fizzle

Amazing.

Anywhere on the fediverse. You just start your question with “windows was much easier than Linux because …”

XKCD called this geek sniping. Its like a glitch in the minds of Linux dweebs.

Doesn’t seem to have been live for very long.

I find this discussion fascinating

False. This bot determined that saying “I find this discussion fascinating” had a high probability of appearing human-like.

It can be frustrating looking for the current best alternative. Ive found alternativeto.net to be really good at finding all the alternatives and telling you which are worth a look.

With my own projects, maybe 1 in 10 make it to that kind of “ready to publish” beta quality, and most get abandoned thereafter.

Iys not really because im short on money as such. Its because im just playing around with whatever project, and quickly lose interest once it reaches that “almost kinda done” state.

I dont really see this as a shortcoming of the FOSS ecosystem.

Yes, it is two factor, it’s just that there is no additional factors required to get the TOTP.

If you don’t use a password manager then you just remember your passwords. In this case the second factor is having access to a device that has your TOTP generator.

If you use keepass then you remember the password for your password db, and to access your passwords or TOTP you need access to a device with your keepass db.

Syncthing-Fork is still untrustworthy since the disastrous handover

Maybe I’m OOTL on this?

I thought everyone concluded that it was poorly communicated but ultimately no indication of any foul play.

I don’t. Kinda seems silly to me.

To access a keepass file you already need 2 factors: the master password and access to the file.

Seems s bit extra but ok.

Forgejo seemed to be the winning answer so I tried setting it up. Total setup time was less than 10 minutes.

Just a heads up… I haven’t looked at this since forever ago (when foregjo was gitea), but make sure you have a restore plan. I think there’s a dump command but no restore.

I would like to use bare repos because I don’t share with anyone else and don’t really need the web-ui for issues or wikis or anything.

However, I need git-lfs and if I understand correctly, that doesn’t wont work with a bare repo over ssh.

I was using gitea a while back and they had a way to dump repos and db, but there didn’t seem to be a way to restore. That being the case I switched to gogs which has been great. It was only recently I learned that gogs wasn’t very active and there was some kind of security breach. Mine is only accessible on my LAN so not particularly worried about security.

Anyhow, looking at forgejo now it seems like there still isn’t a great way to restore from backup? I guess that might not matter to me if I’m only interested in the repos and no comments or other stuff that might be in the database.

My rudimentary understanding of physics suggests that vibrations will be more harmful as heat increases.

Yeah earlier in my journey I had a bunch of cheap drives packed in close. They didn’t last. Heat kills drives.

This question comes up all the time with KeepassXC… like its not a 2nd factor if the TOTP is in the same app as the password.

Factor 1 is knowing the master password, and

Factor 2 is having the password file.

Im not trying to suggest the KeepassXC is the best for all uses, but its sufficient for me in this context.

I know there are solutions, but if you never get involved its never your responsibility.

I wouldn’t say it’s “hard”, but taking responsibility for all the photos your wife took of your darling children growing up is… a thing.

There are so, so many options here.

I’ve found alternativeto.net to be a great way to investigate alternative software:

The screen caps on the original project page seem to imply a proper web ui:

Hard to be sure but the menu bar doesn’t look like the native menu.

Either plan is fine.

I’m certainly not an expert on such things but I just didn’t think bridged networks in virtual box (or docker) were intended to work that way.

The behaviour you’re seeing is exactly what i would have expected.

In docker I think the solution would be to use the “host” network adapter on the guest VM.
