You should not need an account on a corporate server in order to use software.

Good morning.

running Chromium and using its password manager? It uses an unencrypted sqlite database for your secrets

```

$ file ".config/chromium/Profile 1/Login Data For Account"

.config/chromium/Profile 3/Login Data For Account: SQLite 3.x database, ...

sqlite3 ".config/chromium/Profile 1/Login Data For Account"

sqlite> .tables

insecure_credentials password_notes sync_model_metadata

logins stats

meta sync_entities_metadata

sqlite> SELECT * from logins;

...

```

if you're on Linux, Chromium integrates well with system keyrings like KDE wallet. that means it'll encrypt your secrets and unlock them when you log in. This can be especially nice if you restart a system frequently. I restart one of my systems once or twice daily, and unlocking Bitwarden is getting a bit tedious.

```

chromium --password-store=kwallet

chromium --password-store=gnome

```

if you use nix, you can set a policy to have Chromium use the system keyring (kwallet). Here's my NixOS policies for Chromium:

```

programs.chromium = {

enable = true;

extraOpts = {

# https://chromeenterprise.google/policies/

"SpellcheckEnabled" = false;

"DefaultSearchProviderEnabled" = true;

"DefaultSearchProviderName" = "Kagi";

"DefaultSearchProviderSearchURL" = "https://kagi.com/search?q={searchTerms}";

"SearchSuggestEnabled" = false;

"DefaultSearchProviderSuggestURL" = "";

# 1=Allow, 2=Block, 3=Ask

"DefaultGeolocationSetting" = 2;

"DefaultClipboardSetting" = 2;

#"DefaultNotificationsSetting" = 2;

# "PasswordManagerEnabled" = true;

"PasswordStore" = "kwallet6";

};

};

```

Is there a setting that you always toggle when you create a profile? you can declare it here has a policy, forever.

if you use nix home-manager, you can configure extensions that'll always be present in all your profiles

```

chromium = {

enable = true;

extensions = [

{ id = "nngceckbapebfimnlniiiahkandclblb"; } # Bitwarden

];

};

```

the home-manager module even supports doing that for other derivatives of chromium

```

chromium.package = pkgs.brave;

```

Bitwarden's UI got re-hauled last year and I haven't liked it as much ever since. Using it on my desktop which has long-lived boot sessions makes sense. Using it on my VR machine/workstation makes less sense these days.

If you change your mind, I maintain the nixpkg for albyhub. AMA! I should finish my draft PR to nix-bitcoin for the service module!

couldn't buy my groceries today because moonpay authentication is broken for me. It won't send the verification code email and they don't support something simple like TOTP yet. Then I found that even if I prepay a visa card using bitcoin company, when I try to view that card from a US IP address cloudflare blocks me. Okay. So I use an EU vpn endpoint and get the visa card details. Then when I try to add that visa card to my grocery store account, it fails and the UI says unknown error. But inspecting dev console, I can see the XHR response says AUTHORIZATION DENIED. Sigh.

All this would go away if

A) grocery store gift cards were available on sites like bitcoin company, coincards or bitrefill

B) My grocery store accepted Bitcoin directly

We're still early..

He's probably talking about the nodes pub key.

Still, perfect is the enemy of good. So the criticism seems a little flimsy.

I interviewed some 20 yr old kid today and I feel like 140 years old now

Q: What kind Linux do you use?

A: Amazon Linux

Still better than the guy I interviewed yesterday, who very clearly confabulated his resume and has almost no technical background whatsover.

Apparently HR is sorting candidates by requested salary range

Chainalisys flagged his onchain deposit.. Probably because they were coinjoined or something. Meanwhile they take lightning deposits
