    @cadusilva Super! Thank you so much!

    I’m running 2 of the 5 and my mom uses another. (93 year old mom using a password wallet at all is a major victory)

            @cadusilva using pass[1] just because they can't take gpg and git away (or i'd have way bigger problems)

                  @cadusilva Given that NordPass seem to have just deep-sixed all their public GitHub repos (aside from the autofill scripts), I'd say that's probably not a good sign for them either.

                            We are in a bizarre fuqing universe. 🤯

                            I have always loved old tech, since I was a kid. But never more than I loved the future of tech. Now it seems like old tech is gonna be the only way we save ourselves from new tech.

                            Will I someday trade my iPad Pro and WiFi hotspot for a 486 and dial-up, so I can communicate with people not inflicted with AI brain rot? 🤔

                                  @brettm @cadusilva just use the same password everywhere and write it down on an easily accessible post-it note

                                      @mtconleyuk @cadusilva Were they to have done so in order to move to an alternative public repo instead (not you, GitLab); yes.

                                      Were they to have... not done that; no.

                                        @e12 @cadusilva I'll stick around with Vaultwarden to be honest, let's see how it goes
