I see that it's possible to self-host #Bitwarden, but I suppose it's not your typical #FOSS, self-hosted service since some things, incl. their paid features, will still be locked behind a pay wall or authentication with their server?

That kinda defeats the purpose of self-hosting it, somewhat, no? As it is, does that mean that the only/main draw or benefit of self-hosting it is keeping your passwords away from their servers?

Edit: Just discovered that there's a fork of Bitwarden called
#Vaultwarden - from my reading, it's a "fork" but more so a complete reimplementation (in #Rust) that perhaps strives to be compatible with Bitwarden.

Haven't looked into it much at all, but maybe that's a better alternative when it comes to self-hosting?

Realizing I (a #Python lover) should probably give #Golang another stab sometime after bouncing off it last decade (bitprophet.org/blog/2016/04/18) 🤔

I don't especially /want/ to – I’ve enjoyed #Rust tinkering /much/ more, recently – but Go’s still so highly represented in the ops space 😐

Via osmosis I gather its packaging situation improved somewhat, but if-err-not-equal-nil is still rampant?

Also all of this stuff: fasterthanli.me/articles/lies- 😬

「 The Rust Vision Survey announced today has goals of working to understand where Rust is at today and to identify high-level areas where the project should be going as they move forward. It's a non-goal to figure out specific designs or feature recommendations but they are looking at higher-level aspects as they look at Rust moving into the future 」

I think that phantom lifetimes are my favourite pattern in #rustlang.

It’s amazing how you can just have the borrow checker ensure any arbitrary precedence of destruction that you want!

Especially when doing FFI shenanigans to some language with more “lenient” memory models.
