If you have ideas please let me know. I'm preparing to hop distros so I'm very tempted to ignore the problem, blame the old distro, and hope it doesn't happen again :)
When I hopped on the home manager train I enabled starship (since it was just a couple lines to add) and I'm very happy with it. It has a couple small things out of the box that I really want. Mostly, its trimming my path so it doesnt take the full width of my terminal. I have it set so it only prints the lowest 3 directories and it wont print any directory higher than the current git repo Im in. IMO i hate all the little emojis but that was very easy to remove/disable. Its a very clean experience, and straightforward config (toml if not using nix).
EDIT: here's a pic of the path trimming. This is about as complicated as it gets. Also, I'm using catpuccin color scheme in urxvt.
Wow 2fa on credit card purchases is a brilliant idea. And yeah I should probably look a little closer at my bank's extension and see if its really the threat I think it is.
If you need just the id you can always screenshot that barcode or store it in an app like Catima. I dont have any advice for if you need other functionality, sorry.
I have a Kobo Clara HD. I've not put a new OS on it but I've added custom software and sideloaded books. Its been a wonderful experience. No matter what you pick I recommend it for the eink technology.
Yeah, you're totally right. This is a very feature rich and comprehensive piece of software. This could maybe be accomplished with many different linux utils, but would lack to cohesion and polish. Thanks for sharing this, I might use this on the work computer.
I don't like having to renavigate to my project directory in a new terminal:
alias clone='(pwd | urxvt & disown $!)'
Takes my current directory and opens it in my terminal. Then it disowns that new terminal process, so if I close the current terminal the new one doesnt disappear with it.
On the tangent of quantum factorization, I feel like a reality of modern encryption at risk is still very slim. At least if the wiki article is anything to go by. I think we are sooner to have backdoors in encryption algorithms than we are quantum messing everything up.
The lid on this one is a little complicated. Lots of crevices so its hard to clean, and it can be difficult to pour too. Near the end I nearly have to turn it upside down to get the rest out.
I'm currently learning home-manager. There are some configuration options that let you define common program configurations in nix (the language). But those options are limited and might even require package installation.
So for complex (or existing) configs withou package management, you can just tell home-manager explicitly to take dot file at path A (in a git repo, for instance) and link it to path B. This will check for overwrites too, so if path B already exists it will yell at you and no write over existing files, so no sweat.
You can also define different profiles per machine, so if you need something different per machine home-manager can let you do that too. And since its nix, you can break out configuration files as you would in any other language to organize you dotfiles however you like.
There might be something clever in home manager for mapping a file path in your dotfiles repo to the same directory relative to your $HOME, but it's likely you'll just explicitely write something like xdg.configFile.nvim = { source = ./neovim/init.lua; }, mapping precisely each file in your git repo to the appropriate config location.
Let me know if you have other questions. I'm all aboard on the nixos train so I could be bias.
