Reposting the link from another comment on here, there is a PR to build the flatpak from source https://github.com/flathub/com.bitwarden.desktop/pull/222

And hitting high memory pressure is really not fun on Linux (on Fedora at least), it simply locks up and slows down to a crawl and does nothing for minutes until the oom killer finally kills the bad program. I’ve kind of solvd this by installing a better oom killer on my laptop, but my desktop was easy: buy 32GB of additional ram for like 90$: problem solved

Meanwhile the electron app you’re trying to run

XMPP Works fine when it’s setup or when you don’t manage the hosting, but God is it painful to self host an xmpp server. Then you have the clients that are all basically 10 years old at this point, except maybe Dino for linux. It even needs a special setup to work on restricted networks via port 80/443 because it wants port 5222 and 5223, and let me tell you, I’ve spent over a week trying to setup that reverse proxy, it was hell. I’ve never Hosted matrix so maybe it’s worse, but this isn’t the end of my gripes with xmpp. Most basic communication features in 2024 such as replies reactions quoting threads etc.etc. are unsupported ootb, and you need both a client that supports the extensions (often very slow to adapt “new” standards AND a server that has enabled the plugin for that feature.

Xmpp is plain old, and like many like to think, no xmpp was not “triple-E’d”, people simply stopped using it because it’s really inconvenient and the UX is horrible.

You should probably check their Reddit, I’ve seen many people complaining about the shipping, longevity and customer support. I don’t know how much of it is substantiated but still, some research can’t hurt

Does anyone know if the suspend fixes are also valid for 1000 series GPUs? Ive had trouble putting my computer to sleep for the past few months and it’s been really annoying. Also if someone know if this fixes Firefox stuttering like crazy since the 555 driver, and it’s worse when playing videos on YouTube. I’m on Wayland gnome

Yes but when you are logged in, you can add the passkey that belongs to the new device to your account

For 2 reasons:

• I want to sync my credentials that cannot be made unique and revocable (ie passwords). I can have a single passkey per device, I cannot have a password per device for a same account. I also have to memorize a password, and I have hundreds that I may need to access while I am away and only have my phone.
• I use one because currently I have not found a convenient way to save local passkeys on Android and my Linux PC.

There are already systems in place that allow temporary passkey sharing, for example with a QR code (CaBLE) https://www.corbado.com/blog/webauthn-passkey-qr-code

I agree and I still store my passkeys in proton pass, but that’s more because there’s no real option for storing them locally only. I really like passkeys and they make me optimistic about the future, it’s just that I think the way they should work is that each device should have a passkey registered to an account, so that the access can then be revoked if the device was compromised. And it’s even convenient in this way with the QR codes that you can use to temporarily share a passkey to then be able to add the new device.

I read the post more closely and saw that this isn’t about syncing the keys across password managers, it’s about transfering them to a different password manager/device. In that case I’m okay with the initiative. This is to prevent lock-in and I’m all for it.

I have one, but I use it as a second factor because it does not have a way of identifying me

I don’t like that passkeys are portable, this kind of defeats the entire purpose. The way they were sold to me is the following: it’s 2 factors in one. The first is the actual device where the key lives, and the second, the user verification, like a pin, face scan, fingerprint etc. If it’s synced across the cloud, there’s no longer the first factor being the unique key on the unique device.

Granted, passkeys even without the first factor are still magnitudes better in terms of convenience and security compared to passwords, but it just disappoints me a little that there are no good options to save passkeys on my local device only, with no cloud sync.

If anyone knows of a local-only passkey manager app for android, as well as the same as a firefox extension, I’d love to know about it!

This could be useful, but the thing is, your IP address is rarely what is used to identify you on the internet, even in private browsing mode. Your particular combination of hardware and your behavior (how you interact with it) speak much more than an IP that can be used by more than 1 person.

It’s a really nice message that gpt wrote there

This could actually make Samsung dex/desktop mode actually useful

The last time I used arch it worked fine for 6 months then it needed to be scrapped because the network fully stopped working after an update. I’ve been on fedora ever since without a single issue. Arch is fine for personal devices where you can afford to spend half a day on troubleshooting a package that is too recent and straight up doesn’t work because there’s no real testing being done. I wouldn’t put it on a work device simply because it’s not a just works distro

No, but some are better suited for programming, because each distro has different packages in their repositories. I find Fedora to be very good when it comes to having basically every dev tool available in their repos. Arch is good too but too unstable for actual work. But keep in mind in most distros you can add separate repositories that contains the software you want. You can also use Homebrew that contains lots of dev tools as well

This is dependent on matrix-rust-sdk, when (if) it ends up supporting it, all apps using the SDK will be able to add support for spaces

It’s a shame that snaps are forced to use Canonicals closed source backend because they are really good, and a fully snap system is a very compelling idea for immutable systems
