  • LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices

  • there is no pihole device, it is just a software you run on linux. you can run it on any kind of computer, desktop, laptop, raspberry or a cheaper SBC, even on old smartphones (but, due to it needing to bind to a port lower than 1000 the phone needs to be rooted first), even on your home rputer if it can run openwrt. but you likely want to have it on something that does not consume much power, because this will be running 24/7

  • should I find one or many friends, they would inevitably need me more than I them and that would be unfair to them and me.

    I feel the other way with the few friends I have. I need them more than they need me, and it shows, it's always me reaching out. this makes me have the unfair feeling too, that I am taking their time

  • If you can come up with a catchier alternative then go for it. Link-aggregator-verse doesn't really roll off the tongue.

    its also reductionist. its not like we are just hoarding links here for hoarding's sake. discussions. and many non-link posts too.

  • Nobody is credibly suggesting that everyone should switch to IPv6 without a firewall.

    OP writes:

    many ISPs and institutional networks keep doing NATy stuff out of inertia and even more misguided security thinking: firewalls that refuse inbound

    Every single domestic router for the past two decades has included a firewall, and that would not change in an all IPv6 world.

    my ISP router does not have firewall settings, despite supporting IPv6. it has a DMZ setting, able to forward all incoming traffic to a specific internal IP, and that's it. I have a similar experience with cheap consumer routers too.

  • well this became very long. but if you consider how is the synchronized file treated by the clients, as the main database or just a file known to be shared, then it can be figured out. but always verify your theory in practice, and check the docs of your clients if they have anything to say about synced databases.

  • 1Password wades into a right-wing mess after funding a Linux project

  • if you have an always available central storage, and your keepass clients are never offline when you want to use them, I recommend to use that for storing the database file. but this is rare, and things can go wrong such that this central storage is not accessible, like network breaking down.

    Otherwise, devices are online at different times, I would recommend using Syncthing, and then all devices can upload/download the database file when they see each other.

    when using synthing, you'll likely get into file conflicts, though. but it is predictable when will it happen, and you can avoid it if you are careful.lets say, you edit the database on your phone, syncthing on it is sleeping for energy saving, you turn on your computer and you edit the database there too. then computer is kept running, and later the syncthing app on the phone wakes up. syncthing will see that the database file has changed on multiple devices, in a different way, and you will have to choose which one to keep.

    if you can't use keeshare of keepassxc, you'll be holding your primary database on the syncthing folder. you will lose the changes made on one of your devices, depending on which one you discarded. but syncthing should save the discarded version with a special name, and I think, but you should check, the desktop version can handle this: if it has the database opened and unlocked, and you discard the local version in syncthing on your PC, resaving the database in keepass should merge the changes and no data is lost; if you have edited the same field of an entry on both devices, both values will be in the entry history. if this works this way, the conflict backup made by syncthing is nt needed.

    if you can use keeshare, I believe discarding any of the versions in syncthing should fix it up eventually without data loss, because keeshare maintains a copy of the DB where your client can look for the "global state" of the DB, and always add anything to it that it deems to be new local changes not yet present in the global state. but the global state will only get eventually fixed up if all your devices will keep being able to sync to it; because if in the above scenario on your desktop you discarded the updated global state coming from your phone, to be able to accept the updated global state coming from your desktop, later your phone's syncthing needs to be able to receive the global state you accepted elsewhere, potentially you will need to accept the remote changes here, then your keepass app needs to open the local database, process the global state database (updating it again with the local changes), and sync it to at least one other device (conflict free if there were no changes elsewhere in the meantime).I don't know how deletions are handled by keeshare. if it does not keep an index of deleted entries, then keepass on your local devices will keep readding the last version of this entry. that's likely fine if it is only added back to the trash folder, and all devices know to delete it after a certain time being there.

  • While I could probably avoid the annoyance with some sort of script or automation that just runs each of my installed games every so often on it so the DRM shit is refreshed, I am seeing that Steam is already in the bad place for digital rights.

    that's likely not steam's fault. were these issues with triple a games, and big studios?

    I intend to at least start a habit of checking gog for games before getting them from Steam and might start looking in to how to keep permanent access to my top games that I've bought and paid for, regardless of what Valve decides.

    the games that didn't work offline likely aren't available on gog

  • The remote devices should have local database because my main computer will not always be online.

    yeah, about that. none of the official bitwarden clients allow editing if the server is not accessible. they didn't want to have to deal with conflict resolution

    Or should I just set up keepass instead since IIRC that's one of the ways it can be set up.

    sounds like a better idea. but synchronization wise, conflict resolution has to happen somewhere. like when you edit an entry on two devices, and later they try to sync both changes at once. Fortunately tye keepass format has a more comprehensive entry edit history than bitwarden, so clients can figure it out.keepassxc on linux supports something called keeshare, check how is compatibility for that with your mobile keepass app. original keepass on windows supports some kind of automatic merging on saving and loading, maybe keepassxc does that too? if you end up using synthing, conflicts could occur at that layer, which is not hard but not so straightforward to handle, but keeshare is supposed to help with that I think.

  • if you can even verify it, unlike the proposed EU identity app that adds in all the obfuscation, and anti-debugging DRM of the world, also denying operation on any device and operating system not directly made by one of the two tech monopolies in the field.

    but that is not only what you should worry about. even with an actually auditable app, they just change it one day and practically nobody bats an eye. the common person can not and will not check anything, it updates automatically and thry know nothing. if they don't comply, they are immediately excluded from half the world. the thing is auditability is a nice plus, but doesn't actually matter, because it requires a fully benevolent government. if they want to push through a change, they can roll it out in 5 minutes across the whole country and no businesses can defy it.
