I started using SimpleLogin just before the acquisition so wasn't aware of how active development was prior to Proton. That said I don't believe they have added anything new in that time (a year now)?
Yeah. I mean, even if you did get targeted by someone they really don't want to waste their time on someone who is more privacy/security conscious. Thieves want easy targets.
I do pay for SimpleLogin and will continue to do so. The only place my actual proton email address is exposed is on SimpleLogin. Every site I use on the internet has its own alias. That's 350+ sites currently.
The only downside to a catchall, as I see it, is someone could just start creating any random email address knowing it will find your legitimate mailbox. Also sending as any of the aliases can be a pain.
I pay for the same but may go down to their free tier. After a purge of email and emails with larger attachments I'm down to less than 500mb. The only thing I dislike on the free tier is their automated signature to advertise proton. I hardly ever send emails though so not too much of an issue.
The next question is does anyone actually let you import passkeys? I don't think there is ☹️
I have a few keys in Bitwarden but before I go adding more I am going to play with Proton Pass. A lot of users were understandably annoyed when Bitwarden released passkey support but in such a limited manner.
I guess it's a bit like a bank card with a PIN. You go to pay for something and your card stores your credentials on it. To allow those credentials to be read you need to unlock them using the PIN.
It seems no matter what new advancements we make in technology the big tech companies seek nothing more to implement it in a way that benefits themselves. Regardless if it means fucking over the consumer.
I really hate what the internet has become over the last couple of years.
We’ve also given passkeys and passwords equal priority so that you can use them interchangeably in our apps. This means you can store, share, and export passkeys just like you can with passwords.
It's been quite a mild winter in the UK. Normally we have a lot of frosty and freezing temperatures but we only had about 3 days where I am. Other than that it's been above 5°C and raining. The ground is saturated to fuck. Makes walking the dog a very messy job!
That said we had a pretty poor summer last year. It never really got that warm. I'm hoping the shit winter means in return we are given a nice summer. I have my doubts though.
I've ran Plex and other apps directly on Raspberry Pi's for years but started playing with docker. I really prefer it and always try to go for docker images over regular app installs. When it came to upgrading my stuff from Pi3 to a Pi4, because I put all my docker stuff on an external drive I could just mount that drive on the new Pi and then run my docker-compose file to get everything up and running again. Containers are awesome!
I'm confident with Linux but by no means an expert. So if I can get it working then anyone else can. My advice though is to avoid using Portainer to create your containers. It may look easier cause it has a GUI but do ker-compose is not hard. Having that one file for all your apps makes life nice and easy
We looked after a cafe who had a couple of PC's to use that gave internet access. Yes this was a while ago, way before smartphones and wifi. The PC's had some software that allowed internet access for a set duration based on how long they had purchased. This software was managed by an NT4 Server backend.
The owner called one day to say nothing works. When I got there, NT4 has been wiped and replaced with Windows 98. Apparently one of the university student baristas was asked to help when they had an issue. The owner was trying to save money from calling us out. Fixing this mess was way pricier than whatever was wrong previously!
I know it comes with more users. But the default filter on Sync for Lemmy (Active) means I see the same post at the top of my feed for 2 days! Previously on Reddit that would change like the wind changes direction.
I've seen a number of websites where if you click on something it takes you to a massive sign up page with big boxes for a username and password. Then buried in a corner with small text will be the link to click if you already have an account. Basically we don't give a shit about our current users.
