  • There’s a website that an apartment I stayed at used for registering vehicle license plates. They have a towing company come around at night and tow anyone not registered on the website. The website emails me my password in plaintext when I go to reset it. I’ve complained to the apartment manager and the website’s contact points, but gotten nowhere, they still have this behavior today. It’s ridiculously stupid and ignorant.






  • I don’t have a TikTok account nor do I have the app installed on any device.

    Funnily enough actually, when I went to register early on a few years back, my email had already been registered by some bot and TikTok had banned my email, their tech support has never replied to anything I’ve asked them regarding it and I never had any correspondence about it in my email messages prior. So, I never opened an account. Sure, I could have used another email or given it a throwaway, but by that time I was already aware of the invasive nature of TikTok and I just didn’t care for it after that. I only wanted to register my account to stake my presence there before others with my name, and I didn’t succeed, so I gave up pretty quickly. It’s a dead site to me. I’m also not a fan of all of the cheap imitations like YouTube Shorts, or the re-posts that happened(still happen?) on Reddit.

    KeeWeb. Compatible with anything that uses KeePass files.

    It checks more than half or even all of your boxes.

    • Free and Open Source, on GitHub.
    • Can be self hosted. Or go to app.keeweb.info.
    • Can be synced to the cloud of your choice. Even supports WebDAV, which is very lightweight.
    • Encrypted at rest and end-to-end. Those clouds don’t have your decryption key. Decryption happens in your browser client-side.
    • Cross platform. Anything that can load a webpage or is compatible with KeePass can use it. It can be bookmarked to the home screen on mobile and it becomes its own app.
    • Auto fill via hotkey on PC.
    • Supports PINs/Multi-Factor Authentication codes.
    • Can attach secret files like backup codes or SSH keys.
    • Can configure how strong the encryption is on the KeePass file.
    • Theme support.
    • Secrets can be exported.

    Edit: in another comment someone mentioned the KeeWeb developer is looking for another maintainer due to their own personal health issues. It’s been stale since mid-2022, while the core is considered still secure there is concern for its dependencies. It can be compiled at home with updated dependencies if that concerns you.
