I really hope you can do it man. If you need to unload and vent send me a message.

Yes, for mainly 2 reasons:

• it shows your employer that you are willing to learn and grow (and they could even pay for it)
• it adds value to your CV in case you want to leave

Do they make 55" OLED monitors? Only stuff I've seen is LED, and I'm pretty sure the picture/color quality is inferior to proper tv panel

All bridges in London are London's bridge 😂

Well I'm already a bad programmer, at least I save time /j

Seems to me the whole argument boils down to "they (the passkeys) are generally saved in proprietary non-communicating stores", which is fair. But then the problem is not the passkey, it's the fact that we (as usual) give all our stuff to corps. It's the eternal struggle of easy of use vs. better security.

I host my own vaultwarden btw 😊

There is so much old and creaky stuff lying around and people have no idea what it does. Beige boxes in a cabinet that when we had to decommission it the only way to understand what it does was doing the scream test: turn it off and see who screams!

Or even stuff that was deployed as IaC by an engineer but then they left and so was managed "clickOps", but documentation never updated.

When people talk about the Tier1 systems they often forget the peripheral stuff required to make them work. Sure the super mega shiny ERP system is clustered, with FT and DR, backups off site etc. But it talks to the rest of the world through an internal smtp server running on a Linux box under the stairs connected to a single consumer grade switch (I've seen this. Dust bunnies were almost sentient lol).

Everyone wants the new shiny stuff but nobody wants to take care of the old stuff.

Or they say "oh we need a new VM quickly, we'll install the old way and then migrate to a container in the cloud". And guess what, it never happens.

It depends on the client and the security implementations they support. For example IIRC no client support the last version of OMEMO (I think it was about OMEMO, I remember an article about it some time ago). Also are you sure that all the other people's clients are on the same version and you're not susceptible to a downgrade attack?

Unless you are ready to/want to control the whole environment (i.e. at least the clients and possibly the server), look into simplex.chat

Simplex.chat is the current best one AFAIK

Simplex.chat

No identifiers, pfp, FOSS, can route through tor.

Or host your own matrix or xmpp server.
