I started using Bitwarden like 7 years ago. I was very happy at first, but the fact that shit is still buggy when building software is cheap is mind blowing
august-··on Swiss e-voting pilot can't count 2,048 ballots after decryption failure
honest question - has any country actually deployed e-voting at scale without running into serious issues? it feels like every pilot i read about hits a wall at some point
august-··on How we hacked McKinsey's AI platform

OpenClaw indeed breaks with every update haha, nicely done

august-··on Dead man's switches: how they work and when to use one

august-··on Who Will Remember Us When the Servers Go Dark?
Is anyone actually working on practical long-term digital preservation outside of the Internet Archive? Feels like we talk about this problem a lot but the solutions are still incredibly fragile.
