Bitwarden can be fully self hosted, I’m doing it. My Bitwarden server doesn’t (and can’t) talk to them at all as it has no way to access the internet. They know nothing about my deployment except that I signed up for a free license key.

How the fuck does Hot Topic even have 350 million customers?

Turning around in circles maybe.

Welcome to the internet! Half my lemmy community blocklist is to keep cartoon titties off my feed.

Yep, I still use 5.666 on Windows, but I use Windows very infrequently anymore. I switched to Linux as my primary OS earlier this year and only use Windows for games that don’t work right in Linux. And thanks to Valve that’s becoming pretty rare these days.

I haven’t tried getting Winamp to work in Wine but there’s probably a guide out there somewhere! Good suggestion, thanks.

It did an excellent job of managing the hordes of totally legitimate MP3’s we all had back in the day, and did so with an aplomb that nothing else seemed to manage. Really, its playlist and library management was top notch.

This is why I’m still on the eternal search for a replacement. Library management was really, really good in Winamp. I use Strawberry these days and it’s absolutely great at playing stuff but the playlist management is just ‘good enough’.

If I was in your shoes I’d probably build my own hypervisor box and rent colo space for it. Strictly because your requirement to migrate VMs to your own system later is more trouble than it’s worth.

I don’t know for sure but I’d guess you would pay less for colo than renting someone’s server for a year or two. Renting bare metal is stupid expensive.

Looks like I picked the right year to switch to Linux on my primary pc.

I self host Bitwarden and it’s free to self host. You only have to pay for a license if you need multiple users or want to use their cloud services, I believe. My instance is 100% self hosted and completely isolated from the internet, and it works fine.

I self host it because I self host everything, but for credential managers I would never trust any 3rd party closed source utility or cloud service. Before I used a password manager I tracked them all manually with a text file and a TrueCrypt volume. I think giving unrelated credentials to 3rd parties is asking for trouble - they definitely don’t care as much about them as you do!

If you’re going to self host any credential manager, make sure you have an appropriate backup strategy, and make sure you have at least one client synced regularly so that you can still access passwords if the server itself dies for some reason.

Don’t forget the lesser known Sam Shiftman and Sam Ctrlman.

There are plenty of red states that have started to censor what kids can be taught in school and what books libraries can have, and when they don’t succeed they just shut the library down. It’s been all over the news for the last few years so I’m surprised you haven’t noticed.

That’s censorship of the worst kind. Free access to knowledge is the foundation of freedom. Without education, the populace becomes much easier to control by those that seek to do so through nefarious means.

Burn, baby, burn!

Oxymoron. “More secure spyware”

Awww is the internet being mean to you again, ya weirdo?

I had no idea waiting could be ‘tenacious’.

Well that’s cool as shit, I didn’t even know that existed. I’ll be switching. Thanks!

I stopped using it after the third time it just wholesale made up powershell cmdlets that don’t exist.

Until it has fidelity it’s just a toy.

What the hell is Microsoft doing to VS Code? Are they going to REQUIRE copilot or something? If I have to give it up I’ll be sad.

Model collapse is just a euphemism for “we ran out of stuff to steal”
