I was in a long distance relationship that didn’t work out… this is going back about 9 years so I have a long perspective of it now.

Long story short I was in a short but emotionally intense fling with a girl who lived across the country. We had originally met in real life on a friends trip together (as we had mutual friends) and did a couple trips back and forth to see each other in person, spending every other night apart on the phone / video chat. She broke up with me after becoming interested in a guy back home, from what I heard from mutual friends.

It really hurt, I was crushed and didn’t know what to do with my time anymore. We had developed this routine that was now torn away from me and I just wanted to drown my sorrows. I ended up just going out to bars and clubs most nights to keep myself entertained. About a month later I joined the online dating pool and went on a few dozen dates trying to recapture the connection.

I found something far better though, with someone I learned I related too far more personally and hobby wise, she became my wife and we have a beautiful toddler at home i’m struggling to get to take naps by himself.

Everything about the other girl is a distant memory, I forget her names most times it pops into my head - and that’s going back years now. I still remember some lessons I learned from that relationship though.

That’s all to say, life moves on and that’s not just a sappy saying. You honestly will recover and be a better person for it.

I think you’re mistaken.

A LW user does NOT see new beehaw content. If I visit [email protected] on my LW account and sort by new… the newest post is 2d old from an infosec.pub user and the next newest is 4d from a LW user. However, if I visit [email protected] from my beehaw account there’s at least a dozen+ NEW posts from the last 24 hours, mostly from beehaw users.

But that kind of shows my point, it’s confusing. I think the simplest way to think of it (again, very layman understanding that could be wrong). LW users on [email protected] can only see posts and comments from non-beehaw users but the vast majority of the users/posts on that channel are from beehaw.

This is honestly very confusing.

When I originally decided to join a lemmy community I signed up with beehaw.org and was accepted. During the reddit apocalypse I also registered for lemmy.world

From my understanding, and someone please treat me like I’m a 5 year old, when I view [email protected] via my lemmy.world account I only see old beehaw user posts (from before de-federation) and every lemmy.world user post but only lemmy.world users can see my posts? However, if I view from my beehaw account I can see all posts from lemmy.world and beehaw users but only beehaw users can see my posts?

Does this extend to comments? If I comment on a lemmy.world user’s post through my beehaw account… that OP just won’t ever see it?

I used to use BitWarden but switched to 1Password about a year ago once I decided to buy a business account for my department at work (which gives every user a free family account)

1Password is fantastic. It stores more than passwords, it’s fine tuned to do that, but really can be used to store anything securely. The dev team uses it to share secure .env variables and API keys for example.

One of the best features though is the ability to share secured links to VIEW passwords outside of your network. When a coworker asks me to share an account password I don’t just copy and paste the username and password over email. I click share in 1Password and shoot them a link that only they can view (using email 2fa). I can also make more open links to shared credentials that expire (or until I expire those links myself).

The phone app works great and once you get it set up on one device it’s easy to configure it on others.
