This thread is about KeePass and my comments relate to that. If you pull KeePass2 from the repos in Debian, for example, it’s going to pull the Mono runtime to execute it as well because it’s been built, like most C# apps, for JIT compilation. I doubt it’s even possible to compile KeePass2 using AOT compilation.

This is what the C# KeePass application looks like using the Mono runtime in Debian:

This is KeePassXC:

You can see which has better native integration into the desktop out of the box.

I prefer the KeePassXC fork as it’s written in C++ and not C# so it has better native integration with OSes like Linux, but yeah these are really good solutions with no subscription requirements or necessity to upload to any cloud service.

You’re right, but HTTPS implementation added real, tangible benefits that everyone could understand. I think ECH is a little more abstract for the average user, which is why I compared it to DNSSEC which has notoriously poor buy-in.

Obviously I hope ECH becomes a well-implemented standard. I’m just rather cynical that it’ll be the case.

All well and good, but sadly this relies on the hosts managing DNS to include specific entries in their DNS configuration for keys to use during the encryption process. Unfortunately the vast majority of hosts probably won’t be bothered to do this, similar to DNSSEC.

The lack of proper search has been a defining barrier between Mastodon and similar services. I’m glad it has finally been added. A great improvement alone.

Coincidentally, the last time I opened WordPad was probably 28 years ago.

Absolutely gutted the Lionesses lost in the final, but upon reflection upon the entire tournament it is an absolutely massive achievement to finish as runners up. This will inspire a whole new generation of grassroots players and women’s football fans, and hopefully inspire England to push on, learn some lessons, and hopefully get back there again in the next tournament. The Women’s World Cup overall has been a truly amazing tournament and a great showcase and celebration of women’s football. I’m sad it’s over.

If you enjoyed the tournament, check out the Women’s Super League (WSL) where a lot of these international players ply their trade domestically.

Ah the classic naïveté of the “nothing to hide” argument.

Regardless of the presented reason, it is right that people question and are cautious about increased surveillance. Some people are willing to capitulate to more and more monitoring very easily. Privacy is important.

Plenty.

Debian. I always come back to Debian.

It’s just a rock solid, multipurpose distro that has everything. If you have an issue with some older software versions, you can just track testing or sid and treat it as rolling release or use flatpaks for GUI apps.

To me, Debian is almost perfect.
