... Adding a step in CICD that catches this is extremely trivial though.


Which tools would you recommend for that?


Flagged.... What a surprise


There is an http API and it can eat json and csv too (as well as tons of others)


According to the readme this is an intentional demo account.


Yes, if not put it there. Everyone want to have a try need to register a Google Clould account


Going proprietary is one thing, but doing it in several steps in different repos and saying nothing about it I really don't like...

What are open alternatives at this point?


Buttercup[0] looks promising.

Truely does, yeah - just in case you were wondering like me: it syncs to file, which are supposed to be shared via some cloud sync mechanism you provide.


The KeePass ecosystem has gotten a little bit better. It's still not exactly seamless. File sync across all of Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android seems to involve either proprietary user-hostile sync tools or dealing with lots of jank.

As far as I can tell, the only competitor with a similar feature set that even claims to be open-source is Proton Pass. But I can't find any information on whether the server side can be self-hosted.


KeePass as an ecosystem (and possibly other file-based ecosystems) is something I’ve used for around a decade, and while it’s not perfect, I am 100% sure it will be there for me in another decade. I want to own my passwords, and KeePass feels like a safe pair of hands that won’t turn hostile when I’m not looking.

IMO, the secret to keeping the passwords synced with KeePass, is to make sure your client has a direct feature to sync the passwords database to a remote server - SFTP, DAV, SMB, etc. Then all you need to do is to set up a single remote file share to serve that file. Or sync manually, assuming your passwords change slowly - KeePass 2 can sync changes automatically between KDBX files.


Windows, Linux, Android are pretty easily + reliably covered by SyncThing.

What's the best story for iOS or MacOS?



Strongbox - I’ve been using it for the past two years. It’s been rock solid and has gotten a few useful updates in that time.

here’s an older of comment of mine for more details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36022210

While there seems to be an alternative, the root cause of Google's hostility to foss apps does not make me optimistic about this being a stable solution in the long run :(


He... Did not say that. He said they are targeting civilians, and basic math on casualty numbers ("hamas" numbers being the same as in use by both US and IDF military intelligence) can at least tell you they're doing very little to avoid it.


You might want to check the combatant to civilian casualties ratio for other conflicts including western led post WW2 ones.

Iraq and Afghanistan had worse figures, by many reports even the drone part of GWOT was worse.

And those were generally fought in more permissive environments.

For the most part the single largest casualty cohort in any conflict are civilians achieving a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio depending on which figures you go by while tragic is actually quite impressive for a lack of a better word.


Doing little to avoid something isnt the same as doing it on purpose.


When we design data structures do we not say that the sum of all things are intended tradeoffs? It doesn’t make sense to say that you intended to buy milk but you didn’t intend to spend money. Nothing in life works like that.


You guys are talking past each other. "intend" in this context is means two things:

1. a goal in and of itself (ie. they want civilians dead)

2. being aware of the costs (ie. they only want hamas dead, but don't mind if some civilians are killed)

tuyguntn was strongly implying that it's #1, whereas HDThoreaun claims it's only #2.


> tuyguntn was strongly implying that it's #1

No, I didn't, I only asked a question by replacing words Hezbollah with IDF, pager with building. When pagers got blown up, there were civilians near by


buying bombs to kill civilians is not the same as buying bombs and accidentally killing civilians.


One must embrace the sum of the decision. You don't choose to drive your car without expending energy. You choose both. You don't blow up thousands of bombs in streets and marketplaces and only choose to kill the people you want — you choose it all.

Recently we had what may have been a targeted hit in crowded public space in Alabama. When those individuals are caught, I hope it is understood that you don't choose to open fire in a crowd and only choose to shoot one person. You choose it all.

In such a world how do we make a decision? By judging that the price is right. Why did innocent people die when thousands of bombs blew up in public spaces? Because the price was right. That should be the center of discussion, not whether we'd like to blow up thousands of bombs in public places without paying the price.


Or use clickhouse-local/chdb and get something even faster that you can also scale if you need a server later.


Did clickhouse-local reduce its install size? I vaguely remember that it always included all symbols and other stuff and was over 500MB and not trivial to install. Definitely a hurdle for some people. Iirc they were working on addressing this las time I checked


It's a 497 MB file that compresses down to 83 MB with zstd. Is 83 MB so huge to transfer?

> not trivial to install

It's a single binary, there is nothing to install. If this isn't trivial to install I can't imagine installing anything else.


Single binray is great! Maybe I misremember, or maybe it was different when I checked last time (or I checked compiling yourself?).

497MB is big, though, and 100 MB is as well, but I agree for desktop use in research it is more than OK.


I want the vendor that can take care of this for us, but that can guarantee a private egress range, or can run things within our VPC.

Several builds connect to internal resources, so running them on external nodes suboptimal and expensive when it comes to network egress.


Not a vendor but I am heading in that direction. Drop me a line and I can help with that. My contact info is in my profile.


Direnv in itself is a quality of life improvement, whether you use nix behind it is optional
