The Cold War came after World War II…

Vaultwarden isn’t actually susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks, since the passwords are encrypted and decrypted on the end device. But some relevant metadata do go over the connection so it’d better have TLS.

Very sad state. Maybe hope lies in emulation? What I want ideally for my phone is for it to run a Linux-type desktop OS, and have light VMs (if containers won’t do) running fully locked garbage Android systems for those apps that require them.

As an exclusive Linux user since the early 2000s I remember well the days programs were unavailable and website only supported Internet Explorer. Wine and virtualization remedied much of that pain.

No, I think they should ignore it and let the British government do what they will. Again, they are not bound by UK legislation. Similarly they don’t block Chinese IPs because of censorship laws over there.

I’m not an expert but I feel like organizations like Wikipedia that are not based in the UK and do not do business in the UK shouldn’t fight or comply with this nonsense. If the British government instructs ISPs to block access to Wikipedia, let them, and see the uproar it generates.

Interesting, I’ll keep it in mind next time I have to deal with this problem (hopefully never but who knows).

A few years ago I was in contact with researchers that were developing an AI tool to parse PDFs (I think they didn’t care about converting to editable formats, but extracting data), from their material I got the impression that it’s extremely difficult to do right using traditional algorithms.

It’s a curse because it’s used for things other than what it’s intended to. It’s doing a good job representing printed material, but unfortunately people very commonly expect it to be something more akin to a word processor file.

I know the pain. While there are definitely solutions that work sometimes, there’s just no “one size fits all” that I’m aware of. PDFs can represent text very differently internally.

What I did for one project where extracting the text produced a complete mess was to convert the PDF pages to images and then OCR them…

Hate? Digital decluttering feels really good, for me anyway.

To my knowledge it’s not supposed to differ.

If you trust that the client (which is open source) is doing what it’s supposed to do, security-wise I don’t think there’s a difference between self-hosting and using Bitwarden’s service.

No, you don’t need to trust the VPS provider. The VaultaWarden password storage is encrypted, and the master password is never transmitted to the server. The passwords are decrypted only locally on your device.

I read it in my head in his voice.

For files I just use WebDAV that’s built in to Apache. It’s really not fancy, but does all I need.

I use RoundCube, I think it’s one of the oldest solutions out there, and is pretty good (and not ugly as of a few years ago).

That’s very unfortunate but hopefully you developed skills that will help you in your future career.

I’m so used to it I never realized it’s unusual.

Freeze them! Frozen banana is even better than fresh in milkshake.

Also note that if it’s just for personal use, you don’t have to have a domain for HTTPS. You can self sign, or create your own certificate authority, you just need to clients to trust it. But domains can be cheap or even free, so it’s better to get one so you don’t have to specially configure your devices.
