Im sorry but how else do you drive 2 hours into the middle of the woods where there are no other people around so you can get away from godawful society for a while if not owning your own car? Im certainly not going to pay someone else to drive me out to a favorite low/no traffic spot just to show everyone where it is and then ruin it.
As someone who works in infosec, that’d honestly be an ideal outcome. Because users don’t check their sources.
What would be better is if countermeasures such as not allowing that kind of code to be run by the theming engine and also code scanning on the repository with automatic takedowns on detection were put in place.
Its entirely their fault, but it happens, and we should account for that by doing things like making these posts where people come specifically to read.
Thats a good point. I wonder how difficult it would be to package vaults as a standalone .exe or get it onto the Microsoft store like how Kate is.
If I have skills in python and mostly work on ETL-style scripts, how difficult would it be to jump in and try to make this happen? Im just now learning ADO pipelines at work, but I don’t really work with compiled code.
I use plasma vaults! Its great for homework folders and tax information!
One frustration with vaults though is that theres no clean way to make a portable vault on a USB stick or backed up to a cloud provider (nextcloud, google drive, etc) without digging into weird dot-folder paths and manually entering links to these in a text config file. FUSE-style integration would be rad.
EDIT: The primary use case for this would be to be able to carry sensitive information around like PII, tax, password vaults, family photos, documents, and so on, in such a way that you always have it on you (like on a keychain) or backed up elsewhere, and would be especially useful in cases of disaster - but if you drop and lose it somewhere, a malicious actor doesnt suddenly have your data.
Im not huge on the curve change on the besier curve node icon. I like the thicknes, but it didnt need to become perfect U’s.
Also, for the join-node icon, its nice that you reduced the number of elements, but the nodes should be joined to show the end result. Right now the join and unjoin look the same with the arrows pointing different directions.
It trips me out reading PIM as Personal Information Manager and not Privileged Identity Management (on-demand escalation of privileges, like sudo, but more granular and usually for a user-specified amount of time)
Nope, I also use it for many of these things. They’re not alone by a long shot.
If you want to continue to use X11, you are free to simply not update your machine any further. It’s unlikely you value security, so this shouldn’t be an issue for you.
