We all have knives built into our mouths, we could just be using those!

Why do you have knives in your kitchen, when everything you could do with a knife can be done with a spoon?

That’s good, if at least one surviving synced device survives then you still have access. Still a big “if” in a catastrophe, but a much better proposition.

What is the data retention policy for the local vaults?

Thanks for your useful and actionable feedback that clearly explains the problem. So trustworthy /s

No, my problem is that I need my password manager to access my backup, and I need my backup to get my password manager.

Why would you use a knife when you can cut anything with a spoon, if you give it a bit of force?

I don’t trust my setup for something like this.

My server and NAS go down in a fire, and I’m not gonna have the key I need to get the backup so I can restore my password manager lol

I’m gonna pick up a few of these I think.

That NoteDicovery looks pretty slick. Its exactly what I was looking for a few months ago, and I’d absolutely pick it up if I didn’t just fall in love with the silverbullet’s ability to execute code embedded directly in the markdown; a feature that I expect to use almost never, but atotally smitten with.

As a side note, all these email archiving projects almost do something I want, maybe folks here can help me:
I’ve heard that self-hosting email is not worth the pain, but I also don’t want to leave my email history in the hands of these megacorps I don’t trust. These archive projects solve that problem, but they’re not email clients. I don’t want to archive and delete an email just to find out actually I need to reply to it like a month later.
What do you recommend for this usecase?

He lost some teeth

Here, this will help stop seeing loss

“that’s not real capitalism” seems to be the new “that’s not real communism”.

Capitalism gave unscrupulous people the power to do bad things. It is ignorant to try to absolve capitalism of this.
Capitalism is a tool to concentrate wealth and power, it is absolutely shocked Pikachu when those people use that wealth and power to influence the government to do bad things.

You’re claiming both that the government is the problem for not stopping people from doing bad things, and also you’re saying that the Chicago school was right for pressuring the government to remove their ability to stop people from doing bad things.

Eclipse che was, afaict, the first to really make major progress in this space.

Vscode and codespaces basically stole the whole thing… But then they actually provided it in a way that was easy to use.

So while I don’t like the theft, I think that the result is great, and I don’t like that OP lists it as something nobody wants.

Most cable companies have competition prohibited by law.

And how do you think laws like these came into existence? Capitalists accumulated power and then used that power to influence the government to protect their business.

You’re so close but for some reason you refuse to accept that business can and does influence the government.

But beyond that, the regulations we’re talking about were anti-monoply regulations. Despite you saying that the Chicago school is anti-monoply, they pushed to defang regulations that combated monopolies. Your justification is that regulations create monopolies, but you provide no reasoning why defanging anti-monoply regulations would reduce monopolies.

That lack of intervention is what created the conditions
Capitalism naturally moves towards monopoly. Government regulation prevents monopolies. Capitalism accumulates power. Capitalists use that power to influence the government into letting them accumulate more power, until they have enough power to remove the regulations that prevent monopolies, then the capitalists form monopolies, then we get the very situation that we’re describing.

Ok, I think we’re not really disagreeing, we’re just fighting about language.

Yes if you follow the directions and pay close attention then you won’t end up with burnt popcorn.

But a lot of the time the directions specifically say not to use the popcorn button, when you really should, so in that case following the directions will give you what you want but there is a much better way.
When you said to actually follow the instructions, I thought you were more or less blanket agreeing with that part of the instructions too.

So I think we were talking past eachother for a bit there.

Jokes on you, us pendants are actually immune to humour.

Sort of.

I was trying to highlight the clear inevitable outcome, rather than highlight who to blame.

Maybe I misunderstood.

Whan you say “follow the instructions”, which instructions are you saying to follow?
Instructions on the internet, instructions on stovetop popcorn, or instructions on microwave popcorn?

The Chicago school opposes monopolies and bailouts, but they support the conditions that inevitably lead to monopolies and too-big-to-fail companies.

I feel like you stopped reading after the sentence that you quoted. Here, let me repeat the rest for you

If your microwave has a popcorn setting that uses sensors, is almost always the best option. Some use humidity, some use a microphone, some use both.

They have sensors to detect that for you. Sometimes using literal microphones
