Or maybe I misremember... I know my machine at the time got upgraded to 24MB so maybe it was that machine I was running.

Anyway it's neat this can still be done.

I know what you mean though, I use it but it’s never quite right. Hard to say exactly why.

Once I moved to a password manager I realised how clunky and poor dragging a Keypass vault around was.

To suggest they have a copy of your passwords is to misunderstand what they're doing. It's the same as saying you host your Keypass on Dropbox so now Dropbox have a copy of your passwords/secrets.

The value they are providing is seamless sync between a huge range of platforms/devices and making it as frictionless as possible to entry your password when you need to (biometrics to unlock the vault, browser addons to seemlessly enter the passwords etc)

Your Dad has a single point of failure for all his accounts. That's not a win.

Of course the price between 1pass and Bitwarden reflects why 1pass is so much better. And you don't really realise how clunky BitWarden is if it's all you use, until you also have to use some other password manager.

Idiots will have anything marketed to them.

It didn’t take 25 years for SSL. SSH. Gzip encoding on HTTP pages. QUIC. Web to replace NNTP. GPRS/HSDPA/3G/4G/5G They all rolled out just fine and were pretty backwards and forwards compatible with each other.

The whole SLAAC/DHCPv6/RA thing is a total clusterfuck. I’m sure there’s many reasons that’s the case but my god. What does your ISP support? Good luck.

We need IPv6 we really do. But it seems to this day the designers of it took everything good/easy/simple and workable about v4 and threw it out. And then are wondering why v6 uptake is so slow.

If they’d designed something that was easy to understand, not too hard to implement quickly and easily, and solved a tangible problem it’d have taken off like a rocket ship. Instead they expected humans to parse hex, which no one does, and massive long numbers that aren’t easily memorable. Sure they threw that one clever :: hack in there but it hardly opened it up to easy accessibility.

Of course hindsight is easy to moan but the “It’s great what’s the problem?” tone of this article annoys me.

This is the “Building my entire livelihood on Facebook, oh no what?” all over again.

Oh no sorry I forgot, your laptops LLM can draw a potato, let me invest in you.

I think I’ve discouraged about 250 so far!!

What a wonderful project.
