Just wait until everyone is forced to wear screens on their faces 24/7, because that’s the way tech companies want us to live. I’m not being sarcastic, either.
There’s a reason why so many people consciously choose to “disconnect” when they want a mental break. If we are no longer able to, how healthy do you think our society will be?
Yup. I’m either hoping for a more sustainable alternative, or a fork with active updates.
For now, I’m holding my position, but preparing for an exit from Bitwarden.
you could just not update your mobile app and keep using vault warden.
Well, I’d prefer that the apps that are a gateway to my most important pieces of data (passwords) be updated to plug vulnerabilities and exploits. If it were any other app/service, then I can live without updates. But not something related to passwords.
I dont know if any specific model will be the right answer, but Qualcomm has their Snapdragon event going on right now, and many of the advancements they are touting are specifically for local AI processing.
So, computing power will improve significantly over the next few years, with AI being the largest benefactor.
To turn opt out of this (and you absolutely should), log into your PayPal account and then go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping.
I have personal and business PayPal accounts, and don’t even see those privacy options in either one.
Are these privacy concerns only seen in certain countries?
Yeah, with all the stuff going on with password managers, I wonder if there’s a truly future-proof setup that can be self-hosted and will never have these issues.
I was a Keepass user many years ago, but I’m not confident that a Keepass-like system would work well with some very computer-illiterate family members. Bitwarden is hard enough to teach them, and it’s one of the easy ones!
I’d rather update anything that’s old, as long as it stays on the same OS version (Bullseye and not Bookworm).
With newer versions of Raspian or any version of Linux, there seems to be a software update GUI that makes this pretty easy, but I’m taking stabs in the dark with this legacy version.
Was using AnyDesk (until it went to shit), then Teamviewer (before they went to shit) and a ton of other VNC and remote desktop options, but did finally land on self-hosting RustDesk.
It’s been VERY solid and reliable for me, but what you just brought up concerns me.
I checked my filter log (from Adguard on Windows) to see if Rustdesk is calling home, and I’m not seeing anything after multiple connections and several hours of use. I guess these things aren’t a concern with the self-hosted deployment?
A bit of an anecdote, but i was a long-time user of Mint, which integrated with all my banks and credit cards, which was nice.
When I decided to selfhost, I was disappointed that bank syncing wasn’t a thing, or it had these roundabout ways of working, or they simply didn’t support the banks and credit cards i use.
So… I ended up wity Money Manager EX.
Once i did the initial importing of my records, everything since has been manually entered.
Now, this might seem tedious depending on how many transactions and accounts you manage, but it’s really not.
Depending on how often you update your records, you can do an easy export/import of your transactions from your bank (usually a csv export). Doing this once a month isn’t terrible.
I just manually enter all my transactions. Yes, more work, but also less frustration and it makes me feel more in touch with my spending.
Even not having to worry about the hassle of syncing not working, or having to fix things like that is a huge weight off my shoulders.
Anyway, just wanted to share my experience because bank syncing shouldn’t be a make-or-break thing.
