    The forgejo discussion is great and has an overlooked detail. The reason the Dutch government wants to switch:

    / Gi: ICC having their MS accounts blocked

    • Made them very aware of ecosystem fragility
    • Looked at their dependencies and alternatives
    • Digital sovereignty: Hot topic ^^

    NordPass’s annual password trend report confirmed what we all suspected – Gen Z is worse than Boomers when it comes to using insecure passwords (if you’re looking for strong passwords, just use Home Assistant’s hardware names and they’ll be uncrackable)

    I believe in long, complex, and complicated passwords. One of the things I’ve taught myself is how to create long, complex, and complicated THAT I CAN REMEMBER! Making long, complex passwords is a snap. Remembering them is where it’s at. Cue relevant xkcd cartoon. At my age, that can be quite the trick.

        I do use Bitwarden, however to boot any computer in my lab, it requires a system/BIOS password, an encryption passphrase, and and OS password to get to the desktop. LOL So, Bitwarden is of no use in that scenario. I guess I could put everything on a usb key, but then again I want ‘them’ to have to beat me with a pipe wrench until I cough up the passwords.

      When I saw who was purchasing them I knew it was bad for the hobbyist users.

      QC is such a bad company. Sueing their customers because they want to use non QC chips in phones with QC chips.
