This guy is wearing the cyberpunk act two villain starter pack.

I see nothing wrong with someone having two homes.

I do.

I used to get my meals from food pantries and churches.

The rule was: no one gets seconds until everyone’s been served.

If that makes me an evil commie or something, fine. It feels less evil than homelessness and plural homeownership existing at the same time.

The pitch MKBHD seemed to settle on was that Google will probably say, “Yes, we’re taking all of your clicks. BUT, when we do finally send someone to your site, it’s a guaranteed sale.”

Which ignores every part of the internet that isn’t trying to sell you something, but it tracks.

Whether self-hosting stays viable long-term is the real question worth sitting with. Right now it works because Bitwarden’s clients are open source and the server API is public. Vaultwarden implements that API, and the official apps can’t tell the difference. That depends on Bitwarden continuing to publish open source clients and not restricting which servers they’ll talk to — neither of which is guaranteed under new management. The brake on the worst case: self-hosting is a listed Enterprise feature that generates real revenue. Killing it upsets paying business customers. That matters. The catch: what Bitwarden sells to enterprises is their own official server stack, not Vaultwarden. Vaultwarden exists in a space they’ve tolerated but never endorsed. If the calculus shifts, the tolerance ends without any announcement. Just let the API drift until compatibility breaks on its own.

Starting to plan my next migration : Vaultwarden, or completely separate alternative like Psono or AliasVault?

Why did you come back to make this comment?

The Malawi iron man? He’s awesome.

Imagine the things he could have accomplished if he and all the people like him had Burlington, Ontario money, instead of “I had to make this out of scraps” money.

Edit: Bringing up Kamkwamba is pointing at a rags-to-riches story and pretending it’s proof the game is fair.

Crazy the things you can accomplish when your parents have money.

Me, after firing the Cisco CEO: We just made $53 million in revenue!

Short-term, no change.

Medium- and long-term, Bitwarden could cut off access to their clients and go closed source.

Hopefully, Vaultwarden devs take advantage of the early warning and prepare contingencies for if when Bitwarden crosses the point of no return.

Signal CEO Whittaker said that in the worst case scenario, they would work with partners and the community to see if they could find ways to circumvent these rules. Signal also did this when the app was blocked in Russia or Iran. “But ultimately, we would leave the market before we had to comply with dangerous laws like these.”

This is why we need the ability to sideload apps.
