Hoping for another Moonlight/Sunshine moment! Already running Vaultwarden, rbw, and Keyguard. Just need a simple FOSS browser extension for autofill and editing entries.
For context, Moonlight was created first as a FOSS Nvidea gamestream client. Then Sunshine was created as a FOSS server implementation. Later, Nvidia dropped "official" support, now the two projects are a FOSS stack built atop a formerly proprietary protocol.
Once again, enshittification by the fucking suits.
Early on I decided to use only KeePass for full personal control instead of an online service. Didn't regret making that decision.
Fuck
Oh no, and I just setup Vaultwarden
Vaultwarden can't exist without "leeching" off of Bitwarden.
Why not? No reason mobile apps and browser extensions can't be forked.
I am confused. Aren’t their clients open source? How many milliseconds will take till 100s folks will fork it?
Their server is useless and Vaultwarden is already a superior option
While I agree that they are a “at risk” company, I don’t think the software itself is at risk
I fucking knew this would happen years ago. Something always smelled "off" about BW.
namely the VC funding and the huge resource hungry clients to me
Glad I started using Vaultwarden a while back. Just need to find better apps for android and Firefox I guess because I'm guessing they're going to try to break compatibility.
I could care less that he removed inclusion, if that was all it was. But it got replaced by "innovation", which coming from a guy who proudly lists his private capital ventures sounds like a dog whistle for figuring out how to fuck over customers.
Bad portents all around.
Well fuck this
Damn I guess I’m going back to keepass again since I am not really interested in hosting a vault
