Just to add - in my experience, exporting from Bitwarden loses a bunch of things - attachments, passkeys and a few obtuse items.

This isn't a good - particularly as passkeys are effectively just certs - migrators should be aware of those caveats.

I have been paying for Bitwarden (BW) premium since 2019 and earlier this year decided to move away from BW due to the password filling becoming somewhat hit-and-miss (even on a fresh install), along with taking its time to do so.

Had previously used Enpass in the past and was pleased to see how much it had improved since then. Also allows me several choices when it comes to where I store my vaults. And fills passwords quickly and efficiently in comparison to BW.

So I've migrated fully to Enpass - clients everywhere, browser plugins available, and it just works.

With this news, it now looks as though my migration was somewhat prescient.

I also use KeypassXC as a backup on USB should it ever be needed.

I found it super ironic how they blathered on about all of the recycling going on in their products, then blatently show all those items being destroyed when they could clearly be recycled.

I do think that the 'rendered' idea was the best - almost thinking differently, or something...:S

It really depends on how much you actually watch on a service.

I thought that £7.99 for D+ was pushing it as there was a limit to the content that we wanted to watch.

Pay for that over multiple months, and you own nothing at the end.

Should have bought the discs instead. At least then I could continue to watch that content at leisure, without spending any more.

before people start turning to WINE and a saner Linux distro, just to run their Windows applications

I jumped to Linux when Windows 11 was announced. I tried it (W11) in a VM and it convinced me that things are only going to get worse.

Must say that I couldn't be happier for the move. I still get to run the vast majority of software via WINE (Affinity products need to up their game though) to boot. Games are much better supported nowadays as well, so it's all good, and no Windows 11.

Looks like Hacker News needs to block the bots...

Moving from 1Password to Bitwarden was the best thing I did.

Bitwarden enabled me to use it with Linux, Mac, Windows, Web, etc. _years_ before 1Password decided to join the party.

And there's no subscription to speak of - just a premium "extra features you may or may not want" yearly payment, which works out _much_ cheaper.

Finally - all my passwords belong to me. Self hosted server means that I keep control, not some random cloud.

My whole life I've been 'Off Narrative'. Don't see any reason to change that now. lol

I can already see how this plays out...

Police/Authority: You used the internet to access XXX site You: No, it was the other guy using the wireless...

Sadly not the same thing. This is using bandwidth from YOUR network.

And besides, you can disable the BT 'sharing' capability. May not be so easy with an Echo in the house...

So - Amazon want to use 1/40th of my internet bandwidth.

Along with that goes 1/40th of the electric that the router and broadband modem use.

Then there were the costs for me setting up my own infrastructure with my own money.

At this point, I would expect Amazon to PAY me to use my infrastructure - not get it for free. After all, they won't send parcels to me without me paying for them?

This is a bad BAD idea. It will not garner any access over my network(s).

I've had a similar experience to the OP - but in differing circumstances.

I had a subscription on my account I'd forgotten about. My CC had expired, and I didn't bother giving Apple the new one. The sub pulled, card wasn't charged - but the charge stayed on my account.

Apple then turned off all access (Apple ID, iTunes, Store etc) until the new CC was added to the account.

Once that was done, the account was available again. The sub was immediately removed, along with any others.

I have also supported Mac users with exactly the same issue, resolved in exactly the same way.

I look at this as blackmail. Apple hold an account which has fully paid up software and services to ransom until you cough up what they deem is unpaid.

That, IMHO, is monopolistic behaviour.

Maybe that's the difference. I was using vi, and not nano.

Have confirmed that using 'sudo nano /etc/pam.d/sudo' works fine.

No need for the verbosity when nano works I guess. :S

The article will not allow sudo changes on Big Sur - at least, not without changing permissions of the sudo file first:

  1. sudo -Si
  2. chmod 644 /etc/pam.d/sudo
  3. vi /etc/pam.d/sudo
  4. Add the 'Auth         sufficient        pam_tid.so' line
  5. chmod 444 /etc/pam.d/sudo
  6. ...
  7. Profit!
Very handy tip though, thanks!
