Hahah okay man. Have a good one

I kinda get what you’re saying, but it’s not like I’m writing the password manager myself. The updates are automatic, and when it’s not updating the VM it’s hosted on has network restricted to everything but wireguard and for the bitwarden service. For me to get hacked, there would have to be a zero day exploits for my hypervisor, wireguard, and bitwarden all on the same day.

I understand what you’re getting at, but it’s not a publicly hosted service. It’s literally just for myself.

Alright, I’ll entertain this a little. Besides the one issue that I just brought up, there are no other issues. I host a dozen other things, and the VM I have it on is sandboxed besides the wireguard tunnel, so security isn’t a problem.

The better question, is why not self host?

Check out RethinkDNS. It lets you setup multiple wireguard tunnels, and assign what apps are affected by what tunnel

Uh. You know you’re responding in a self hosting community right? Should I explain why we’re all here?

This is so close to what I need. Unfortunately I have a self hosted bitwarden, and when the app is installed it doesn’t auto fill passwords in apps to the other account

My dummy is three-ish. There is no randomly chewed plastic, but if I’m sitting at my desk and not giving him my full attention, he’s chewing on everything

So if the device is functional you can use the manage-bde command in command prompt to disable. But that’s only if the original motherboard is functional, because the key is stored in the TPM chip on the board.

That’s the problem I personally deal with, someone spills soda on their laptop or something, usually that sucks but I can get the data. With bitlocker and no account? Data is gone gone

I get it, but as someone who has had to tell little old ladies their data is fucked, I am beyond pissed at Microsoft’s implementation. They should not be encrypting data without forcing lay people to have backup codes printed or on a flash drive or something.

They’re doing this because they want to force people to her Microsoft accounts, probably just to collect more data.

And for the record, I am very pro encryption The half assed way of encrypting even if there isn’t a Microsoft account connected and therefore no way to save keys somewhere is completely unacceptable

Hah is there a rash of nursing home break ins that I’m unaware of? I’m in the field, the way that is happening is phishing with fake ads and emails

Very few people are breaking into a laptop for cookies, it’s tremendous amounts of work, and is usually targeted. Motherboards die all the time, and take the TPM with them

Not nearly as much. If someone breaks their motherboard in half but the hard drive is okay, I can get their data unless they have bitlocker. Microsoft is encrypting drives and storing the keys in the TPM only, and it is insane. My grandma doesn’t have state secrets on her laptop, she doesn’t need encryption.

Respectfully, hard disagree and terrible take. I work in IT, and your stance only makes sense if people have some tech knowledge. Which is never going to happen for the average person.

I can’t tell you how many older people I’ve had to tell that I can’t save their grandkids first pics because of bitlocker

Yo same. Originally got pfizer, the place I went to this year was out though, had to get moderna. I was all achy the next day and just slept through it

Yeah I only took the first bit of bait. Good to know the dude is a bad faith asshat

You’re a fucking dumbass who is confusing dumb ass libertarians with actual anarchists.

I personally use goharddrive and serverpartdeals on eBay and have had good luck, but I’m always looking for others

Hah well, I just tested the built in graphics and it worked. If you wanna give me more details on what you have I can try to help

Nice, where do you get yours?

Portability/modularity/plus I have an Intel Arc GPU. The drivers just played nicer on Windows when it comes to transcoding (which you said wasn’t an issue.) But most of my services are on separate barebones VMs because they’re just easier to work with.

I went with a “traditional” desktop because I already had a big ass Be Quiet! Dark Base 900 Pro. Also I don’t trust hardware raid, and a regular desktop is infinitely more flexible.

For instance: I threw two GPUs in there! Little one for transcoding, big one for gaming. So I can play a game while my girlfriend watches a movie in the other room. Plus I can keep shoving drives in there until I run of room. A dedicated NAS is much more limited

Hm so are you trying to pass through your onboard graphics?
