Oh gawd, the world is burning and people are dying. Stop tone-policing, go out in the real world and bash the fucking fash.

Tailscale or Netbird literally take 15 minutes tops to set up and get working. Then you just pick whatever services like SSH you want to use, have them accept connections only from Tailscale/Netbird IPs, and you’re gold.

I use Tailscale on my entire home lab, and with my friends and family for everything from Minecraft, to accessing my Jellyfin home media server, to accessing my parent’s home PC across the country to check updates and backups.

Fast, easy, free, and secure.

Yeah…and I suppose they all hauled ass out of there because their company was doing so incredibly well and they felt super optimistic about the near future?

Also, if you can’t make a chatbot BF/GF company profitable, that’s a pretty damning signal for the industry as a whole, certainly from an end-user perspective.

It might be happening finally. All it takes is one domino that’s just big enough to knock over the next one…

Monero is the only crypto currency I believe in.

Idk if this helps, but here’s my general ethical approach:

If it’s a small indie developer/studio. I always pay for the game, or at least, if I pirate the game, I buy the rough equivalent of their merchant or make a donation if that’s an option.

If it’s a large studio/corpo game, I pirate it and don’t shed a single tear. Same is true for all my music and visual media.

I support people and small groups that need the help and are creating great products and art. I think it is actually unethical to support giant corporations monetarily, so I do my best to minimize the amount of money they get from me, which for many years now has been pretty close to zero.

I drove my FX-8320 into the ground through college and a few years beyond. That poor little chip got tortured with so much voltage…

My 5800X3D will be in my maxed out AM4 rig for a looonnnggg time.

I’m so glad I didn’t listen to people online about staying on the “dead” AM4 socket for my rig upgrade two years ago. My 5800X3D might end up being the best value purchase I’ve ever made…

If I’m going to have to host my own infrastructure, I don’t want it tied to Bitwarden, given the new direction of the company.

I fully support Vaultwarden though, and I wish them well.

I’ll be going with KeyPassXC and Syncthing.

Well, we all know how this ends…

It’s a really sad day for me, I love Bitwarden, it’s easily the best password manager I’ve used, and I’m in IT, I’ve used a bunch.

Fuck private equity, fuck it to death. But until then, I’ll be moving my test setup for KeyPassXC into production over the coming weeks and months.

I was happily subscribed to Bitwarden for years for my personal account, I moved several people and a whole company onto it’s platform. We had a good run, time to move on.

Mixed for us, some of the new hires are quite experienced, some are kids straight out of school. Overall a younger crowd, (mid 20’s - early 30’s)

It does require a lot skills-wise though, and it’s the most intense team in our department IMO. They are always on-call and constantly dealing with high priority threats. I wouldn’t want that kind of pressure all the time personally, but they make a good chunk more money than I do as a sysadmin, so there’s positives and negatives.

I work at a top 50 credit union in the USA, total opposite around here. We just added multiple CyberSec analysts and Cyber fraud analysts in the last 12 months and we are still looking for more.

Everybody I know at other community banks and credit unions is doing the same, infosec is booming.

Do what you want cuz’ a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

Oh yeah, great, sounds awesome. Can I get in line now to not use it?

If that many evil people/corpos are involved, run as fast as you can the other direction.

Give me community-based distros like Debian, Arch, Mint, etc. I like my Linux democratic, anti-corpo, and inclusive.

Check out Linode, it’s easy to use, reasonably priced, and as far as I know, hasn’t done anything disgusting.

Only downside is that they were acquired a little while ago by a publicly traded company, so the likwlyhood of enshitification is higher.
