This insane edgelord “all religion is bad so shut up about it” shit.

There a literally billions of Muslims in the world. They are not all following their cults orders in lockstep, doing exactly what is said, holding one belief.

You are vastly oversimplifying and grouping Sunni and Shia and Catholic and Protestant and Episcopalian and Jewish and Hindu and Sikh and Buddhist and Shinto all together.

None of those groups move as one within their faith. None. Scientology does. Because Scientology is not “lol religion is the opitate of the masses” cult, Scientology is a LITERAL “we keep people imprisoned and torture them routinely and steal all our members income while we take their children from them” kind of literal cult. Not colloquial. Not from a certain point of view. This is their entire structure.

The “gospel of prosperity” is almost a cult, arguably a cult of personality, but these people a literally physically free to do anything they want. They are manipulated into donating. Scientologists are blackmailed and, again, LITERALLY imprisoned within the groups of the groups facilities.

One, is a “proverbial” cult, because it is manipulating the weak minded and is very sad and wrong too. One is a LITERAL cult. And these two things can both be bad while one can be CLEARLY more objectionable than the other.

KeePassXC you would put the sync-file itself into syncthing or something, and then KPXC would resolve changes between the sync file back to the main vault. I don’t use this method directly so I might be incorrect on the details, but it is possible to setup in a device to device manner.

You keep saying external server for syncthing, but again: syncthing does direct data transfers, encrypted end to end, between devices. It does not use cloud hosting or servers. It has the equivalent of a 90s FPS matchmaking lobby, so you can find your own devices latest IP.

You register the devices with each other with their generated ID codes. Then you ask the matchmaking server when it last saw that alias. It gives you the last IP that checked in with that unique alias. It then contacts that OP, and performs a handshake. If it passes, your two devices can now sync directly. The matchmaking relay has 0 data of yours, and 0 ability to associate your unique ID with a name, hardware, or anything other than a last seen IP. When on the same LAN, devices don’t even query the matchmaking relay if you don’t want. It’s totally offline.

If you elect to, you can allow relays to let you tunnel of you have NAT issues, and your end to end encrypted data can be synced through a relay. In those cases then yes, you are extending a bare minimum trust, and you fully encrypted data would temporarily pass on the relay’s RAM. If this makes you paranoid, you can easily add a password to the sync folder itself, encrypting it unless another user inputs the password on the other end. Adding another layer if you wanted.

I just get nothing from Bitwarden that syncthing and KeePass don’t offer more easily. Syncthing works for tons of devices and other purposes as well, preventing to host a password sharing only tool, and just letting you use a direvy device to device sync tool. I don’t know how or why you would have vault conflicts, but it really does sound like something fixable. Running this for years and I’ve never run into it.

This is one of the rare cases where I believe security through obscurity applies.

What is the most ripe attack target: the password hosting service with millions of user credentials, or literally some random IP address using syncthing that could be sending literally anything that you don’t know is passwords or porn.

Companies like Bitwarden and 1Password and LastPass are doomed to have failures, just like any major corporation. They are too big with too much attack surface, and clearly advertise that they have stuff worth stealing.

Me? My KeePass vault is synced via Syncthing with no relay data, so it only ever exists on my phone and desktop, and is encrypted with what is today functionally unbreakable encryption. Today at least (RIP when quantum chips get good).

And my data is a blade of grass in a field. Sure there is a narrow chance someone snooping on my entire geographic area and stealing packets like the FBI could grab some packets in transmission. But they show nothing, and mean nothing. And the FBI has easier ways to get our data anyways.

Point is, I’d rather take my odds as a heavily encrypted file syncs between singular devices like a drop of water in the ocean, versus putting all my diamonds in Joe’s Diamond Emporium and just hoping no one decides to steal MY diamonds when it (inevitably) gets robbed.

Oh, so Scientology is a religion and not a cult, that’s your stance?

And she has the right to believe in her cult and inflict their will on others?

You are comparing a top down controlled cult doing active harm to a diaspora of various religions with various levels of commitment, expression, and potential harm.

Reductio ad Adsurdum is your fallacy. A cult is not a religion, and you are comparing an actively harmful thing, lime thumbscrews, to the broad conceptual harm of an entire concept, like screws themself.

In this circumstance, you can turn on simple versioning for the password vault. It will keep both vault copies and you can merge your changes together manually in the event this happens, no loss of data.

For mobile I just give syncthing full permission to run in the background and have never had issues with the syncing on the folders I designate. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I believe this can be solved.

However KeePassXC’s sync feature does sync the vault.

Syncthing does not have a server. The relay only serves to match your current client (device A) with the IP of your other client (device B). Nothing else passes through it unless you opt into using relaying in case you have NAT issues.

