This guy is like one of those “pranksters” who harass people for clicks. You have no idea what a repo owner might already be struggling with, so no, I don’t find that funny.

In 12 months… vibe code mess. Or discontinued. Or both.

Did you really read documents about the history? Your wording suggests 'no'.

I once had to restore around 2 TB of RAW photos. The app was a mess. It crashed every few hours. I ended up manually downloading single folders over a timespan of 2 weeks to restore my data. The support only apologized and could not help with my restore problem. After this I cancelled my subscription immediately and use local drives for my backups now, drives which I rotate (in use and locations).

I never trust them again with my data.

Thanks!

Codex was generating code, that began with ... Copyright [real name] ...

My fear were not patents, because the code is too simple, but similarity to existing code from this company. I did not know if this could lead to problems if the architecture or the code itself is too similar.

I am using my own Mail Server (mailcow) beside my old gmail and other adresses. But for convenient, searchable offline Backups, I use Mailsteward (macOS) ... if it is of interest for someone: https://mailsteward.com

(alternatives for other OS: https://alternativeto.net/software/mailsteward/)

Then I put the database on multiple backup locations regularly.

Another thing, some people do not already know: If you don't need a throwaway-adress for some services, and you just want to make your mailbox more structured, you can use '+' before the '@' to add another word to your email adress.

Like: [email protected]

The +randomName will be ignored and the emails are received at [email protected]. But most Servers (I use) will put a '[randomName]' before the subject of the received email. Which can be quite handy for handling your emails. Even more, if the company uses multiple different adresses to send you emails.

I use 2 yubikeys. I registered both on multiple services. So… yes, it is possible. One key is a backup if the other key stops working.

It's like huffduffer.com It is always good to have more choice - in case a service dies. Thank you for the information about Fourble!

Is this the worlds longest open bug? Or can anybody beat Jetbrains?
