  • An online database is still a file ultimately. A SQL or other DB file stored in a webserver, accessed through a web interface.

    Vaultwarden, etc, are the same, only the database file is less directly visible IMO. Keepass IMO is simple. The DB in a bespoke format, stored outside the application.

    You could put the vault in system32 and name it “trustedinstaller.log”, and if someone saw you had keepass they wouldn’t even know where your vault is.

    Given the number of well documented breaches of online password vaults, I would much rather do a private device to device sync via syncthing and keep it out of webservers.












  • Revisiting this many weeks later: what do you think of the idea of super users who can be delegated an ability to silence/quarantine other posters?

    Admin

    Moderators

    Superuser

    User

    Maybe if they only had the ability to flag a user and put them in "time out, and it couldn’t stack or be consecutive from one superuser, etc?

    I dunno. It might be a good way to help police the content without making people volunteer to be full on mods. And it can be treated as a semi privileged role, that expires are X months and only X number ofnactive users in good standing can have at once?

    A little complex to implement, but it might at least let mods crowdsource the task of stemming the worst of things.
