the downfall has begun ! enshittification at its finest !

Enshittification is about company-user relationship. Not company - employee.

Return to office is just punishment for employees getting ideas above their station during the covid years.

Also quiet layoff by encouraging workers to leave.

RTO is what you do when you want to make people quit.

cost of doing business

Easily? Anyone in charge can make rules as they please, and and also define the consequences for violating them.

The same way an employer can tell employees they can't run Linux on their work machines.

Open weight.

brick by brick !! this is how we go back !!

the founder is !

By that definition Tesla is a South African company.

is there a selfhosted alternative ?

hmm what is a good alternative to this ?

I used https://pomerium.com in the past for homelab. It builds around https://envoyproxy.io.

Thanks for the shout out yegle. Nowadays we also support native SSH and also act as an MCP gateway aside from our usual bread and butter IAP stuff.

You can use Infisical for both secrets, certs, and PAM: https://infisical.com

No. Infisical is headed the same direction. Most of the secrets management and PAM bits that matter are not even in the open source repo, you need a paid license to get access.

Infisical was really amazing. It did precisely what I needed and any missing pieces would go in as a PR that would be quickly reviewed and merged. Then came talk about raising more funds, signing up more enterprise customers. Then came refactors to "improve the architecture" and "increase security". All the core pieces I depended on were moved behind an enterprise license.

Want Infisical to support Forgejo logins or runners via keys minted by step-ca? Enterprise license. Special secret cubbys or enclaves? Enterprise license.

Anything outside a toy usecase for a home user - Enterprise license.

A year ago I spent ~3 focused weeks ripping out every piece of Infisical in my infra and replacing it with a mix of Keycloak, Conjur and Age/SOPS. They are ugly, hard to work with, setup and debug - I'm not proud of this monster but I won't have to deal with what's going to happen to Infisical.

Infisical has every right to do this, I'm not complaining about that. I'm simply mentioning that we have seen this movie before, including the company in the title, so at this point, the tells are clear.

Any reason you chose conjur instead of openbao? (the guaranteed open source/no restriction fork of hashicorp vault)

some one else at another corner might cook a meal out of him, would that be considered honoring him too !??

you comment about a certain country and your account gets banned !! i had 50k karma !! nothing negative btw ! just the name of one country and that too with regards to a technical acquisition ! primesense and q.ai. where primesense detected face movements q can detect emotions !!
