perhaps, but that could easily be a tie that goes around the sides of the neck and down across the chest to their sides - like a backpack… which is pretty much a necessity
okay yeah - not a perfect analogy… the point is that their argument is more nuanced… it’s still a strawman, but useful to understand their argument to predict their next moves
they’re trying to argue that it’s like if you’re building a deck and mess up your permits, and the government knows and then waits until you’ve spent all the time and money finishing before telling you to rip it all down
it is useful to know that there might be reasons besides the point that they’re making though… you can make all completely correct arguments and still be wrong in a wider context
why are they making the point? why do they care? what outcome are they trying to achieve? perhaps incentives are aligned, but perhaps not
i think it’s useful to point out regardless so people can form their own opinions with as much information as possible about potential ulterior motives
i’ve never understood why there’s not a good option for using one of the plethora of server management tools with prebuilt helpers for workstations to mimic group policy
like the tools we have on linux to handle this are far, far more powerful
Bitwarden always encrypts and/or hashes your data on your local device before anything is sent to cloud servers for storage. Bitwarden servers are only used for storing encrypted data.
…
PBKDF2 SHA-256 is used to derive the
encryption key from your master password
this is exactly the way this should be done. any deviation from this formula by a password manager with a server component should be viewed with extreme scepticism
When you login to the Vaultwarden web application it's going to exchange your passphrase for a private key.
bitwarden is end to end encrypted: your decryption keys never leave your device, and the server certainly never sees them
you must always be able to trust your network
this would be a horrible password manager. this is also not how bitwarden works
you do still need to trust your server if you use the web interface, because any web interface can serve malicious components to exfiltrate whatever they like but native apps, assuming they’re verified appropriately, could communicate over HTTP and still not allow anyone actively monitoring your network to see any data that would be particularly useful
you can, but as i said at the end of the comment: you have to do it anyway… you either entirely waste the fuel, maintenance, and pilot time, or you use it for something
in a couple of comments people have said they think it’s “plain old cool” and “a mini air show”
propaganda? perhaps
but people also seem to enjoy it… better than entirely wasting it
sewer systems aren’t air tight either - they need to let gasses escape, so i think even without an airtight seal if we consider a sewer in general a pipe system of this category it’s fair to consider the connection between butt and toilet also part of this system
many people have a special wireless connection, which explains the sewage that spews from their mouth
perhaps, but that could easily be a tie that goes around the sides of the neck and down across the chest to their sides - like a backpack… which is pretty much a necessity
