To access your account you need to type your master password, the same password that is used decrypt your vault. If a competent hacker gains access to the Bitwarden servers they could install a compromised login page that logs master passwords and with that gain access to password vaults.
Sounds far-fetched maybe, but your password security depends completely on the ability of Bitwarden to protect their servers. The encryption is just a minor hurdle once the servers are compromised.
Note that 2FA doesn’t help since it is not used for vault encryption.
My commute to the office is about a 10 mins walk - maybe that’s the difference with many others here. Either way, I like the separation between work and home. I also believe that online meetings and chat are not a great substitute for actually talking to people, especially when you are building something together.
Not sure what your rationale is for saying it’s only useful for extremely niche use cases. I would be curious to know why you think so.
I once looked into extracting the CMake build system generation code and make it into a standalone library. But I soon realized that it’s not exactly a weekend project.
Seeing this more and more often nowadays. No matter how good the article, if I cannot read it I won’t stick around.
What padding?
When a US colleague transferred from our US office to our European office they were surprised and a little shocked that they were required to register their address with the local authorities. They felt that the government had no right to know where they lived.
For me, as a European, I was quite surprised about the opposite. How is it possible to have a functioning government without proper records about who lives where?
Only after the realization that the US does not keep records about who lives where did things like voter registration make sense to me.
