@andrewnez andrew your blogging game this year is on point!

Just cancelled my @1password subscription after 7 years because while they’re free to fund someone who wants to ethnically cleanse Europe (David Heinemeier Hansson aka DHH; https://www.alilleybrinker.com/blog/1password-funds-ethnic-cleansing/), I’m also free to not have my money be used for that.

If you’re on macOS/iOS, here’s how I migrated without losing any data and without any noticeable degradation in my experience¹.

> TL;DR: To migrate from 1Password, I used StrongBox to create my KeePass Database file without losing any of my data and I’m going to be using KeePassium to manage it and, separately, heylogin for authenticating with web sites in the browser.

Read on for detailed instructions:

1. Export your data from 1Password8 in 1Password Unencrypted Export (.1pux) format: https://support.1password.com/export/?mac

**Note that this is unencrypted.** DO NOT store this file in your iCloud Drive, Dropbox, etc., and remember to delete it when you’re done with the import.²

(I put it in my home folder.)

2. Download StrongBox, a native macOS client for KeePass Database files: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/strongbox-password-manager/id897283731

3. Launch StrongBox and select File → Import → 1Password → Import 1Pux and select the file you exported from 1Password.

4. Choose a strong password for your database and save the file. This is where you can save it to iCloud Drive to have your encrypted database synced between your Mac, iPhone, etc.

You could leave it there and use StrongBox but I wouldn’t recommend it. It has the best importer so that’s why I used it but the app is owned by Applause Group, which is VC-funded so it will enshittify.

The good news is that once you’ve exported your data from 1password and have your KeePass Database, it’s yours. You can use different apps to edit it, provide autofill, etc.

One of those apps is KeePassium (https://keepassium.com/) by an independent developer (Dr. Andrei Popleteev). So, to continue our guide:

5. Download KeePassium (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keepassium-keepass-passwords/id1435127111) and open your database using that client and uninstall the VC-funded StrongBox once you’re done with the initial import.

Again, you can stop here.

But, since I had the export, I thought I’d also try heylogin – a zero-password password manager only for logins that’s based in the EU: https://heylogin.app/

They have a novel solution that integrates really well with browsers and has been working great for me so far (in the past hour) :)

So, there you have it: I had seven years of data in 1Password (actually, likely far more as I was using it before it was a subscription) and I was able to migrate away in about ten minutes. (It’s taken me longer to write this.) You don’t have to stay locked in if you don’t agree with their ethics.

Good luck! :)

(Remember to write a note and tell them why you’re cancelling and to share your own experiences in this thread.)

¹ After you import your data, go through it and check that you have everything.

² Actually delete it. Command+Backspace then right-click the Trash and Empty Bin.

@pikarl Please, do it! 7€ hatte ich zwar noch nicht, aber ich finde es auch so eine Frechheit, dass sie einen zum Wasser kaufen zwingen und das dann bei der Preisgestaltung ausnutzen. Ich will einfach nur irgendwo am Bahnhof meine Trinkflasche mit Leitungswasser auffüllen können.

What happens if a model is repeatedly asked to make a small, localized tweak to an image. In case you were wondering. You can thank me later.

@Yaku non voglio neance prendere in considerazione questa eventualità ☠️ @Elikorokoros @GustavinoBevilacqua

@romanidemata a casa igual i pel mateix motiu.

@sebsauvage j'ai le 3 qui est assez simple et sympa (et tout petit !)
Mais je n'ai pas encore passé le pas de lui installer autre chose.
Ce serait sûrement bénéfique parce qu'en l'état, ça ne prend pas en compte les accents, c'est relou pour lire en français...

@regehr Next time, see if you can find a sweet shop that sells them from a massive jar behind the counter in little paper bags. Those are the best.

What's my position on copyright?

I say that if its to be enforced, it should be enforced fairly! Unfortunately any enforcement, or lack thereof, tends to align with the interests of capital.

There's plenty of techies who are automatically against any enforcement, but I ask "who's interests are being served".

That said I want to see DRM done away with, it directly hinders our right to use our computers as we wish!

okay I have successfully avoided responding to any of these directly but after having seen like the TENTH post today saying something like "we don't need to convince you to like AI, the revolution is coming whether you like it or not" I just have to reply, generally, to this whole sentiment: OKAY THEN. IF WE ARE GETTING LEFT BEHIND THEN LEAVE US BEHIND, ALREADY

@davidgerard Been reading The Nerd Reich and am really struck by how many of these titans of industry appear to be just plain dumb. Charitably I guess I’d say they’re not smart enough to see that they’re not that smart.

Goose was valued

I'm being rules-lawyered by a flippin GenAI agent that tried to create an account. It appealed a suspension...

"I believe I was compliant with your policies. The activities that policy prohibits (mirroring content, automated hashtag posting, cross-posting non-original content, unmonitored cross-posting) are none of them things I did."

It also emailed our help line.

What a stupid world we have built for ourselves.

@cstross @freddy @timbray this is true, but at the same time, I don’t think the AfD is advocating for a strong social safety net, but rather the same old appeal to former national greatness and blaming the decadent soft liberal west for queers and foreigners, with other conservative policies. (Correct me if I’m wrong Germans.)

It’s too much for a single post, but post-CW economics, oligarchs wanting to oligarch, and national resentment. That’s the Russian story, but similar feelings exist many places. That explains antiWest, but not proRussia.

The proRussia I think is just a combo of leaders being paid by Russia, and dopes believing Russia has “traditional values” and enemy of my enemy (eg tankie thought).

@david_chisnall well I also brought home a packet from Sainsbury’s, we’ll see how those are. the pictured ones have the black currant flavor which I like!

credential stuffing implies the existence of credential cranberry sauce 🦃

@mrtnsnp lol. No.

Relaxing time by the window, reading with your best friend on your lap. That's heaven, right there!
