justsayit, in What password manager do you recommend?

Plus one for BitWarden for a great low price/free option that’s open source.

1Password if you have a few extra bucks to spend. I find the look and feel to be worth the money despite not being open source.

Kristho,

I agree on this one. I used Bitwarden first - but now I’m on 1Password for both work and personal use.

ChrislyBear, in What password manager do you recommend?

Keepass all the way. Checks all the boxes. Access via browser: If you have a Nextcloud instance, theres a NC-Addon to open kdbx files in the browser.

re: Bitwarden I tried it and it wasn’t sufficient for me. Is it now possible to also store and generate TOTPs? Can you store SSH keys and retrieve them directly from the password storage?

knoland, (edited )

You definitely do not want to generate TOTPs in your password manager. That makes it a single point of failure in the event of a breach.

EN20,

As stated by keepassxc: yes to in the same database results in a single point of failure but the easy and good solution is to store them in a separate database. Definitely more secure that stuff like some authenticator app on the same phone where the otps are used

ChrislyBear,

You’re right, good point! I’m going to separate the OTPs out of the DB right now. Thanks!

meteotsunami, in What would Twitter look like with an absolute number of Likes in the system?

Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you’re going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.

With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That’s the point though isn’t it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.

Moondance, in What password manager do you recommend?

Bitwarden

Royalish,

This is the way.

NPC,

There are other good options out there, think keypass, 1password and maybe dashlane. But my favourite would definitely be bitwarden

odbod,

This.

Bitwarden.

All day; everyday.

momentary, (edited ) in What would Twitter look like with an absolute number of Likes in the system?

I would predict even more botting would be used to influence likes/dislikes as limiting them would make them even more influential.

I’d also bet on their being even more useless comments saying expressing people’s like or dislike of something, which might be good for engagement numbers but bad for overall conversation.

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

Same problem. I just use a box fan though for white noise.

slimsalm, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

Atari, tanks

saba,

Atari: Tanks, Pong, Pole Position, Frogger, Pitfall, Pac-man, Megamania, Donkey Kong

slimsalm, in What password manager do you recommend?

I use keepassxc, works well for me.

HubbleST, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

One thing I noticed about browsing the youtube homepage on PC is if your mouse hovers over a video, it starts playing, and that puts it in your watch history. So you might be accidentally adding a trash video it recommended to your watch history while looking at the other offerings. You can disable the “mouse hover auto play” by clicking your profile pic in the top right > settings > playback and performance > inline playback.

Rearsays, in Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat?

Curate your feed better.

forgotmylastusername, in Why is youtube recommending conservative "talking points" to me?

A while back the conservative party of Canada was caught inserting MGTOW / Ben Shapiro tags on all their Youtube uploads. In other words they were poisoning peoples social graph in order to cause exactly what you’re talking about.

This is why I use a Google account that is only for Youtube entertainment. I keep it on a separate chromium profile. I turn on all the privacy toggles in the Google account. Only Youtube history is turned on. I curate the watch history.

You cannot tell what content might have breadcrumbs that eventually open the floodgates of far right echo chambers. They do this intentionally. So it requires active measures on your part to counter them. You’ve got to manage your account with intention. I do not use that account at all for random browsing. I usually do that in incognito on a different browser.

Barbacamanitu, in Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?

I would always cringe so hard whenever I saw someone on reddit talking about downvotes, lack of upvotes, or karma at all. It’s silly. Quit worrying about it.

Don’t change the way you express yourself just to make yourself more acceptable to the internet hivemind. The internet is a toxic place. Lots of people simply find joy in anonymously hurting others. Just comment and move on. And maybe reply to comments that are made in good faith.

Joe_0237,

Thanks for the advice

XTornado, in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

Every year no… Every two maybe, most stop receiving updates after the 2 years, except for some brands and maybe top models…

Nowadays it’s slightly better as usually there is a couple more years of security updates but that’s it.

Of course if there is scene and you can get some custom ROM like lineage or similar it is slightly better… But honestly most phones nowadays are locked down.

aloeha, in What are these comments on lemmy posts?

Hey, has this been fixed? I’m nervous about using Lemmy on my work computer now.

ech,

Instances running 18.2 should be fine, and as far as I understand it (with no dev qualifications to speak of, fwiw), these exploits only affected the local instance - they weren’t permeating through other instances viewing the exploits through Activitypub. That’s all to say, as long as your instance is running 18.2 or higher (the 18.2-rc’s should have in progress patches, as well), I believe you should be fine.

aloeha,

Shit, it doesn’t look like lemmy.world (my home instance) is running 18.2 yet, according to the bottom of the window. Is that correct?

Fleecer74,

It’s been fixed on Lemmy.world they just disabled custom emojis which fixes the issue

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

Coldest and hottest in my own country (UK) that I’ve experienced are -14°C and 40°C. -14 was fine but 40 was hell.
