Why not leave your functions but have them invoke the libraries instead?

But there is no such thing as a “genuine” $30 bill.

USB-C ports are more fragile than Lightning - one of the three ports on my laptop will no longer hold cables in place anymore. It also requires more precise alignment to get the cable plugged in.

Bitwarden also increased their prices earlier this year, although it's still less than half the price of 1Password.

Yes. Nobody looks at the long term anymore.

Reading the article, it sounds like this is the other way around? Bitwarden is offering a new API, and OneCLI Agent Vault is integrating with the new API.

They switched from a purchase with local vault storage model (where you could sync it to the cloud if you wanted to) to subscription-only with cloud storage they control.

The "little guy" isn't a publicly listed company issuing reports. By the time you have an IPO, you're no longer little.

True, but you can at least correctly label it and no longer refer to it as a "secure environment".

Seems like restricting posts but not comments from a fresh account would thread that needle pretty well?

Uvix — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 15:55:22 +0000

Those PS3s were sold with official Linux support, so running racks of them wasn't quite as crazy as it might have sounded at first.
