Hello everyone who follows me. It looks like my time has come. I finally got a PSU for my new server hardware (5 years old instead of 10 years old, and 20gb ram instead of 2gb)
So this means I can finally self host gotosocial and I'm excited to try it out. I'll be migrating my account hopefully some time this month, not sure what domain I'm gonna use yet tho.
> how much value is there in password managers if you give no advice about passwords? selfhosted vaultwarden behind 7 proxies doesn't help if all the passwords stored in it are "password"
Mostly the value is that it forces the user to collect and inventory thier passwords, and to back them up. IMO the primary most significant risk involved in using passwords is that you lose the password and you get locked out of your account forever, I believe this accounts for over half of all password related problems, and often has the most severe consequences.
Also, I don't know if vaultwarden will warn you about weak or already leaked passwords, but I know things like 1password and bitwarden will.
I am a web technologist who is interested in supporting and building enjoyable ways for individuals, organizations, and communities to set up and maintain their own server infrastructure, including the hardware part.
I am currently working full time as an SRE 😫, but I am also heavily involved with Cyberia Computer Club and Layer Zero
