Do something that will make them laugh and enjoy themselves.

I gave a seminar once that ended with a demonstration of the terminal, ssh, and nginx. I had everyone go to the url where I was hosting a hello world. I killed the server over ssh and told them to refresh the page. Nothing there. I swapped the page, turned it back on, and told them to refresh the page again. I Rick Rolled them. They all laughed. It may not have been the most informative talk, I didn’t really ‘teach’ them anything, but I got some good questions afterwards.

Be creative and make it fun and they will come to you.

Not enough money for Lockheed Martin et. al.

Cops don’t need to execute people’s pets. They have bullet proof vests with steel chest plates, riot shield and metal clubs, tazers that pump 10,000 volts into ‘suspects’. The list goes on and on. But people need to train their fucking dogs. Half of them might as well work for the police.

You want something done? You march into someone’s office. And when I say march, I mean march.

You could turn it off and turn it back on every X period of time, but that doesn’t guarantee something doesn’t go wrong in between. It sounds like you don’t have alot of data relatively speaking. Is there a reason not to keep it on your present machine and do the above? Cost? IIRC you can get a 1 tb m.2 for under $150.

TIL Thank You

There’s often the ‘security vs. convenience’ tradeoff, but for most people you have both sides with Bitwarden over KeePass.

Bitwarden is undoubtedly more convenient. If you can create an account, you can use it. I have a family account, and have both of my parents using it. The love it now, but given the friction to get them there in the first place, it would impossible to get them on KeePass. Especially because they wanted their passwords on all devices.

Regardless of using Vaultwarden or KeePass, you need to have quite a bit of expertise to self host. And you are trusting your own ability to secure your attack surface. I’m sure many if not most in this thread can, but it would take me quite a while to convince myself I have. I would much rather trust security professionals.

Somewhat, although, potentially related. Have you seen Bitwarden’s git repos? It is immaculately organized.

Consistent, clear naming convention. There is literally one called ‘self-host’. If you put that much effort into keeping your code that useable/available/auditable etc. Oh yea. I’m going to trust you to handle security for me

Yes. That’s true. Not to be argumentative, does KeePass have the features that are paywalled by Bitwarden?

Can you flip the switch so to speak?

Why KeePassXC over Bitwarden or VaultWarden?

We are not worthy!

You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press ‘mark as read’. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox

Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That’s what it is there for.

If you are an expert, why are you asking pee ons like us?

Literally cut the cord for them. Seriously though. If they are happy with it and can afford it, I’d just leave it alone

My mom uses them for dog poop too

Email management. Like at all. Set up filters and use the archive. There is a key to do that. And holy fuck 2432 unread emails? You should be ashamed of yourself

Excuse me. It’s American cheese food product to you. You uncultured… I mean it uncultured…

Alacritty. Alacritty. Alacritty. And did I mention Alacritty? (I’m just counting how many I have open atm)

Got Liz and Dick Cheney
