An online database is still a file ultimately. A SQL or other DB file stored in a webserver, accessed through a web interface.

Vaultwarden, etc, are the same, only the database file is less directly visible IMO. Keepass IMO is simple. The DB in a bespoke format, stored outside the application.

You could put the vault in system32 and name it "trustedinstaller.log", and if someone saw you had keepass they wouldn't even know where your vault is.

Given the number of well documented breaches of online password vaults, I would much rather do a private device to device sync via syncthing and keep it out of webservers.

Syncthing is encrypted transfers.

The database is encrypted.

And you can set it to not use relays for data, only matchmaking between your own devices.

So it's an encrypted file, encrypted again, and sent directly from an IP you own to an IP you own.

F-Droid syncthing-fork is still actively developed and had a patch in the last few weeks.

So hopefully this isn't the end.

Keepass vault synced over syncthing.

I keep not regretting it.

He defines that as wanting to be in control of the project so long as he has the passion to work on it solo. But it's somewhat implied that if he had to let it go, he may open source his work. I can understand that. DrO was one of the primary and most prolific Winamp plugin devs back in it's heyday as well. So if you ever used Winamp itself (closed source) you have already trusted his code on much more vulnerable OSes, imo.

I feel like he's earned the limited trust this requires.

Kairosoft titles are typically $5 to $7 dollars. Tons of Dev and Tycoon style business builder titles. Most are fantastic.

Well, given the very unorthodox nature of it as it is today, I don't know that Dr0 can legally open source it until he's finished replacing literally all legacy functions with new code, even if they wanted to. But I can understand your position.

Replacing native Winamp code with modern code with frequent updates by one of the most prolific classic Winamp developers.

It's fantastic.

Google has also made unwelcome moves recently indicating they might crack down on sodeloaded app stores. So I'm glad this ruling happened.

Revisiting this many weeks later: what do you think of the idea of super users who can be delegated an ability to silence/quarantine other posters?

Admin

Moderators

Superuser

User

Maybe if they only had the ability to flag a user and put them in "time out, and it couldn't stack or be consecutive from one superuser, etc?

I dunno. It might be a good way to help police the content without making people volunteer to be full on mods. And it can be treated as a semi privileged role, that expires are X months and only X number ofnactive users in good standing can have at once?

A little complex to implement, but it might at least let mods crowdsource the task of stemming the worst of things.

Jesus, why not fine them 5 bucks?

What a joke.
