What are you talking about, I use the bitwarden extension in chrome and chrome never asks me to store a passkey, bitwarden does.

I'm not sure I understand why? If you hosted plex on a vps, you'd still call it self-hosted. I don't see why using (a) fargate or (b) lambda or (c) cf workers changes the calculus here?

Can you explain how you think Java does it more elegantly? That's a very surprising statement. Java didn't even do m:n threading until "Project Loom".

I think maybe the right answer is to have a standardized, curated group of libraries pegged at some sort of LTS release that only backports security fixes. However, someone would need to pay for creating and maintaining this -- and then you wonder where the money would come from?
