  • Also, there’s usually no reason as a user to pay monthly for a feature in a self-hosted application.
    The Dev has no monthly costs for that feature. Let me buy the application/feature, and if you need money for a new feature, create a feature that is worth buying again. No need to bully the user into a monthly subscription…






  • Yep, got the same experience as you. Not with nvidia drivers bit my huawei laptop had a broken audio driver where only half of the speakers worked… Unless you plugges in a headphone… Then the headphone and the other half of the speakers worked… All in all, it took me at least a da to get that working

    Also, still no fingerprint support…

    You can do a lot with opensource and tailor it to your need, but you have to invest a lot of time… And that’s what a lot of people don’t have



  • Not the one who wrote initially, but i have the same setup (mostly).
    I went with a self signed certificate. So the server is running with a certificate i have signed with my own certification authority certificate (ca-cert) .
    That means I have to install the ca-cert on all devices to get vaultwarden to accept it.

    The alternative is a let’s encrypt cerrtificate, which are free, but you need to open port 80 (and another one if I remember correctly) for it to work (at least every 3 months)






  • The problem with ads is not a few ads here and there, it’s how it negatively impacts every interaction with those sites:

    • ads that load in later than the rest of the page, because they first need to finish the auction of who gets to show their ads… And bam I again missklicked the link because the whole fucking page got shiftet down a notch
    • needing a short guide how to do something? Yeah first look at these five (5!) ads which are longer than the guide you want to watch, except… The freaking algorithm favors long videos, so the 30 second guides get padded to over 10min…(with more ads inbetween)
    • these ads we show you, yeah they might contain some java script… So you screen them, correct?.. Nonono, we can’t do that at this scale!
    • hey google where can I download this free tool?.. Here is a list with download links… Ehh, the first five are ads and lead to some crazy scam site. Don’t you check what you deliver as ads.?.. Nonono we can’t do that at this scale
    • look at this ad for this shady mobile again for the 25ths time today… But youtube that game doesn’t look at all like in this ad!.. Thanks for your report… Here’s the same fucking ad again!

    There was also a report recently that google also screwed their customers (those companies who pay for the ads) where google showed ads as in-stream ads in some auto-running videos in the background.

    The whole industey is just broken. Present me with non-intrusive, static ads served from your own site and nobody bats an eye (also ad blockers are a non-issue then)
