  • there are free online lectures out there like MIT open courseware, i've rewatched some classes that i got fuzzy on. Also specific concepts may be better explained on youtube by like organic chemistry tutor or 3 blue 1 brown.

    I have not paid to retake a class though.

  • I wish I could forget oblivion so I could experience it the first time again. Emerging from prison after that long tutorial. Spending hours in complicated oblivion gates.

  • I could do that but I only have a couple of things in keepass so it's easy to manage and backups are not very frequent. Bitwarden has EVERYTHING else and syncs across all my devices, if all that stuff was in keepass it would get combersome to generate backups every time I create a new entry or change a password. I could use nextcloud or something to sync the backup files but honestly this has worked well for me. I just setup keepass basically once, create a backup somewhere else, then use bitwarden for everything else.

    Alternatively, plenty of people trust bitwarden completely. Honesty I'd trust bitwarden more than a self hosted solution that I'll likely neglect and probably fail to keep up with best practices because I barely got it working in the first place, also screw ISPs that use CGNAT, it's 2023, give me an ipv6 address already.

  • It's going to come down to how much you trust the provider but I'd say bitwarden is pretty solid. I use it for stuff I'm not particularly concerned about (like disney+ or some random forum) and I use keepass for stuff that would be particularly bad if it was compromised like banking credentials, I keep backups of my keepass DB on separate physical media.

    I also use a completely separate bitwarden account for all of my work accounts, keep that stuff separated, I only log into it from work devices and I never log into personal accounts from work devices.

  • ugh, I'm glad i've moved on from IT but I've had many arguments with 'security managers' about some bogus qualys findings. If the CVE is that a user could do a thing in an unexpected way, but they have permission to do the thing that is a bug not a vulnerability. IMO It's only a vulnerability if someone that is not allowed to do something can do the forbidden thing.

  • if you sniff a jug of chlorine, sure you'll smell it but diluted in a pool to 3-5ppm you shouldn't be able to smell it unless it's reacting with contaminants, not necessarily urine, but not not necessarily urine. If it has a strong odor from far away either the pool has way more than say 10 ppm chlorine or is reacting with stuff or both. The good news is the chlorine is doing its job and you're probably fine. probably.

  • I find it a bit ironic that the thing that made it easier to ditch windows completely was o365 web apps, they're actually decent if you have to use them. Thanks microsoft.

    I think the just use linux voices are getting louder because every day more things just work out of the box, it may not quite be there for everyone yet but it's getting better every day.

  • yeah, it's frustrating when they're smug about it but I'd argue that suggesting an alternative where this issue doesn't happen is helpful advice even if you don't agree with it. I do agree that 'just switch to linux' is a gross oversimplification as there will be some growing pains and there are a few hurdles that may at present be unsurmountable. I also find it amusing that you present digging up registry hacks and fighting for control over your system for the rest of time to be easier than a modern linux installer that takes about 5 minutes to click through the gui with no command line knowledge needed. I guess the point is that you should use whatever you're comfortable with, but if you haven't tried linux in a while you might find it to be less of a fight than windows is becoming.
