For me, that's not compelling. We all have different priorities.

If you're referring to their announcement last year about discontinuing meshnet, they've retracted that.

I know there are alternatives but why would I go to any effort to set them up when i have something that has worked exactly as I want it to for the last 2yrs? The cost of nordvpn is sufficiently low enough that I wouldn't switch to something just because it's free.

I've used NordVPN for a couple of years and never had reason to switch. None of it gets in my way, and it's just worked.

I'm sure others are just the same, but ive no reason to put in effort to change when I have a working solution.

Plus it's double effort cus I dont think anyone else does a meshnet alternative so I'd be setting up tailscale too.

Start at 1 and work your way up in increments of 1.

See you in about 100 years give or take a few decades.

I've had a bit of a tumble

[–] el_abuelo@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

I cannot, because it's not something I track. It's usually some site ive only ever visited that once, worked around their shit engineering, and moved on with my life. So it's not that specific sites don't work, it's that ive had to use Chrome or edge 6 times this year.

I can't remember a browser ever saying I needed chrome. Even Google Meet works fine...just functionality is reduced. A small price to pay for not giving Google the keys.

What browser do you use?

I'm getting a bit tired of website incompatibility with Firefox but when the alternative is Chrome, I'm sticking with FF.

Got a link? I'd love to get me one of those

That's not how people made money. That's what precipitated the crash. Shorting companies that were exposed would have been one route to make money - but as I said before, the smart piece there is in the timing not the mechanism. Shorting stock isnt difficult...Shorting it at the right time can be.

Judo is more focussed on throwing and grappling than it is on joint locks and holds, or "folding".

The more you know.

I'm going to move away from lastpass because the user experience is pretty fucking shit. I was going to look at 1pass as I use it a lot at work and so know it. However I have heard a lot of praise for BitWarden and VaultWarden on here and so probably going to try them out first.

My questions are to those of you who self-host, firstly: why?

And how do you mitigate the risk of your internet going down at home and blocking your access while away?

BitWarden's paid tier is only $10 a year which I'm happy to pay to support a decent service, but im curious about the benefits of the above. I already run syncthing on a pi so adding a password manager wouldn't need any additional hardware.
