  • Fair point.

    The self-hosting part was mostly about total control over my own systems and less about the paid features. It’s very much not necessary.

    As far as pro features go, It was the TOTP authenticator integration that was kind of important to me. ~20% of my accounts have TOTP 2fa, and bitwardens clients will automatically copy the latest 2fa code into the clipboard when filling a password.

    Bitwarden will even tell you if a saved account could have 2fa (the service offers it), but it’s not setup/saved in bitwarden atm.


  • I currently have 110 unique user+password combos. I wouldn’t want to change all those even once, if I were breached and had used similar credentials everywhere.

    Bitwarden keeps them well managed, synced between devices, and allows me to check the whole database for matches/breaches via haveibeenpwned integration. Plus because I prefer to keep things in-house as much as possible, I even self-host the server with vaultwarden walled off behind my own vpn, instead of using the public servers. (this also means it’s free, instead of a paid service)



  • Then I’d have to learn the black magic that is folding a fitted sheet AND actually fold them every time I change my bed/wash the old set.

    Can’t just leave clean laundry in a pile either… That’s just going to bother me; are they clean or not? If it’s clean, it’s gotta be put away neatly, but It’s gonna have to stay in the dryer until I work up that kind of courage.

    Nope, just gonna fight myself to put them back on the bed once they’re clean…








  • That’s some pretty close margins, but it wasn’t a simple direct flight and land; they spent 2hrs circling the airport trying to land in turbulence, then had to divert to another location. Planes already fly as light as reasonable to reduce the amount of fuel you’ve gotta burn to haul the extra weight.

    Makes sense they’d be rather low on fuel by then.

    One person on board recounted what is thought to have been a two-hour attempt to make a safe landing, saying the plane made two attempts to land at Prestwick, before heading for Edinburgh and finally Manchester.


  • it wouldn’t be owned by pornhub. It would be owned by MindGeek, their parent company.

    Which, In Americas current legal/political landscape, is more than enough to link them and insist they have an obligation to prevent users accessing MindGeeks own legally restricted content.

    They need a significant separation to cover their own asses. Common corporate ownership doesn’t provide that separation.


  • Darkassassin07@lemmy.catoShowerthoughts@lemmy.worldPornhub should make its own VPN

    I presume you mean, so users in individual States or other regions that restrict it can access pornhub

    No.

    A VPN provides a layer of plausible deniability where PornHub can say “we don’t know those connections come from [restricted region] so we didn’t know we had to bock them/verify IDs”. All they see is connections comming from the VPN exit server location, which is very likely in a more forgiving/less restrictive region.

    If PornHub owns the VPN as well, they now know the true location of the user as well as what they’re accessing and will be scrutinized much further about those connections.
