I'm so glad we migrated away from LastPass (to BitWarden). It was a breach that caused us to move in the first instance.

Yeah I don't want to rain on OPs parade; but this is already a solved problem:

Anyone else got a really weird Chorme pop-up asking which cert to use for su3.io:443?

Very bizarre, never seen that before.

I'm amazed that this is still being discussed.

It's open source, no one is forcing you to use it.

If you don't trust the newer versions; use the old versions.

If you no longer like the maintainer because of reasons, fork it/start your own.

It's not that hard.

Storm in a teacup.

I feel like if you've done any kind of investigation work then this is the normal baseline.

I mean you can argue the same about Telsa, but look at BYD now.

Just because you are first to do x, doesn't mean you are going to be the winner.

Consumer/private needs to be local.

Work? I don't want it local at all. I want it all cloud agent.

This applies to much more than just software, in fact it applies to almost everything.

I don't remember where I read it, but it basically boils down to need vs want.

I've used that rule for deciding between a new car or used. A fancy vacuum or basic.

A shiny new gadget.

Bringing new things into the tech stack.

Picking a new tech stack.

Mythos has been a boon for "look busy" work. My global corp org has been on a bender upgrading everything, patching everything. There is a giant dashboard that shows green/red for everything we have.

I think it's a total overreaction. But the edict was passed down, and here we are go.

Ha! No chance, my case comes in at a beefy 18kg (purchased circa 2008). Some of the components are slowly starting to give up the ghost. My GPU purchased in 2011-03 died a few weeks ago.

So it's happening, unfortunately I'm not paying for new RAM. So I'm planning a new rig around my existing CMK64GX4M4A2400C14 sticks.

Tangent: Author has this fabulous post I'd highly recommend: https://fabiensanglard.net/mjolnir/index.html

I read it once years ago and I come back to it every now and then wishing my current PC (10+ years and going) would gently die so I could finally build something small and tiny.

> She shared her suspicion with another government employee, who reported it.

And what pray tell do you do if you don't have anyone to report it to inside the government? Reports like that can easily get blackholed.

Absolutely not. The value isn't in the cloud storage. The value is in the client (DropBox in my case) seamlessly working across all my devices.
