1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

"popular distribution"? Omarchy is neither of those two words, is it?

Whatever it is, it's a stupid name, it sounds kinda like an STD.

I vaguely remember hearing about that, but when I searched the community to see what other people use the first link I found was archive.is. Replacing that archive doesn't really seem to have taken off.

I'll just copy-paste the first paragraph in case you or anyone else can't open it:

The English Wikipedia has decided to stop using archive.today and its related websites. This decision was agreed on after a request for comment with more than 200 participants concluded in February 2026, and is due to multiple concerns, including the site using editors' and readers' computers to run a denial-of-service attack and evidence that the website has tampered with some archived pages.

And the story on the DoS script itself:

For some reason it's including the period at the end as part of the link, which breaks it.

I literally didn't know this, but I've switched from 1Password to KeePassXC few days ago because its Android client stopped working. Wth?

[-] KullumDaue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

shouldn't you have switched to Bitwarden?

i am on bitwarden, and i want to switch to keepass, but i am dreading syncing the database between my phone and my PC.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 3 minutes ago* (last edited 3 minutes ago)

No, he shouldn't have switched to Bitwarden. Why the fuck do people keep recommending cloud shit instead of Keepass?

I don't know where this weird trope of thinking Keepass is somehow obsolete or inferior came from, because it isn't.

[-] Killercat103@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 hour ago

You can use Syncthing to synchronize the database file between your devices. It's kinda neat tbh.

[-] KullumDaue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

i never heard about it. but i will definitely look into it, thanks ❤️

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

Don't fear it. Syncing is easy. Keepass, in its various forms, has great merging support.

[-] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Can't you just do an export from BitWarden and import into KeePass?

[-] KullumDaue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

what i meant was syncing my phone and my pcs keepass databases.

i used to use google drive for that (storing the database on the drive), but i didn't like it.

[-] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I've had success on android with Syncthing. I had it installed on every device I needed the DB on and then a server that was always online to make sure each device had the latest version.

I have an iPhone now and Möbius Sync does not work as well (I think iOS limits background activity). My solution was to access access my DB via ssh (Strongbox has an option for this, Strongbox is KeepassXC but for Apple).

I already wasn't gonna use either, but now I'm not gonna use either even harder.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 12 points 6 hours ago

Aw man, I use them because they're Canadian but fuck them, I guess. I wonder how hard it is to switch to another password manager. I'm especially concerned with how passkeys work.

[-] db_null@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 6 hours ago

Very easy. You should be able to export your passwords as .csv and import it into a new manager.

This should help: https://di.day/en/digital-switch-recipes/passwords

Yay, thanks!
