Few critiques, not personally towards you at all but I really don't think people should follow this approach

People can have hundreds of different passwords across various sites this really isn't achievable

Human memory is terrible as well, it's not a matter of if you forget it's when

Storing in a standard notes file is absolutely terrible security, it's also extremely unusable once you have more than a couple passwords

I really suggest to people using a password manager, most of them have apps for your phone and plugins for your web browser to allow you to autofill. They also allow you to randomly generate passphrases/codes for different sites and the autofill means you never have to remember a single one whilst having extremely strong passwords

I'd recommend looking into either Bitwarden or 1Password

You absolutely should look about moving away from LastPass and to something such as Bitwarden/1Password

LastPass has had major security breach a while back and plays very fast and loose with it's security. It is not recommended

It absolutely shouldn't be possible compromised or not for someone who has gained unlawful access to start pushing malicious code to production as long as proper security is in place

I think it's worth mentioning the most of players of Infinite don't play it through steam but rather through gamepass on PC

The vast majority of players are also on Xbox, Steam metrics are a pretty terrible view in this instance

It seem the pinned thread has been removed discussing the change of megathread on r/Piracy (as far as I can see), it had a link to a new megathread, stating that a mod had write access to the previous one and had started writing comments about the new mod team (though personally I could not see any such comments in the megathread)

It might have been some kind of mistake or misunderstanding then?

Yeah I'm in the same boat, I typically wait for sales and an happy with FOSS software usually. Music wise I'm happy with Spotify since basically everything I need is all under one service

Pirate the shit out of movies and tvshows though. Used to use Netflix, then Netflix + Amazon etc etc and it just got to a ridiculous point where I was using 4/5 streaming services + cable and was still unable to watch certain media. Just pulled the plug and went completely to piracy for it

I do kind of think Reddit will be very hesitant about assigning mods to piracy subreddits since it might look like them encouraging piracy

In all honesty in surprised Reddit hasn't been more heavy handed removing subs like these

I'd say to be wary, the huge benefit of Bitwarden and 1Password Is how they've been independently audited and approved for use.

Protonpass has not as of yet, it's way too early to jump ship and put so much at risk

The marketing around protonpass was also a little scummy

Yeah I agree, some subs are extremely painful when 90% of the comments are things that have been answered 100 times or are available in the megathread

[–] ward2k 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah it seems to be one of the few subs (other than r/coaxedintoasnafu) that is very anti moving off of Reddit

I'd avoid this, YouTube is already aware of the visual storage trick since the video went viral. The person who originally made the GitHub did it more for fun since there's a very high chance of files getting corrupted, videos removed etc

Personally I'm on lemmy.world I think it's the largest community so far and they don't seem to have defederated from many communities so I'm able to subscribe to this one
