Any reason to use the original Keepass over KeepassXC? Also, tip for anyone using Keepass or KeepassXC: there's an Android app called KeepassDX that supports the keepass database format, so you can keep your passwords synchronized between your computer and phone by simply syncing the database file with Syncthing. No third-party server required!

It still blows my mind that with nixos, setting up and continuously renewing an ssl cert is literally just two lines in the config file. I use nixos on my homeserver, thinking about switching my laptop to it too (currently Void linux).

Yeah exactly. Op's meme looks like the rage comics I used to make on my ipad in elementary school.

Ugh this is me rn. Spent like 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get NixOS to request a new DHCP lease. Reconnecting to the network? Nope, same IP. dhclient? Nope, not on NixOS. systemd-networkd? Keeps throwing some weird error. The solution? Just reboot the damn computer.

In Mac Os you can actually pop open the plastic covers to reveal a pretty advanced control panel that feels oddly like Linux, but you have to do it very quietly, or else Steve Jobs will rise from the grave and slap you across the wrists with a metal ruler

y... you do realise this is a meme, right? If you want to find a specific command that you ran in the past, you can just hit ctrl-r and search for it? No-one is actually spamming the up key, it's a joke.

Delete until start of line. So essentially equivalent to spamming backspace a bunch.

[-] amanwithausername@vlemmy.net 5 points 1 year ago

Wait until they learn that you can ctrl+u when you mistyped your password in sudo instead of spamming backspace...

I remember seeing a version of this meme where for all distros the "users" was in plural, except for gnewsense, where it was just "user", implying that Stallman is the only one who uses it XD

This isn't meant to "mean" anything btw, just a stupid pun.

Panel 1: You want to write a program? Use vim.

Panel 2: [logos of matplotlib, pandas, and R] Need to process scientific data? Also vim.

Panel 3: [LaTeX logo] Writing a report about that data? Vim.

Panel 4: [OpenSCAD, CadQuery logos] 3D modeling? Believe it or not, straight to vim.

It seems every now and again some popular Chrome or Firefox extension decides to "go evil" seemingly out of nowhere.

Stylish got caught logging browser history, The Great Suspender turned out to be spyware, and, in the case of "get cookies.txt", which was endorsed by youtube-dl, apparently the user is not the only one "getting" the cookies.

In most of these cases, it seems that trustworthy extensions get sold off to some shady third parties, or the developers just "turns evil". This got me wondering: would it be an effective security precaution to simply disable updates for browser extensions? i.e. to download the extension manually from the developer, instead of relying on chrome web store / firefox addon catalogue. It wouldn't help much if the extension you're using contains malware now, but it would prevent malware being installed in potential future updates.

So, what do you guys think?
