X is no more a social media… It’s a rogue social media not following the rules of the country it operate in.
You talks about double standards… Try first to not mixing totally not related root cause. Censoring vs Legals.
X could have been able to avoid that if the company had proper leadership in place.
Statement related to previous cloud hacks i assume.
Should have say: self-hosting is always superior to cloud hosting.
Bitwarden (the client) + Vaultwarden (the self-hosted server) is a good combo if you have some knowledge on how to setup it.
I know, he is also hosted on a german association with the same id. Both github and the association will have to follow the laws anyways.
You are using github so i doubt it is really the case.
You are trying to do something many people really did before but had to stop, loosing their job for some of them…
What make you thinks you can do better? If you have time, spent it on useful open source project instead on a dead horse like reddit…
my 2 cents…
passphrase yes. It’s a long sentence than only me know.
As i use this vpn only when travelling and the passphrase doesn’t change, i can use my phone or tablet cached data to get the passphrase if i forget it.
And once connected to my home network via my vpn, i have access to all my services (vaultwarden, jellyfin, storage, etc…). All require of course login as i’m not accessing them from my local network.
Do you really need that ?
Self hosting means you have outside your phone your real vault and the phone is just connecting to it to refresh its local data.
I’ve setup my vaulwarden in my local network kit’s the local bitwarden server i use), my phone, tablet or simple webbrowser can connect to it when i’m home via the classic bitwarden (with self hosting parameters).
If i travel, i have just to start my openVpn session and connect to my home but it’s only needed if I want to update something (the encrypted cache it’s enough for consulation). If I have nothing to change, no need to have a vpn. I just use the cached data.
If my phone is stolen the data are safe (cache is encrypted, source is not on the phone). I revoke the vpn access by precaution and move one. No sms scenario needed here.
You only need to have a backup phone or computer to setup your new access on the new phone.
Edit: of course my vpn connection is protected by a passphrase so nobody can connect to my home network without me around. And the bitwarden app is also protected of course.
Honestly even the as-is directX with Wine is already quite good. With Vulkan, game over :-)
Switched to arch linux last november, didn’t had to launch my backup VM Win10 at all. I even managed to play at StarCitizen with better performance than under Win 10…
Just wow the progress of Linux, Wine & co since my last linux try (Ubuntu, around 2010).
I just need now to find a linux way for my music stack and all the VST (my steinberg usb card is recognized and play properly oO) and Windows will be history at home…
Well, we could argue than having everyone in the same building is also a risk (traffic/weather issues could block all operators to come for example).
So having operators dispatched in several towns with probably multiple Internet providers could reduce this risk. In case of real big crisis, I agree it’s better to have everyone at voice reach, in the same room.
But, while a global internet outage could be a real risk for operators at home, having everybody able to join from everywhere can mitigate that.
And in case of a global internet disruption (another big risk that could happen), well classic mobile users would have also issues to contact 911 as lot of 4G/5G towers use internet instead of internally owned network to transmit our calls and data (the old copper landline disappear more and more).
Note that I agree with yours points too, their is pro and cons everywhere :-)
