Buses kill kids too. Trains too. Airplanes too. Let's get rid of transportation.

Or is it about the numbers all of the sudden?

You've got to be a special level of dumb to think that anything in life has zero risk. Even food kills kids under certain circumstances.

For the love of God stop giving bad advice. Anti virus software cannot protect you from all viruses. Viruses are trained against anti virus software nowadays so only behavioral detection may help.

Trusted community and uploaders is the only way this works.

Movies and audio are very rarely infected, almost never. That depends on bugged software, so that you can be relatively safe of.

Executables... well... no anti virus can protect you in reality from dumb double-clicks. This is because viruses are trained against anti virus software until they can't be recognized. There are mathematically an infinite number of patterns to run a program to trick all kinds of anti viruses. So in reality you can't be safe. Once that's done by an expert virus creator, the best you have to protect you is a behavioral detection of viruses, which may or may not work.

So, don't rely on anti viruses. They barely protect you from script kiddies and legacy viruses.

Calling Syncthing perfect is an understatement.

That's an overkill and doesn't give any extra security. Multiple accounts is more reasonable.

Here's a crazy idea...

Why not use another Vaultwarden account? :D

The Linux community doesn't understand what "just works" really means.

Whether windows or mac, I plug my machine to the docking station, and it just works.

With Linux, every day a different problem. Out of the blue, screens just stop working. Resolutions change. Every restart different behavior. Zero consistency.

I'm not 17 anymore... I don't have the time to keep tweaking. I need to be productive.

So what do I do? I SSH to a Linux machine whose desktop environment I don't wanna see, and code remotely. Most productive setting.

You asked. Here's the answer.
