  • independent browsers that exist due to agreements with search engines.

    How independent are you if you take money from Google? Don’t take money from Google and then maybe you’ll become independent. But now you’re looking at a kind of second-fresh independence. Maybe if it becomes the first, you will start attracting users instead of only repelling them and slamming doors. Because you got hooked on the needle of Google money and eventually lost all your users.

    They fired a bunch of programmers. I sincerely wish them to go bankrupt and go to McDuck as waiters for 1.5 dollars an hour.

  • Integration with Android

    The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the “key management” menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.

    The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.

    Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the “Settings” menu. There we will need the following items:

    1. Git server settings. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type - OpenKeychain.

    2. Git utils. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.

    3. OpenPGP provider. Select OpenKeychain.

    4. Autofill.

    Now you can clone. Select “clone from server” on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.

    Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.


  • A small script for entering passwords into various windows via rofi, I take passwords from pass.

    Example script:

    #!/bin/bash
    # Sample file rofi_pass.sh
    passwords=$(find /home/fireshell/.password-store/ -type f -name *.gpg)
    selected_pass=$(echo -e "$passwords" | awk -F "/" '{printf "%s > %s\n", $5, $6}' | rofi -dmenu -p Pass)
    item=$(echo "$selected_pass" | awk '{printf "%s/%s", $1, $3}' | sed 's/\.gpg//g')
    data=$(pass show $item)
    pass=$(echo -e "$data" | head -n1)
    login=$(echo -e "$data" | grep -e "^login: " | sed 's/^login: //g')
    xdotool type "$login"
    xdotool key Tab
    xdotool type "$pass"
    

    In awesome wm I bound a key that calls it like this:

    awful.key({ modkey}, "p", function () awful.spawn.with_shell("/home/fireshell/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh") end    ,
    {description = "rofi pass", group = "launcher"}),  
    

    I turn on the computer, press the key combination and the script works, or I run this script from the terminal (~/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh), select the password - it works (if necessary, pinentry is called to enter the main password), after that I press the key combination, select the desired entry

    passmenu: extremely useful and wonderful dmenu script.
