about the pressure from the executive branch coming to bear on them that they are in effect assisting illegal actions.
