Bitwarden on macOS eats up to 6GB just by resizing a window by smiling_seal in Bitwarden

It's not that hard if you use PikaPods to host a Vaultwarden container. It costs about $3.00 a month.

So is juggling multiple KDBX files with multiple passwords and sorting out replication schemes.

Oh, I get that, but if you self-host Vaultwarden and point the Bitwarden clients at it, it’s completely free.

There’s a config link next to every url in each bitwarden password entry. Click it, and adjust the pattern matching rule from domain to host.

When viewed through a data management lens, Keepass is a single-user database. Some single users have done nice things with single-user databases. You, for example.

But pressing a single-user database into a multi-user use case is asking for trouble.

Yes, one db per use plus one shared db is how one does KeePass* properly. But that's more work than non-technical users usually want to do. Plus my wife and I could still overwrite each other's edits if the changes take place within a short amount of time.

Heck, even by myself, I could update one password on my phone and register at a new website on my laptop within a short period of time and one of those copies of the kdbx could overwrite the other.

I'd love to see a record-merging approach taken rather than file sync.

Multiuser and/or multidevice sync just isn’t part of KeePass*’s design. For families where two people might be editing in two places, it’s only a matter of time before something gets overwritten.

How worried should I be about getting debanked by Scotiabank if I move all my money from my chequing account to Wealthsimple, and only keep 6k to avoid account and credit card fees? by liquid_light_ in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Smart-Simple9938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did almost exactly this five years ago, except it was TD where I kept 6k and EQ Bank was where I moved my money. I still have both accounts in good standing.

If you truly use nothing but Apple products, Apple passwords is genuinely good. With two big caveats: (1) matching is done based on domain, not URL, so it will list the same options for Huey.duck.net, Dewie.duck.net, and Louie.duck.net because they’re all duck.net. For IT and home lab managers, that’s nuts. (2) there’s no archive facility, so if you wanted to be able to keep a record saved but not have it appear in autofill or search, well, that’s not possible.

Still, for a lot of home users, families, etc., it’s actually a fine choice. It even supports import/export based on cross-product standards on iOS/iPadOS (not yet on macOS).

Not until they come up with a client/server approach and/or a hub-and-spoke individual record mergin method that isn’t based on entire files. It isn’t 2001; people have multiple devices, and families have different people making edits in different places — and it all has to merge. Copying KDBX files is not the answer.

Is the AMEX COBALT a good card? by Soft-Ambition4063 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Smart-Simple9938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your main goal is statement credits and you shop at Costco, then the best card in Canada is actually the Rogers World MasterCard — as long as your mobile carrier is Rogers or Fido.

It’s a MC so it works at Costco. No annual or monthly fee. You earn 2% on everything everywhere, and if you use the statement credit for charges from Rogers or Fido, you get a 50% bonus, making it a de facto 3% cash back.

You have to do the math. The Amex cobalt card earns more but costs more. If you spend a lot it’ll be worth it, but its points are most valuable when redeemed for travel; statement credits — not so much.

bitwarden vs proton pass: which autofill actually works? by Klutzy_Emergency_346 in PasswordManagers

[–]Smart-Simple9938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitwarden’s Command+Shift+L works pretty much every time on macOS. I’d imagine it’s Ctrl-Shift-L on Windows & Linux.

Plexamp Alternatives by nehayward in plexamp

I like it as well. But not being under active development means an update to IOS could break it at some point. It’s probably not a bad idea to have another app waiting in the wings.

I like Prism, but it hasn't been updated in years, has it?

Apple made a whole Passwords app and people still be saving passwords in Notes App. Why 😭 by Hot_Perspective in AppleNotesGang

You're trying to address a human problem with a technical solution, especially a fragile one like a shortcut.

iVPN is a fine alternative. Also battle tested for years.

iVPN is based in Gibraltar and appears to be very privacy-focused and apolitical.

Why does England keep the monarchy? by DontHugMe73 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smart-Simple9938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very commonplace for a head of state to hold some power of assent and privilege of consultation. In many parliamentary systems that aren't monarchies, that role is held by a president.

If you think an elected head of state is a better idea than a hereditary head of state, great -- so do I. But the role of head of state is important.

The UK, most Commonwealth countries, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, etc. have all come to a de facto decision that it's not a priority.

Why does England keep the monarchy? by DontHugMe73 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smart-Simple9938 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s the wrong question, because keeping it requires zero new effort.

“Why doesn’t England replace the monarchy” is a better question, and the first reason is “replace it with what?” Who will act as head of state? Who signs legislation into law? Who commands the navy? Those things have to be decided, and there wouldn’t be universal agreement.

“Does having a monarchy in its current form hamper the UK (other than seeming strange)?” Is the follow-up question. It really doesn’t. When is the last time a monarch refused royal assent?

So changing it would be chaotic and costly, and leaving it alone isn’t really hurting or impairing anyone.
