Separate 2FA OTP app from my password manager
  • For me it depends how "hardened" the account needs to be.

    For key accounts I keep the 2fa seperated (where possible with a fido token) For not so relevant accounts I add it to bitwarden. Because I probably wouldnt activate 2fa for these accounts if I'd have to pull out the phone each time

    Edit: you also can add the 2fa token to a separate vault

  • Yet more examples of how copyright destroys culture rather than driving it
  • I likebthat, but I think this misses the part where a company pulls it from all markets, which should be states specificly.

    If you don't offer it anymore, you are not allowed to keep the copyright or patent.

  • Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor
  • If I have to choose between a company that freely sells and uses all my data versus a company that e2e encrypts my data and only complies with police and intelligence agency if it is specifically mandated by a swiss judge (and are fighing against it[1]), my money is definitely on the later

    Is it perfect? Probably not. - Does it match my thread model? Definitely yes!

    Also their privacy policy [2] allows to make a pretty well informed decision and map it against your thread model

    And by the way, here's the statement of the ceo regading the activist: https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest

  • I updated wanderer (v0.6.1) - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database
  • Did some really basic testing with a few images I had at hand:

    • jpg (7,8 MB): ❌
    • jpg (1,6 MB): ✅
    • webp (2,2 MB): ✅ (was even animated)
    • png (564 kb): ✅

    might be an issue with the sizes of the files, how large are your photos?

  • Token2 is an open-source Swiss FIDO2 security key that brings innovative features at a cheaper price
  • Found them when I was looking for a fido key, and was really happy sonce it allowed me to get a handfull of them (mostly usb mini) Their service is also quite good

    Only sad thing is, that the duo (with usb-a and usb-c) is quite big, so i usually just carry the usb-a & nfc with me. Works for everthing except my mbp

  • Why people don't talk about Google Maps' privacy issues
  • I usually use OsmAND for my motorbike tours where I love the adaptable UI. But importing round trips is a big hit or miss, where most of the time it just skips all intermediary stops

    And for daily "driving" (hehe) I do miss some traffic info :-(

  • As the Internet Gets Scarier, More Parents Keep Their Kids’ Photos Offline
  • Those where more, how should I put it, 'visual' and 'tangible' threads. Now it's watch out or someone is aggregating all your infornation about you and will use it for some neferarious things...
    Which I find is a much wider issue, but is also much more dificult to warn and protect.

  • Archive(.)is problems
  • Have seen some mods who aren't reslly fond of it and ask users to not do it.

    Reason given is that copyright handles linking different than copying of articles. (Which kind of makes sense for me)

  • Google Photos Alternative
  • Also, there's usually no reason as a user to pay monthly for a feature in a self-hosted application.
    The Dev has no monthly costs for that feature. Let me buy the application/feature, and if you need money for a new feature, create a feature that is worth buying again. No need to bully the user into a monthly subscription...
