paulsmith, in e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper

I’m a big fan of eink screens. They don’t cause the eyestrain that LED displays do. I have the Onyx Boox Nova which I really enjoy. It has the Play Store on it, so I can install any Android app. It also has pen support for annotating.

MDKAOD,

How it’s this device for comics?

festus, in What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

I hate beards so I’d make clean shaven fashionable. No real reason except for my purely personal preference.

9bananas,

pretty sure most men (myself included) find beards just easier to deal with than daily shaves…daily shaving makes my skin unhappy

I think we’re past the beard phase in the UK. Which is good, I can’t grow one.

ekky43,

Im having the opposite problem. Over here, everyone and their dog is clean shaven (with a little stupple for the brave) . Bring back luscious beards!

There’s the classic YouTube video which contains it’s own ID in the video: youtu.be/j70AA9arThc

ccryx, in Craziest YouTube Video ID?

As someone who has never thought about YouTube video IDs: is that a thing? Is there a small but tightly knit community of youtube video ID connoisseurs?

Monologue, in Why are my subscriptions stuck on "pending"?
@Monologue@lemmy.zip avatar

just a visual thing, don’t worry about it. it’ll function just like if you are subscribed

ValiantDust,

It’s not just visual, posts from these communities don’t show up in the subscribed feed. At least that’s the way it is for me. Sometimes clicking the button again twice helps, but not always. Though at least that adds the communities to the list of subscribed communities.

Edit: Hm, just checked again, and I was wrong. Seems like they are showing up in the subscribed feed. Maybe I got that impression from some other issues my instance had before updating.

miikaroo, in What password manager do you recommend?

Non self-hosted: Bitwarden

Self-hosted: Keepass

Both are open-souce, multi-platform, and free. Bitwarden does have additional paid tiers to include support for things like OTPs. I used to use Keepass but got tired of manually syncing my database; If that’s not a problem for you then it’s a great choice.

terk,

It’s more to setup, but I have my keepass auto sync across several devices using OneDrive. Each device has a local copy of the database that is synced with the cloud version using triggers.

Swarfega,

This is what I used to do. Although KeePass is better these days in that it will recognise when a database has changed and ask you if you want to synchronise the changes. KeePassXC will even reload the database when it detects changes.

flashgnash,

Bitwarden supports self hosting doesn’t it? There’s an option in the UI to specify server

the name is vaultwarden. a reimplementation of bitwarden i think in rust. you can use it with all bitwarden-clients.

Racle,

Yup, you can selfhost bitwarden and use your own private server to sync between devices.

Swarfega,

You sound like me. I used KeePass for many years. AutoType rules. That said it wasn’t as slick as other password managers for browser credentials. I moved my home stuff to Bitwarden and use KeePass for work. I honestly could never give up AutoType for work. Typing credentials into other applications is so handy and one majority of other password managers lack, including Bitwarden.

kwelzel,

One thing I was always wondering about the OTP feature: If OTPs are used for two-factor authentication but both your password and the OTP can be accessed through Bitwarden, aren’t you effectively sidestepping the two-factor part? I mean if I have the OTPs only on my phone then I need to know the Bitwarden master password and I need to have my phone in order to log in. On the other hand if both are in the Bitwarden vault, I only need to know the Bitwarden password. So effectively two-factor becomes one-factor authentication.

Maybe the relevant scenario here is your credentials for some website getting leaked. With OTPs inside Bitwarden any attacker would still not be able to log in as long as they don’t know your master password, giving you plenty of time to change your password. Although, if the attacker already found a way to access confidential website logins, they can probably access all kinds of other confidential data related to this account without even logging in as you.

pandarisu, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites.

ttk, in What is the craziest thing that's ever happened in your life?

When i was at my first job in a factory as a trainee, they decided to remodel a manufacturing line and had to move some 40t hydraulic presses. They hired a crane, and the crane guy did the proper mounting of the presses. A 20cm steel beam through the mounting holes of the press, attached to the hook of the crane with these nylon carrying ropes. All fine.

As he lift the press through a hole in the roof, the steel beam just fucking breaks into two pieces. The whole 40t press falls to the ground from a height of 3 meters, leaving a crater of 50cm in depth in the concrete. The broken off piece of the steel beam slams into the driver cabin of the crane, which luckily was reinforced with a steel cage behind the window. This cage saved the crane operator’s life.

We were on a smoke break and watched everything. Fucking crazy.

Never step under heavy load hanging from a crane. Never ever.

morganth, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

“Don’t regret. Remember.” From the movie “Portrait of a Lady on Fire.” Changed how I think about a lot of the events in my past. The director said that fans have come up to her and shown her tattoos of that line, so it’s not just me.

djmarcone,

Especially relevant if the tat is “don’t regert, rememember.”

fugepe,

sounds like those cheap quotes young women tattoo on their wrists

the_third, in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

Short comment because mobile: You’ve described a thing I’ve been thinking about and grasping to get back since maybe two or three years. Thank you.

TheWorstNL, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

If you hide your whole life, you’ll forget who you are.

Catpuccino, in What genres of music do Lemmites enjoy?

Metal, breakcore, and whatever genre kobaryo is

nautical2975, in What password manager do you recommend?

Bitwarden, Psono, Proton Pass. 1Password is not open source but they’re amazing too and most secure because of a layer of protection

pingveno,

I’ve had a good experience with 1Password, but I would absolutely look at the others if I was starting from scratch now.

One I wouldn’t recommend is LessPass. It is kind of clever, but it relies on doing a hash of a set of values (master key + site + username + counter) and then producing a password from the hash based on some password specifications. Neat, but that’s a lot to remember.

dan,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

because of a layer of protection

What does this mean? It’s very vague :D

nautical2975,

1Password is secured with secret key on top of your master password, adds another level of security. many other password manager, Bitwarden etc are reliant on the strength of your master password

Lewistrick,

Ooh wow, Proton also made a passmanager? I’m going to have a look, I kinda like that company.

mojo, in What replacement for each major social media do you use

Really just use Lemmy, Mastodon, and Element. I keep Discord installed because all my irl friends use it. I don’t interact with any servers on it anymore though, just DM friends.
