Nothing against the message, but this is an ad. Should the weird cropping didn’t give it away.

Schizophrenic I doubt, but how on earth could he NOT have delusions of grandeur? Rich as fuck, does the most stupid shit, still get elected to be the representing spearhead-figure of the US, does even more stupid things and yet people love him and even get tattoos of his fuckface…

If that doesn’t skew your self-criticism to “dang, I really must be frigging awesome” in an unhealthy way, what could?

How about a cheaper and easier solution? Get a fingerprint sensor, use this one to unlock the database each time you use it. Fast, comfortable, secure. Got mine directly beside the keyboard.

Make all my tools again? I mean I have all the time in the world to pursue my hobbies but that’d be a good dent in time :-) With games it’s also about MODS. Even if the game might run, the mods mostly won’t. And I prefer mod-able games. Didn’t say it was Linux’ fault. It sure ain’t. Ok the shortcuts aren’t really an issue, that’s right.

And it’s not that I don’t KNOW Linux(es) and its benefits. As said, I am running numerous linux-machines. But just no UI. MS anti-consumer practices mostly don’t phase me either. The corporate versions of everything are way less hostile, pihole+firewall+strongly restrictive group-policies do the rest.

Linux would be greatest as the cost of one MS-Server-license alone could be a whole Xeon-Proxmox-machine running 50 linux-machines :)

No arguing with you. If I’d be just a reddit-surfing user that occasionally games a thing and does some office-stuff, there would be no reason at all for MS. I probably wouldn’t even notice the difference. But I would not even get drivers AND the controller-app for my Soundcard (creative x7 LE), and this one is VITAL. It’s not about putting time and effort into it, it’s just too many problems with no solutions for having not a tremendously great reward in the end. I would just tinker different things so that the shit does work.

I’m having ca 20 servers at home and the majority of those are linux. I love it. My main rig is still windows and will probably stay that way unless win12 won’t finally cure what pisses me off so damn much with 11. They won’t, obviously. But migration would be very hard. Most of my tools won’t run, most of my self made tools won’t run, most of my games won’t run, most 4 decades of internalization of shortcuts won’t cut it short anymore. And I won’t even start with the domain migration horrors as this one’s still MS. I would end up dual booting for eternity until I stop booting up one of the two.

So…my point is. I use the right tool for the right job.

Sure, but it’s still just trusting others. Ok,maybe it’s just my paranoia speaking…

Ok this has some right for existence… Yet,just being oss isn’t always the point alone. Without checking the code myself I still just have to trust.

Wouldn’t trust a gov app in europe either. But then again i don’t trust any app and have them firewalled at least .

Using it on my own server since… Ages ☺️ Can only recommend it. Even though google’s results are often… Weird up to completely unhelpful.

And what is it with my attitude? To have a strong opinion?

I remember the times where we didn’t have a tiny computer with us all day to be reachable. And if I’d be lonely because i don’t give a rats ass about WA, fb and the likes, that’d be indeed lonely but not due to that

This is sadly the exact reason it will stay like this. People can’t reach me because i don’t use WhatsApp? Well bad luck. Use a better app or just don’t. I can’t reach them because they only use WA? What a bummer but so be it.

As long as people install WhatsCrapp because some distant aunt still uses it for the xmas-greetings, it will continue to be #1.

I dunno where you got that shit, but i never suggested to use a file or whatever. I’m keepassxc-user.

That is actually a good idea. I’m not using one rn as i only manually transfer it. Might be worth considering. Thanks

I don’t know. You wouldn’t really need it, if you’re concerned. If you’re fine you can just C&P or even let keepassxc use it’s auto-type. So no addon needed. It’s just more comfortable. And you can never have security AND comfort. Security is absolutely always uncomfortable.

Even IF there was a quantum-safe-cryptography, doesn’t change the fact, that your most private stuff is in a cloud and you have absolutely no idea what the future might bring. And if i have anything in the past decades in the IT, then it’s that there is always a past-past-something.

One can’t hack into where there is no path into :-) Also, whatever you COULD do in the future, a version of your passes where you didn’t do it, already was in the cloud. It’s not like you delete a thing there and it’s totally gone forever.

Yes. The easiest/most reliable is syncthing. Yet there’s the online-component which is inherently vulnerable. Depends on how paranoid you are.
