Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

KeePass flaw allows retrieval of master password
DotNet offers the SecureString class to keep a string encrypted in Memory, but as long as the OS does not natively support this concept, the only advantage is that it resides in memory for a shorter time, the disadvantage is that SecureStrings are easier to search for.
- System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient is not recommended anymore; what is the alternative?
-
Bitwarden PINs can be brute-forced
Note the KeePass's resistance to the attack mentioned depends on the security of .NET's secure string, which, here's what Microsoft has to say about it (https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/D...)
As for KeePassXC, last I checked it didn't even bother.

Ever Find A Dead Man's Switch On A Network/Domain?
TIL. Looks like the deprecation note recommends MailKit.
-
Disabilities and Windows Passwords
Well of course, but it does have to be passed to the module that generates the hashes AD uses in the first place. And as I said, the standard password reset screen is bound to store the password in plain text somewhere as well.

Embedded logo in HTML email sent from PowerShell
This won’t help you with your question, but I figured I should warn against using send-mailmessage.
-
Alternative to PowerShell cmdlet 'send-mailmessage'
points you here.

API pagination help?
Some of the reasons for not using Hashtable or other non-generic collection types are outlined here. That's why Microsoft doesn't recommend their usage in new implementations across all of its API documentation.
- How to deal with credentials in automated scripts?
-
pfSense configuration backup
And if you really want to be secure you need to something better than a SecureString: https://github.com/dotnet/platform-compat/blob/master/docs/DE0001.md

- Ask HN: Developers/DevOps, how do you manage environment variables?
-
Can one use Vault to inject environment variables needed to setup on stack up rather than saving them in environment files with docker-compose?
Might not perfectly fit but I think that was one of the ideas behind - https://github.com/hashicorp/envconsul (which can use Vault as a source), and probably to a degree consul-template (though a quick skim of the documentation and I'm not sure if can use Vault as a source.)

How to Handle Secrets on the Command Line
You have envchain to store secrets as ENV variables in your keyring and execute commands:
https://github.com/sorah/envchain
Not really something you would use for production web apps, I think envconsul covers that usecase:
https://github.com/hashicorp/envconsul
-
To those who have set up some kind of automatic deployment of their services on pushes to a git repo, how do you manage environment variables/.env files?
Have you looked into Hashicorp's consul + envconsul? You can also encrypt data using their vault.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing platform-compat and envconsul you can also consider the following projects:
ImportExcel - PowerShell module to import/export Excel spreadsheets, without Excel
selfhosted - docker compose + traefik + tailscale
MailKit - A cross-platform .NET library for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.
zsh-secrets - Storing GPG encrypted environment variables
dotfiles - Home directory with an absurd amount of tweaks