If you are paranoid, the software is open source and you can host your own relays privately, but again, it is similar to a matchmaking service, not data transfer.

Syncthing is a direct device to device transfer. No server in the middle unless you want it.

See, by your logic, it’s okay if I am a anti-semite for example, just quietly.

So long as I’m only funding and supporting my Anton Jew crusade off stage and off screen, and never writing a song that says “kill the Jews”, it’s okay to take all my money from those concerts and funnel it into my organization that manufactures gas chambers “just in case”.

A quiet tolerance of racism, bigotry, and abuse, leads to its proliferation. Period.

It’s not a witch hunt. Her organization is directly responsible for funding hate and attacks on innocent people. The money she earns from the band will fund this. It is perfectly reasonable to object to her being able to jump onto this band’s good reputation and use it to fund such efforts.

This still requires a server setup, focused entirely on passwords. Why do that?

Why not just use KeePass or KeePassXC, and use Syncthing for this and general files, or KeePassXC’s keeshare sync to sync the files without any hosting, server, or other services.

Extremely simplified tldr: both of these are like a authenticated private bittorrent, where the “tracker” only helps you find yourself on another devices, no data is ever sent outside of your authenticaed devices, and all transmissions are encrypted as well.

Honestly I didn’t find this online but I’ve always done it this way. I’m happy to learn others think the same.

This gave me a really good chuckle.

“Listen I’m not blaming anyone, but if you think a white guy shouldn’t be president of the NAACP, you’re just fucking dumb morons. All that matters is if they can do the literal job* (*not including the messaging or morals, just the literal job functions”)

Good catch. And yea, at a local level this Wilhelm not exacerbate things.

The crisis begins with the emanation of farm fires in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, where farmers set fire to hundreds of square kilometres of paddy fields after harvesting them to clear them of residue, causing a smog jacket to form over northern India, particularly Delhi.

Banning firecrackers to not make the problem worse makes sense, given how absolutely bad it will be due to the slash and burn farming practices. But the firecrackers alone (while not good for the atmosphere) aren’t like a global warming factor. But for your on-the-ground air quality doesn’t help at all.

Do what must be done. Run the company like it was intended to be financially feasible without some future advertising innovation saving it.

But once the product itself begins to actively repulse me, then I stop checking the website as much. Literally everyone I know right now in my immediate family and friend circle is looking or testing a Google alternative because of these reasons.

When you enshittify the experience too much, no one wants it. I have YT premium, but parents who have YT TV due to poor coverage in their area, they don’t get YT premium. I don’t understand that.

There is a give and take with advertising, you are right. But this is just beyond what I will tolerate. Pause screen ads and ads on my TV home screen are my line. That is my hardware, and that is a service I pay for. Absolutely not.

Sadly, YouTube TV doesn’t include YT Premium.

Which is the weirdest shit imaginable to me.

In any case, adverts on the pause screen should be banned.

The entire advertising industry is long overdue for a massive clapback and course correction, because it has infested every inch of waking life.

I never care about these posts unless you share what you posted.

Too Many times the “it was just a little joke bro” turns out they called someone’s dog the N word or something and understand why they got banned.

“What it wasn’t like I said it about a person, just a ***** dog”

So, have fun OP, but making this post makes me doubt you more than them if you’re not going to recount any details at all.

Prop guns for cosplay gonna get a lot more difficult for now reason if this passes.

If you’re in prison for life, and you want to kill yourself because of gender dysphoria, providing you the medical care to avoid that is the humane thing to do. Period.

If you are an immigrant detained for 6-12 months before deportation, the the odds of this applying to detained immigrants is near 0, but let’s say 1% it does, this would be tailored at ensuring they can have the drugs they require.

Keeping people from shooting out the back of their fucking heads or swallowing a bottle of painkillers to end it all is always the humane choice.

Don’t worry, we could fund it all by just not administering a few death penalties (those are more expensive than life imprisonment).

Honestly, once upon a time 4chan was pretty liberal and anarchist. They protested Scientology even. That is definitely no longer the case.

Once the fucking Nazi types figured out extremely bare minimum lax moderation meant they could use slurs with abandon and still be okay, the use of slurs quickly turned from a “we hate everyone” in-joke to a “no, we legitimately hate you inferior races” bent extremely quickly.

There are still boards that aren’t total garbage, but the site overall is kind of a shadow of itself in its heyday and now users spend as much time posting Qanon garbage and legit Anti-Semitic hate threads on every board as it used to spend being funny. Honestly really sad.

I hope someone viciously kills him before it can happen.

Like, to be clear I am not threatening or anything, but no such thing as a trillionaire should exist, and it’s absolutely something that should be punished.

There is no moral way to get there.

How I didn’t develop a lifelong fear of clowns I have no idea.
