    VaultWarden is already it’s own thing code base wise, so, it likely won’t effect the hosted portion of it at all.

    The apps though, sounds like right now, it sounds like it won’t make a difference, but, I think moving forwards it’d make sense to consider forking and making VW branded versions.

    With that said, right now, the only reason you can choose your own domain is because BW allows you to self host their own product and VW just made their API respond the same way as BWs, so, as long as BW keeps allowing the self host option, I would imagine that there really isn’t much they can do about VW other than starting to play games with their API, which would also impact their paying customers.

    Right‽

    Heck, that guy who set up a camera in such a way to encourage a monkey to take a selfie didn’t win his copyright case.

    He likely cropped the pic afterwards and touched it up.

    I don’t see how that’s fundamentally all that different than going back and forth with an AI and then tweaking it’s output.

    That’s even before taking into account the copyrights of the original “training materials”.

    The camera guy did a lot more to earn the copyright than vibecoders, imo. Had the guy just started a video himself and then grabbed a still frame from when the monkey pressed the button again (or set up the camera to take pics every 1/4 second or whatever), he’d have a 100% valid copyrighted photo unlike the viber who’d at best have some pseudocode.

    Yes, absolutely.

    You don’t have to understand a woman’s experience so much as you have to not be a dick when she tells you her experience.

    Look at all the men that got butthurt over “bear vs rando man” and I’m gonna be honest, I’d choose the bear over many of them too. They refused to listen to what was actually being said by that statement.

    Unless you’re downloading a prebuilt LXC, you’d still have to do all the manual install yourself.

    If you do download a prebuilt one, then you’ll need to do the updating yourself, like you would a normal application, including ensuring you keep dependencies up to date and all that.

    Both have their pros and cons and I use each depending on what I’m doing (and basically all of my dockers are running in their own LXC containers, which I find to be the best of both worlds).

    FWIW, I don’t download any prebuilt LXC anymore other than the base ‘Ubuntu’ or ‘Debian’ ones … the ones in ProxMox that have the prebuilt apps were a pain to update for me, especially since I had no idea how they were actually installed and most of the times they didn’t have package manager installations or curl installed and it was just way more trouble than it was worth.

    ProxMox does now have a built in containerized docker implementation that will use an LXC and you can just provide it the docker package details, but, it’s still in beta and I don’t know that it’s ready to be depended on yet.

    Maybe, but there is always the possibility that Downloads and downloads both exist in that path and in a case sensitive file system, those are going to be two completely different directories, so adding that obfuscation on top might wind up biting you later.

    I haven’t bought anything pre-built besides an Alienware laptop a decade or so ago, so, I have absolutely no idea what OP is talking about with:

    • crystal-facet enclosures
    • overall showiness

    My cases are clean and I guess you could see the font on the video card if you looked into the case, but, the RGB just shines out and you don’t really have a reason to look in. The other two gaming systems I have in the house, I disabled the RGB and again, I’m not looking into the case frequently, so I don’t know that tacky fonts even register on my radar.

    Keyboards/mice - again, RGB is all that’s really noticeable and that can almost always be turned off.

    So, my guess is people don’t care for OPs prompt, but it kicked off their desire to talk about the only bit that is actually noticeable and that’s the RGB, if they didn’t disable it.

    ETA: And that’s assuming people actually read the whole two sentences that OP wrote and didn’t just stop at the title.

    @AbraNidoran@beehaw.org already took care of what SMART means and is good for, so, I’ll address what the spirit of your message instead.

    For me, _almost _nothing in my house phones back anywhere with telemetry. Sure, anything that uses WiFi needs the network to run, but almost nothing has access to the actual internet because it’s on a VLAN that specifically blocks internet access.

    If you plan out the equipment you buy, you can ensure it’s safe (the absolute easiest way to do that would be to only buy z-wave or zigbee equipment since by design that’s a completely offline ecosystem, unless you buy a controller for it that requires the internet). With WiFi, I basically only buy stuff that can be flashed to ESPHOME, which removes its online requirements and puts a completely different firmware on the devices … this is more work than most people would want to do though, but you can always buy devices that were already flashed by someone else. IIRC, there are even some devices that come that way from the factory and use ESPHOME as an option. Or, they’re devices where I bought the sensors and microcontrollers and wired them up myself and put ESPHOME on the microcontroller.

    For me, I love walking into a room and the lights turning on. If it’s night, the lights are red to not jolt me awake. Later in the night, they’re dim and a bit more orangey rather than bright white. These are QOL improvements that I would not want to go back to not having.

    My garage doesn’t have any of the standard RF “clickers”/4-digit-code-panels connected because they’re garbage, but I have a relay sitting on it that I can remotely trigger and open the garage. I have motion sensors so that if no one has been in the garage for the last 5 minutes and the door is open, it’ll close the garage door (this was because people kept forgetting it was open.) I have sensors to let me know when the windows are open at the same time as the heating/air conditioning to try and prevent burning money. None of this is internet enabled, but it is controllable over my network and my network is accessible over my VPN.

    If the humidity is high in the bathrooms, it assumes someone is taking a shower and turns on the exhaust fans if they’re not already on. This can help prevent mold from growing. There are some real benefits to things being smart and I do 100% agree with you that apps that send data to companies on when we’re home/away and all that are BAD, but, if you plan ahead you can have your cake and eat it too, but the number of choices for equipment you’ll have will be lower, but at least your stuff will keep working regardless of internet access and regardless of whether the company that made the equipment is still around or not.

    I have my bathroom fan turn on if the lid has been open more than 45 seconds … some things you just don’t (yet) know you need to be smart :-D

    For me, all of our lights are smart (some bulbs with smart switches that talk to the smart bulbs and some just smart switches), but, everything needs to be able to function like it’s dumb … nothing needs an app to function. The wall switches will function as expected … home assistant adds additional functionality, voice commands add extra functionality, but, it all works as you’d reasonably expect it to if you just go and hit the wall switch.

    My grandma quit using a program that basically attempted to break your habits.

    She did things like:

    -if you normally have a smoke break at noon, wait til 12:30. Tomorrow do it at 11:30 instead

    -If you normally use a lighter, switch to matches, tomorrow use a lighter.

    -On Monday, Wednesday,Friday switch to a different brand of cigarettes … next week go the opposite days.

    -Smoke, but every other drag put a pen in your mouth instead.

    -Only allow yourself to smoke half a cigarette and then chew a stick of gum for the rest of the time you would normally smoke

    -Alternate smoke breaks between smoking and chewing nicotine gum or using the patch (I don’t think she used the patch so I’m guessing on that one).

    And just a lot of things like that that didn’t specifically stop you from smoking, but attempted to stop it being a mindless thing that you just do on reflex without much thought and made it so before lighting up she’d have to think about what the current rules are … at a certain point, the habit has been broken and you don’t seek it… it worked great for her. Was a 6 month or so process and then she never went back once she finished her last pack.

    There was a whole program around it with those types of rules and things you’d do and time restrictions on certain days and stuff … sorry, she passed a few years back and I can’t ask her the name of the program.

    Good luck! Just remember that even if you lapse, any length of time that you’re able to smoke less or stop smoking all improve your overall health! Even if you have a setback, any time that you stop is still a win!

    From their webpage … sounds pretty cool:

    Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features, plus a few extras.

    Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.

    You’re Welcome! An extra safety measure might be to do a clone on all your repos to ensure you’ve got a local copy of them all and absolute worst case you’ll have a couple of levels of backup plans, but up until pretty recently they were pretty much the same app just re-skinned, so, I think you’ll be fine.
