what's a good open source and secure alternative? even if payed? I've been using bitwarden for years but this change plus their new CEO gives me pause.


I've been self-hosting Vaultwarden for some time, I'm pretty happy with it.


can you access it in your phone?


Yes.


If you are using Bitwarden self hosted, you can switch it out for Vaultwarden.


also some of those people probably wanna put "used rust at work" on their resume


I thought Europe was more careful about things like this. This is pretty bad, these people are vulnerable and they're just mining they're data for profit.


It is, and that is why the company took action:

> After being confronted with this research, Stichting 113 temporarily suspended all measurement and analysis tools on its website.

It does not mean that this cannot happen, but the regulatory framework helps stop it.


I guess it didn't help enough to stop them from doing it in the first place--it just helped them stop once they were caught. Sure, it's a step up from other places where there is literally no consequence for this kind of sharing.


They are not mining the data profit; they are mining the data for managing their website.


Google is mining the data for profit and bartering with websites like this to get it.


Europe is more careful. But people will break the law.


This is a rare circumstance where I would actually assume incompetence vs malice. (Unlike big tech, which has weaponized good will)

I would hope that anyone medical adjacent would be more deliberate in building a service, but I can easily imagine following the same ad-infested path as everyone else. “Start with this Google/Facebook/Microsoft/Draft Kings starter template that bundles leftpad so you can save time for the hard work”


People make mistakes.

In this context, a social construct. In terms much more popular a century ago, a 'nation': A people who have some similarities in how they approach, in this case, a combination of 'privacy aspects in regards to business' and 'to what extent America can be trusted to be of similar social construct and thus likely to end up between company policy and legal principles at the same or a similar conclusion'.

Or to make it even simpler: The EU's written and unwritten rules, along with countries that closely track such things, such as Norway, Switserland, Iceland, etc.


do they have good food, like in 7 eleven japan?



damn, I need her gym routine.


It's decent. Treatment of franchisees, on the other hand...


Not quite, but better than a US 7-11.


They're better than US 7 eleven imo. They have a section with baked breads and rolls for cheap.


well at least they're getting some decent severance, still sucks, especially in this market.


my company uses as400 and DB2 and pay for their servers. So they still make money from hardware too


A few years ago I found comic mono and monofur for Powerline. I switch between the 2 when I get bored of one or the other. I decided I won't try any new fonts, it's a waste of time for me and I hate having too many options to choose from, not only fonts but basically everything else too, it's distracting. Same for my editor's theme, I switch between Braver's Solarized Light and Radical.

This way I can focus on coding and less on tweaking my environment.


> This way I can focus on coding and less on tweaking my environment.

I made myself my own pixel-perfect perfect font, more than 10 years ago. I simply copy it from one system to the next one when I upgrade (either the machine or the OS).

It's basically a modified pixel-perfect Terminus font, but with some elements mixed from an old pixel-perfect Monaco font and some modification of mine.

Something I cannot live without is a tall pipe symbol. And my pipe symbol must have a hole in it in the middle (and it cannot be mistaken for an exclamation mark).

I've got the following as a quick test. The reason for a,b,c,e is to verify that <>,{},[], etc. all perfectly align vertically.

Everything is correct, to the pixel.

I don't believe in anti-aliasing for a coding font, not even on a retina display, and I love my 3840x1600 pixels 38" monitor and it's pixel size is perfect to me.

    gqy z2Z s5S 8B CG6 DO uv ;; these should look different (8 / B is difficult to get right)
    a!?aA!    [a]
    b!?b      {b}
    c?!d      (c)
    c?c       <e>
    c!c

    if ( a && b || c & d) { [0x88, 0x42, 0xFA, 0xdeadcafebabe]; }

    *if ( a && b || c & d) { [0x88, 0x42, 0xFA, 0xdeadcafebabe]; }*

    ;; found somewhere
    lnt foob1x -= {(0)} "'foo'bar";
    int foOblx == ((0)) 'foo`bar`' `"':
    |nt f0obIx += {{o}} '"O08! LIl1i!!| 7?
the lowercase 's' has a shorter upper bar and the lowercase 'l' is stylised.

The thing is: I obsessed for days, creating my own pixel-perfect font. And I don't need to tweak it anymore: it's perfect (to me, YMMV) and I use it ever since.

Can't share it as I reused both Terminus and chars from Monaco.

FWIW I had more than 10/10 eyesight (once you get at 10, there are additional tests) and in my entire life I've never seen one person beat me at the "read sign on the highway". Pixel-perfect font, no AA, custom made font for me. YMMV. Haters gonna hate.


I'm probably your twin, separated at birth... may you share your bitmap font?

> I don't believe in anti-aliasing for a coding font, not even on a retina display

This is a very good point. As resolution increases, antialiased fonts become less ugly, but also less necessary. Thus at no resolution they make any sense; but they look ridiculous for different reasons.


I use comic mono myself


it's also available in vscode


has there ever been a modern game console post 90s, that's really unhackable?


There's no such thing as unhackable, only "not yet hacked".
