“I’m knittin’ like a fuckin electric nan”
It doesn’t “involve the country known as China”. The country has nothing to do with it, which is why it stood out to me for someone to be fearmongering about China. If it was an American or Australian dev, I doubt very much that concerns would have centered around their nationality.
Chinese blobs are no more or less trustworthy than any other blobs. The Chinese government is not more or less willing or capable to force a Dev to do the bad thing.
The user above was essentially saying “never trust a Chinese developer”. That is irrational and hysterical. I would say the exact same thing if I heard someone saying “never trust a Russian/American/Indian/English/etc developer”.
You’re quite the outlier, so congrats on that. I’m pretty privacy conscious myself, so I understand that part of the attitude. What drives me crazy is the irrationality of people making hysterical claims about China that at least as accurately describe their own country.
Your phone, computer, TV, and various other electronics in your house were not made in China? You believe that your own country or mine cannot secretly compel backdoors?
Down voting for 2 reasons:
This is ridiculous. You don’t trust “Chinese maintainers” (“even if legit” lol), because the “CCP” might threaten “their family to get a backdoor inserted”.
Absolutely unhinged level of fantasy in the context of this project. A nation of 1.4 billion people and you don’t trust anyone there to write software? You know they made your phone and pretty much everything else right? Also, the idea that “the CCP” is somehow uniquely (among governments) willing and able to coerce or commission backdoors in software is a feverishly deluded attitude.
Propaganda has put a backdoor in your brain.
Fucking pathetic.
They only got salted hashes AFAIK. Still it is absolutely good advice to use a password manager.
Maybe, if you’re good and vote for genocide now, we’ll consider not having genocide later (not really).
Look, do you want a genocide or not? It’s gonna cost some money.
They just copy whatever the republicans were doing like 10 years ago.
Irredeemably evil people.
Keepass hosted on my Nextcloud server. You can have the database synced to however many devices you want, and each one will always have a local copy of the latest version. You can use whatever sync solution you want though: syncthing, Dropbox, google drive etc. I suggest using diceware to generate a strong master passphrase for the database :)
I’ve done a little bit of cave diving. There are caves I would dive again, and some I absolutely would not. These experiences rank very highly among the coolest of my life. There’s things to see down there you can’t experience any other way. But yes, it is relatively dangerous and I spent a lot of time down there not thinking about how far away I was from the surface.

Nice to see redemption arc :)
Chinese guy goes to China and doesn’t push any commits for awhile. Simplest explanation is that “the CCP” has abducted him.
