Otherwise they will go away and we will be left with big tech products only. Because I don't think people like to make excellent products and still don't see a dime in their pocket. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hexarei@programming.dev 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) I like to support devs, too - But I don't like being forced into paying for access to features already present in software that is running on my own hardware. The code is already on my machine, I should be able to run it. That's my biggest complaint about Bitwarden - I want to share passwords with my wife, and they want to charge me money for that even when I host it myself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] gloriousspearfish@feddit.dk 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) Is that really how it works? I thought it was all open source software? If it is I don't see how you can be required to pay if you host it yourself? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hexarei@programming.dev 1 point 3 years ago* It is open source - but the server essentially locks you out of various functionality unless you create an account with Bitwarden and provide a valid subscription token. Sure, you can fork it and excise that code from it... but that's too laborious and potentially error-prone, imho. If I were to selfhost bitwarden again, I'd go with Vaultwarden, which claims to be fully compatible and has no such requirements. permalink fedilink source parent
