cwagner, in What password manager do you recommend?
  • Bitwarden: Paid, but with a free tier, ticks all your boxes
  • KeepassXC: Free, ticks all but browser access (great android and browser integration, though), syncs through any file sync service (WebDAV support makes for a nicer Keepass2Android experience, though)

Note that I’d not recommend Keepass for multiple users, I heard of sync issues there and you can’t do partial shares. Not an issue for me, though. With Bitwarden, the free tier offers 1 extra user.

Personally I don’t want to be dependent on some other service (like bitwarden hosting for me), but also not be reliant on my own server for something as important as passwords, that’s why I’ve been using Keepass(XC) for the last 7 years (thought it was longer, but it turns out I had LastPass premium till 2016. Fuckers).

fiat_lux, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

The noise in my head is plenty loud already.

Wooly, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

Yes, but more so because of my tinitus. It fucking sucks, I can’t really focus on reading books because the silence is deafening.

chrisphero, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

I also have a sometimes hard time falling asleep, I guess I think and overthink everything too much…

So my go-to are audio books and podcasts.

LachlanUnchained,

I am a wild over thinker. Problem I have with audio books and podcasts, is i miss too much of them by falling asleep. Haha. Even with the sleep time on like only 30min.

chrisphero,

I mostly listen to audio books for sleeping that I’ve already read or listened too before, otherwise it has the opposite effect haha. This way I don’t care if I miss something or re-listen to something.

Sometimes I fall asleep within the same 5 min for a week 😂

harmonea, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?
@harmonea@kbin.social avatar

Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction garbage

And? You may not like them, but there's clearly an audience.

Don't buy a new phone if you don't want one, but why be so mad that other people have reasons you don't?

Freeman,

There are many good games, paid and free but no p2w, as well. They just advertise less.

00Sixty7, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

Hottest? Last summer, driving home, Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area. The A/C in the car I was driving was busted, it had zero window tint and a plexiglas roof panel so there was no shade whatsoever. The area was getting that extremely dry late-summer heat that area gets during made worse by the heat dome effect over the city. The actual temp was likely 108°-110°F, but the “feels like” was somewhere in the upper 120°s. Add to that the fact that the wind itself was literally hot, and there I was driving down the highway with my windows down cooking in what basically amounted to a convection oven. I ended up finding that I was actually cooler if I rolled the windows up. When I got home my shirt was totally soaked and as a result, it has the shadow of a seatbelt burned into it.

Coldest? Around -20°F in central Utah during winter at about 3AM during an impromptu snowball fight in the apartment complex I lived in. Zero wind and about a foot of snow on the ground. Again, surprisingly dry, so it was legitimately PLEASANT with a ski jacket, long johns and jeans, when compared to a humid, windy winter as warm as 32°F anywhere else in the same gear, but definitely the coldest temperature I’ve seen by the numbers.

ebits21, (edited ) in What password manager do you recommend?

There’s only two real choices imo.

Bitwarden or Keepass (KeePassXC for desktop, you’ll need one of many app choices for your phone).

Keepass you would sync to your own cloud provider and use a key file for protection.

Bitwarden is the obvious answer that fits all your criteria.

Rakn,

Why are these the only real choices? What makes the others not real?

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Only ones I trust that are open sourced and have some kind of audit.

Rakn,

Don’t closed ones like 1Password also have audits? But I guess it’s a personal philosophy.

ebits21,
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

Sure. But I wouldn’t trust closed source software for passwords. Personal decision.

ChrislyBear,

What are thr benefits of KeePassXC over the regular “original” application?

ebits21, (edited )
@ebits21@lemmy.ca avatar

I use Linux and flatpaks so XC is the obvious choice for me - much nicer to use across platforms that aren’t a windows and only one available as a flatpak. Nicer interface. Supports TOTP codes (all I use it for, Bitwarden for passwords). More active development.

I use KeePassium on iOS with the same vault.

zahel, in What password manager do you recommend?

Bitwarden. Either selfhosted or the official

Blizzard, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

Try weed. Not right before sleep but a bit earlier, while watching those stand-ups for example.

LachlanUnchained,

Yeh. It’s amazing. I have a medical license for it. But sometimes I want to not sleep haha. More about the silence being frightening. Rather than not being able to sleep. Haha.

@e-ratic@kbin.social avatar

My routine is a joint a couple hours before, then put on some rain sounds in the background while in bed. Instant zzzz

LaunchesKayaks, in I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
@LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world avatar

You just gotta take the loss and burn your house down.

Zarxrax, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Wow, this thread has been really eye opening. As someone who completely hates exercise (I honestly can’t imagine many other things that are more unpleasant), it had never really occurred to me that people exercised because they genuinely enjoyed it. I always just assumed that everyone else hated it and just forced themselves into it.

Pitri,
@Pitri@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

one lesson life gave me was:

no matter how fundamentally and universally hated you think something is, there’s always some individuals, communities and/or cultures who enjoy said thing.

the same opposition goes for things you assume everyone loves.

it’s amazing how incredibly complex and diverse humans are.

Look into SuperNote or OnyxBoox devices, they work quite good even if there is a learning curve.

I self host bitwarden currently, but have been playing with the idea of using Vaultwarden instead, just haven’t gotten around to uprooting my working system.

spitz, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?
@spitz@lemmy.ml avatar

I find it helpful to listen to .mp3s of people talking about something I’m interested in. I can focus on that and drift off to sleep and wake up not even realising I fell asleep. Also, I’ve found a hindu mantra that helps sometimes. It’s so hypnotic, it just carries me into the navel of sleep.

Mechanize, in Does anyone else struggle with silence, particularly when trying to sleep?

If silence is the real culprit you should try out a white noise generator, generally speaking it should overload/excite you less then music or human voices and could help you sleep faster.

Where I live silence during the night is not really an option, and I had had problems only when on vacation “away from civilization”, but small stuff like white noise, a fan or similar low but continuos sounds helped me out without asking for my attention (which happens with movies, music or similar).

There are even apps that simulate different kind of sound and let you mix them (like rain, birds, wind) but I didn’t have enough patience to really dig on this solution.

LachlanUnchained,

I think it’s more getting out of my own thoughts. And I feel white noise etc won’t shift my focus from that.
