Hahah okay man. Have a good one

I kinda get what you’re saying, but it’s not like I’m writing the password manager myself. The updates are automatic, and when it’s not updating the VM it’s hosted on has network restricted to everything but wireguard and for the bitwarden service. For me to get hacked, there would have to be a zero day exploits for my hypervisor, wireguard, and bitwarden all on the same day.

I understand what you’re getting at, but it’s not a publicly hosted service. It’s literally just for myself.

Alright, I’ll entertain this a little. Besides the one issue that I just brought up, there are no other issues. I host a dozen other things, and the VM I have it on is sandboxed besides the wireguard tunnel, so security isn’t a problem.

The better question, is why not self host?

Check out RethinkDNS. It lets you setup multiple wireguard tunnels, and assign what apps are affected by what tunnel

Uh. You know you’re responding in a self hosting community right? Should I explain why we’re all here?

This is so close to what I need. Unfortunately I have a self hosted bitwarden, and when the app is installed it doesn’t auto fill passwords in apps to the other account

Based on what you’re dealing with, yeah probably. Technically it would also shut off right away if the OS wasn’t loading and you were just in BIOS, but with the no display at all issue, it’s almost certainly bad mobo or corrupt BIOS

Another thing you can do, is first turn it “on” (the power LED should be on and fans spinning). Then press and hold the power button.

If it turns off immediately, you have not POSTed and it’s probably a board/BIOS issue. If it takes a couple seconds to turn off, then you’re probably in Windows and it’s more likely a screen problem

Another screen check, did you try shining a very bright light on the screen? If you shine a flashlight on it and can see stuff, it might be the backlight

My dummy is three-ish. There is no randomly chewed plastic, but if I’m sitting at my desk and not giving him my full attention, he’s chewing on everything

So if the device is functional you can use the manage-bde command in command prompt to disable. But that’s only if the original motherboard is functional, because the key is stored in the TPM chip on the board.

That’s the problem I personally deal with, someone spills soda on their laptop or something, usually that sucks but I can get the data. With bitlocker and no account? Data is gone gone

I get it, but as someone who has had to tell little old ladies their data is fucked, I am beyond pissed at Microsoft’s implementation. They should not be encrypting data without forcing lay people to have backup codes printed or on a flash drive or something.

They’re doing this because they want to force people to her Microsoft accounts, probably just to collect more data.

And for the record, I am very pro encryption The half assed way of encrypting even if there isn’t a Microsoft account connected and therefore no way to save keys somewhere is completely unacceptable

Hah is there a rash of nursing home break ins that I’m unaware of? I’m in the field, the way that is happening is phishing with fake ads and emails

Very few people are breaking into a laptop for cookies, it’s tremendous amounts of work, and is usually targeted. Motherboards die all the time, and take the TPM with them

Not nearly as much. If someone breaks their motherboard in half but the hard drive is okay, I can get their data unless they have bitlocker. Microsoft is encrypting drives and storing the keys in the TPM only, and it is insane. My grandma doesn’t have state secrets on her laptop, she doesn’t need encryption.

Respectfully, hard disagree and terrible take. I work in IT, and your stance only makes sense if people have some tech knowledge. Which is never going to happen for the average person.

I can’t tell you how many older people I’ve had to tell that I can’t save their grandkids first pics because of bitlocker

Yo same. Originally got pfizer, the place I went to this year was out though, had to get moderna. I was all achy the next day and just slept through it

I got a Noctua D12 cooler for my first computer eight years ago. I did a complete upgrade this year, including switching from Intel to AMD. I sent Noctua my receipt for the motherboard and the cooler itself, and the shipped me a brand new bracket for the cooler for free.

I built my own watch from parts I got online!

Yeah I only took the first bit of bait. Good to know the dude is a bad faith asshat

You’re a fucking dumbass who is confusing dumb ass libertarians with actual anarchists.
