donnachaidh,

The install script one hasn’t aged particularly well. Although I haven’t used the official one, so maybe it’s not up to IRC standards. Everything else though, totally on point. When is this from?

donnachaidh,

My understanding was that the browser vendor itself would be the attester. So if Google says it’s Google Chrome, it probably is. Unless you somehow reverse engineer how Google decides that it’s Google Chrome and spoof that or something…

Nah, nah, it was the International Phonetic Alphabet. Can’t have something like that on the 'murican internet.

But… If you claim you’re always wrong, that means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right, which mean you’re always wrong, which means you’re always right…

I’m not disagreeing about the result, Lemmy definitely feels less spammy/trolly, but either you or I have misunderstood something about registration. As far as I’m aware, any rate-limiting, proof of personhood, email verification, etc. is completely a per-instance thing. So all you’d need is an instance that’s permissive to get heaps of accounts. Or even if there aren’t any permissive ones (that haven’t been defederated), you could host a private instance, or sign up on multiple instances. However permissive Reddit is, I don’t think Lemmy fundamentally has the capability to be particularly restrictive.

I’d be on board with this, but as you say it’s a show of a community’s coordination. Are there any lemmy communities coordinating anything? I couldn’t see any in a brief search, but I very well might have missed something.

donnachaidh,

Do you understand the functioning of both interpreters, down to the CPU instructions? How the database you’re using performs those updates, or quickly finds your items? The precise function of the virtual DOM? TLS handshake protocol? If so, good on you, but you don’t need to know more than the surface level of any of these for a CRUD app. But these and other systems you use hold the raw power, and wielding them poorly could lead to bugs, or security or performance issues.

On the other side, whatever you do may seem mundane to you, but lighting a fire would seem mundane to a sorcerer the umpteenth time they’ve done so. A simple CRUD app could seem dramatic if you have no idea where you’d even start building one, which is the state the majority of people are in.

donnachaidh,

I have been using BitWarden, and it’s pretty good, but I’m shifting over to Keepass now, syncing the database with syncthing. Means I don’t have to trust they won’t be breached, but it is definitely a bit more of a faff to get set up. For anyone unsure, I would definitely recommend a managed service like BitWarden though. I got my sister on it, who would probably have a single password for everything otherwise, and she got the hang of it super quick.

donnachaidh,

If I were running a business and had to share passwords and control access to things for multiple users, that’s probably what I’d do, but all I need is a synced password storage. Self-hosting a server’s probably overkill for that.

Also, isn’t the vault itself encrypted? You shouldn’t have to encrypt extra to do a backup.

donnachaidh,

None of that is chromium. Vivaldi could have built that on top of Firefox, but didn’t. As to why Firefox is better, the very fact that it’s an alternative that is keeping up technically is a benefit. It’s less a ‘V-shaped engine’ monopoly and moreso a ‘V8 engine made by a specific company’ monopoly. They have far too much control over the direction of web standards. Much of what they are doing is actually good, but it should then be spread based on merit, rather than because they directly control almost the entire market.
