KDB-X: KX releases FREE Commercial KDB licence
#HackerNews #KDBX #KX #Free #License #DataAnalytics #CommunityEdition
This is it ladies and gentleman! The moment we’ve all been waiting for! KX just dropped the long-promised Community Edition, and IT'S FREE. Yes!!, you read that right: it's free. Not for a week. Not for personal use only. Free to use, even commercially. Holy cow, this honestly feels like Christmas came early this year. If you're wondering what all the hype is about and why I'm so excited about this breaking news, keep reading, you don't want to miss this.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I only know of two customers of mine that were stupid enough not to abandon #LastPass after the last debacle. And then to add insult to injury they made everyone with multiple devices "upgrade" to their non-free tier.
What's the point (there isn't one) of having a cloud based vault if it doesn't sync between your devices? You can just back up your vault onto a 5¼" floppy and store it in a drawer or safe deposit box, right?
Well, I told everyone to switch to #kdbx or #VaultWarden a very long time ago.
But what's wrong with BitWarden?
I personally sync using my own private cloud resources and a couole of other options as well. I use kdbx - in particular, that means #KeePassXC and #KeePassDX. Only I know where those so-called "vaults" are. Even though a kdbx file is relatively secure, this keeps the attack surface as small as possible.
And that's what's wrong with #BitWarden, and a big reason why LastPass got #whacked - because the bad people already know where everyone's most sensitive shit is kept.
With VaultWarden, which is what I recommend for most folks, only you know where you keep your password stores. Even with a public provider of VaultWarden there's a bunch of them, ask over the place; so the evil-doers, even if successful, will have a much harder time for less of a reward - they gained access to EVERYONE'S LastPass #vaults!
Because they're all kept in one, single, well known place.
As Colonel Walter Kutz lay dying in the mud, his only utterance was, "Oh, the horror!"
The best part about a #KeePass (kdbx) or VaultWarden solution? They're 100% #FOSS!

Let me take s moment to ask you...
I use .kdbx too - #KeepassDX and #KeepassXC to sync between #Android, desktop, with cloud, using #Syncthing.
How do you find compatibility between #VaultWarden and #kdbx in regards to the "notes" section in those #Keepass clients?
I thought about doing a migraine, or at least a parallel management of them, but I rely heavily on my "notes" section for many particulars and reminders for my various accounts.
Thanks!

Hallo @wolf,
Ich hab' dazu mal 'ne Frage: Die #Nextcloud-App unter Android sync't bei mir das Verzeichnisse erst, wenn ich es in der App öffne. Erst danach steht die aktuelle Version der #KDBX-Datei zur Verfügung.
Daher frage ich mich, wie Du es schaffst, mit #KeePassDX auch auf Android-Geräten immer auf die aktuelle Version zuzugreifen, wenn Du abwechselnd an verschiedenen Geräten arbeitest? Eiserne #Disziplin? Oder gibt es da einen Trick?
#keepassdiff is #diff for #KDBX files.
#keepass-diff finds the differences between two Keepass files, like changed passwords and new or deleted groups. keepass-diff provides two ways of providing passwords, either directly via the command line, or by interactively requesting them. keepass-diff supports keyfiles.

A CLI-tool to diff Keepass (.kdbx) files. Useful, if syncing with Dropbox or NextCloud and getting multiple files due to conflicts. - Narigo/keepass-diff
