Is there now a straightforward way (on both platforms) to use KeePassXC in the role of login keyring/keychain? Last time I looked, admittedly not recently, the answer was “we think you shouldn't want this”.

Security key backup was always the biggest obstacle. In principle you could create fungible keys flashed with the same private key, but in practice that isn't possible (outside of some obscure open-source implementations). The second o

Higher Yubikeys do, but other FIDO2 keys, including Yubico's ‘Security Key’ series, don't. Apple's current policy on attestation is good (for consumers; I don't deny there are closed conditions where you'd legitimat

FIDO security keys don't store login-specific information. Passkeys do, which raises the lock-in problem. To be clear, I want to be able to use passkeys, or something close, but I won't if I can't control my keys, and I can

Bloaty is a nice tool. When I worked on Matter a couple years ago, we had the problem that its backend http://www.capstone-engine.org/ did not support Xtensa, and produced some Python tools that could take output from bloat

This site flips between dark-on-light and light-on-dark, at least one of which is a visual encumbrance to some people — see ‘astigmatic halation’ — and the other of which may well be to others. (In my experience, switching between the two,

My fantasy wish list: - Let me globally use Meta as default keyboard shortcut modifier. There's code in QT somewhere that does this but it's restricted to MacOS. - Get back custom window icons in the task manager. Apparently Way

This seems to almost do what I need, but not quite; I wonder if I'm mistaken or if someone knows that one of the other dotfile tools would suit me. The major gap: Some files belong to external repositories ( not all git ), and some o

Hmm, `man 7 environ` on Linux says “The user's preferred utility to edit text files”, which matches my long-term understanding. The original distinction between `EDITOR` and `VISUAL` was that the latter need not work on a printing term

Tip for vi+Kinesis users: swap ↑ and ↓ to match j and k. (It'll take a few days to get used to.) Personally, I also put Escape in the default-Delete position, where the Enter-Escape symmetry then matches the Space-Backspace symmetry.

Definitions, yes. Declarations can appear inside functions, but it's not common to see. int f(int x) { extern int g(int); return g(x + 1) - 1; }

Here, no. It's just a habit or common style guideline to always parenthesize macro parameters since so many macros can otherwise break.

I suspect VSCode is a baited hook. Get enough developers dependent on it, then degrade it on Linux, and offer WSL as close enough to have people switch their OS rather than their editor. With developers on Windows, cloud follows.
