  • I’ve been trialing Vaultwarden for a while and while I do like the server sync setup and clean web access, the Bitwarden browser plugin is just okay despite being an “enterprise” solution. It misses probably about 20% of websites when creating a new account, forcing you to grab the password from the generator history and make a new entry manually.

    KeepassXC is much better in that regard, and it’s almost as good as the default credential handler of Firefox, and it lets you set up a bunch of custom stuff to extend the functionality if you want. Plus it has some neat kbdx options aside from AES256.

    Only downside is syncing, which I’m debating how I’ll deal with something better than syncthing on android (protocol is great, android makes it a PITA to have a background process if its not Google spyware).



  • Israel was an insane ethnostate movement long before they even gained independence. There’s a reason why an overwhelming majority of former colonial states criticized Israel’s existence during its very inception.

    Had the Zionist movement never taken off, Mandatory Palestine would probably have just become a regular old state like Lebanon or Jordan, Lebanon even has a pretty hefty Christian population right after Muslims, yet you don’t see them in some constant genocidal warfare campaign against each other.

    Even weirder, Judaism itself was against the idea of forming a Jewish state without a Messiah for thousands of years, but at some point the radical branch became the overwhelming majority. Orthodox Jews are completely outnumbered by their Zionist counterparts which have transformed Judaism into a complete ethnic superiority cult akin to the Aryan superiority of the Nazis. You have to be born a Jew, you can’t just join because you want to (unless you dedicate your entire life into it, and still with caveats).

    You’ll see thousands of comments like “Anti-Israel is not Antisemitism”, but at some point you need to address the elephant in the room. The current mainstream “Judaism” is very much an ethnic supremacy group by design. You can’t effectively criticize Israel without pointing out that its actions are overwhelmingly supported by their citizens because of their religion. Everything they do in their eyes is completely justified because they view everyone not in their ethnic group as subhuman.




  • It’s not specified but I’m pretty sure that not many Americans actually care about Thailand as an expat location, they would probably dream of something in central or South America.

    Now British on the other hand… you can just vaguely point at any country that ever so happened to touch the British empire lol.

    I would much rather deal with the typical American tourist than a British tourist. There’s a difference between ignorance and arrogance.



  • This jackass thinks he accomplished the impossible by offering up PAF as a security service and inviting people to a hotel for negotiations which everyone already knew would fail.

    He also spent his entire career shanking Pakistan and pummleing it into the ground in literally every aspect which includes hundreds of assasinations, hundreds of thousands of arrests, and Infinite torture to anyone who dares to speak the truth.

    Oh and he promoted himself to the lifetime FM position for hiding in a bunker while the PAF did his job for him in 2025 with the skirmish with India.


  • Most ludicrous crap were their comments and cries of being “neutral” while hundreds of aircraft were actively taking off and landing from their US bases lol. Someone on lemmy was even claiming that Iran shouldn’t have attacked the GCC because they were “nominally neutral” lol.

    Iran did what no country has effectively done before; they kicked the American empire in the nuts.

    Every country and their mom that bought into the US hegemony is suddenly facing the sharp consequences of an adversary whose original “mistake” was overthrowing its own US backed regime.

    Half the UN is calling Iran daily to put on a permanent ceasfire, but now they have zero reason to after crippling the petroleum supply line for only like four and a half weeks.

    The temp ceasfire expires in 2 days, and I fully expect the strait to close again for a long time as the fighting resumes.



  • EDIT: By far not the most, but I thought it was worth sharing

    I’ll have to dig it up again but it was a video with voiceover showing how a stray dog was burying her dead pup using her only her snout.

    She dug out a spot gently using her front legs without kicking the dirt back, carefully placed the dead pup gently into the hole, and then slowly buried it by pushing dirt with her snout repeatedly until the hole was filled.

    The voiceover was just explaining that dogs typically dig by kicking their front legs to launch the dirt behind them, and vice versa for filling holes by turning around and kicking in the opposite direction. But for the dead pup, the dog intentionally chose to use her snout to cover the hole.

    It could have been any other cheesy social media forward, but it was pretty interesting to see how a mother dog treats her dead pup with respect and visual sadness in her facial expression.






  • I’m too lazy to find my 3 year old comment but it went something like “AAA games are about as AAA as the mortgage bonds were in 2007”.

    The era of the AAA gold standard is long gone. You no longer need a million dollar studio bankrolled by a big name publisher/console to make a groundbreaking AAA game.

    Most if not all of those studios have been cost cutting for the past decade to maximize profit which is how we reached the current market of UE5 slop and DoA live service games.

    There’s even an entire YouTube channel dedicated to showing how many current “AAA” titles have regressed in graphical optimization and quality from older game engines due to the lack of proper development, despite the advancement in consumer hardware.




  • Literally what is the point of this besides inducing users into expanding their future userbase? This is like the Simpsons spoof where the army gets elementary school kids to pre-enlist.

    My first ever email is my first name that I lucked out on a very big domain and aside from the showoff of looking cool, it has been utterly destroyed by spam and people with the same name putting in a dummy email for whatever form they fill out.

    So unless you want your kid to have some oddly specific and famous email address, there is zero difference in just making one when you need to.

    Also:

    Stronger legal protection

    Your data is safeguarded under Switzerland’s strict privacy laws, some of the strongest in the world.

    What a joke bruh. Piratebay had better OPSEC than these fed sucking morons, and they had their servers constantly seized after the USA got involved.

    Proton folds under zero pressure when they so much as so get a hint of a warrant. Don’t even jump in here with a “Privacy is not Anonymity” and “muh Swiss laws” response. They specifically advertised such capability until the government came after them, and then only changed their policy after assisting them in providing access logs and fingerprint data for that french climate activist.

    They know their marketing material makes it sound much better than it really is, and they know that no one reads the fine print. Metadata not being protected is a critical difference, and it’s how a solid chunk of the NSA’s data collection schemes function.

    Imagine for a moment that you started an Anti-Google campaign and happened to have a protonmail account. They could just lobby the US government to go smack Switzerland’s face, and next thing you know you’re being detained in a 5 eyes country for exercising free speech, despite them claiming to only provide such metadata to police under “criminal activity”.
