My fellow fedizens, i have done it.
I have applied #BitRitter to https://nlnet.nl/propose/ in the category "Open Call". Well at least 2 features i want to implement.
Wish me luck.
If you have an awesome Mobile FOSS Project, maybe you want to apply too? Deadline is 2024-06-01 so this friday. Application process took me about half an hour, so that's doable.
Nun ja, auch wenn Passkey was gutes ist und von grossen Firmen bereits angeboten im Einsatz ist, fast keine kleinere Firma investiert in die Tools daführ. Dies auch mMn weil sie es als "zu teuer & unnötig" ansehen.
»Chance verpasst – Webauthn-rs-Entwickler hält Passkeys für geplatzten Traum: #Passkey's sollen Anmeldevorgänge sicherer und benutzerfreundlicher machen. Der Entwickler einer #Webauthn-Bibliothek für #Rust sieht das Vorhaben inzwischen als gescheitert an.«
🧵 …wie im obigen verlinkten Artikel schon erwähnt, kann ich durchaus @bitwarden oder deren in Rust entwickelten Klon @vaultwarden_releases empfehlen, obwohl ich persönlich @keepassxc bevorzuge und über eine @nextcloud Instanz die Daten zwischen den Geräten synchronisiere 🔑
@bitwarden Today I got this in #Firefox. According to this notification you are asking for "Access browser activity during navigation" permission which according to the Firefox documentation (link at the end of this toot) means either
Detect when streamed videos are about to play and provide a download feature
Look for and prevent ad pop-ups from opening
Is there any documentation on #Bitwarden that explains which one you need and why?
Każdemu komu rekomenduje założyć sejf w aplikacji #bitwarden od razu polecam kupić pendrivea za 20-30zł i robić szyfrowane kopie od czasu do czasu, a sam takich nie mam :D
Czas to zmienić! Kupiłem małego sandiska, utworzyłem szyfrowany kontener z pomoca #veracrypt i na niego zrzuciłem backup.
#Bitwarden Authenticator app! Finally an open-source alternative to #Authy. The app looks very nice and modern on Android. Can't wait for sync support.
Same API, same features, same UI, and support for other DBs than MSSQL.
One single stand-alone application vs. Bitwarden’s 10 Docker containers. 70MB of RAM vs. 2GB. 3MB of db storage vs. 300MB.
Why was a password manager supposed to take so many resources in the first place? Just because it runs on a Microsoft-only stack and on .NET’s inefficient VM? Just because somebody thought that it was a good idea to separate everything into different containers (even icons and 2fa are modeled as separate services in Bitwarden)?
It reminds me of my recent migration from Mastodon to Akkoma. I got more features, 5GB of RAM freed up and 300GB of storage freed up almost overnight.
Writing and running inefficient software that pointlessly consumes all the resources available on a machine should be a crime in a world with limited resources.
It makes me think of how much shitty bloated software like @bitwarden, probably based on awfully inefficient languages and frameworks like Java, Ruby on Rails and .NET, is running out there, pointlessly sucking up resources for doing simple jobs that could easily be done with 99% less resources.
Today’s developers, spoiled by IDEs, powerful machines, docker-compose and shortsighted “just throw more RAM at the problem” approaches, have forgotten how to write efficient software. Time for them to learn how to write good efficient software again. Software doesn’t eat the world. Only shitty software built on shitty framework does.
I could self-host the family's password manager… probably don't want to do it on the home NAS. Maybe a tiny cloud server? I think it just needs Docker access, a port, and a little storage.
Making progress with #BitRitter. Slow, but steady.
Today i implemented a password input to unlock the #BitWarden / #VaultWarden vault, so we can soon remove a part of the credentials.toml (which was just a workaround for faster testing) and make the app safer. #Relm4 feels nicer the more i get to work with it.
Sadly my ARM CI did not work as nicely as the x86, so i can't package for my phone easily.
My first (very incomplete and WIP) iteration of my #MobileLinux#BitWarden client. It ia usually not ready for others to use, but i need to publish it to stay motivated.
Works with #VaultWarden aswell. You have to build it fron source though, for the time being.
