In that scenario though, I'd also be out of my digital life even if I had access to 1password.
I don't think SecretSharingDotNet has had any audits, and I'm pretty sure i hasn't been checked for side-channel attacks. I couldn't find anything in GitHub [1] saying it's no longer maintained though.
I'm pretty sure a well founded attacker would be able to hack me, but I think it's orders of magnitude more likely that I'll forget my master password, I'll get stolen, my apartment will catch on fire or I'll just die. Those are the scenarios I'm preparing for.
based on their dynamics, I'm feeling pretty good. I know I have some people there that are tech savvy + some that will take good care of their shares and when they should send those to whom.
Implementation is trivial (especially if you find a library) but maybe you can be inspired by my plan https://g3rv4.com/2022/04/a-plan-for-my-secrets
here's a quick blog post I wrote with my plan. The app is trivial to write if you find a library for your preferred language
I even wrote a trivial console app to let my wife restore my secrets if I were to drop dead tonight.
In order to inject my code before theirs, I had to come up with different approaches on FF and Chrome... and since it was starting to become a cat and mouse game, I just took the extension private.
After that, they didn't escalate their game. I'm thankful for that, so that I can keep enjoying it without spending lots of time figuring out how to mess with it.
The only thing they're doing is missing on some talent, but that could be ok for them.
There were two times where I more than doubled my pay. At one point I was 1 month into a contract and I got an offer from a previous client doubling what I was getting. I used that to make my case and we figured a schedule for me to make 2x my rate.
Then, I was bored and started playing with Asterisk and Twilio. I built an integration before there were docs on how to do it, I blogged about it and people started contacting me offering me to do it for them.
For each client I asked for more money. I started at 35/h and doubled it every time somebody contacted me.
One of those clients offered me a 40 hours/week contract. They got acquired and I was a key member working 60+ hours per week.
The new company wanted me to sign a long term contract and... to sign it I asked for even more money! since I’d be giving up opportunities to work with other clients.
Once you start making more money it’s easier to get the job because... you’re already being paid that. Obviously, you need to deliver according to the expectations, but luckily that wasn’t an issue for me.
If I provide the same value as US engineers, why should I make less than US engineers?
Fortunately, I’ve been able to make my case. I hope these Indian engineers realize they’re making 1/15th what they should.
I really liked how you avoided doing any JS at all :)
One thing I'd like to propose is making it wider.
A thousand times this. Thanks <3
that’s a dream come true!!! I’ll def check it out
you certainly have stronger feelings about it than I do :)
