@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry I haven’t seen your question before! and to answer your question, no, it wasn’t hard at all. it’s a simple go build …etc. as instructed + scp twtd to remote + made a systemd service for it to (re)start automatically under a dedicated twtd user for lols. + poked at the Caddyfile to reverse-proxy a couple of paths and called it a day.

@balloonfu-sen@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I have gone years without seeing an unpaved road here. Even on remote, rural areas, lots of roads are paved as well. Roads are fairly clean here too, though I have to admit that Japan excels at that, amongst other things.

New Linux Driver Posted To Enable Keyboard Support On M3 MacBooks
While Linux 7.2 introduces the ability to boot on Apple M3 Macs, it’s not yet remotely useful for end-users wanting to use an Apple Mac/MacBook as their daily system.

Speaking of UIs, this is how Thunderbird looks now:

https://movq.de/v/a41105eebb/

So we continue to let every program make up its own UI style (and then we complain that “the Linux desktop” looks “messy” and “inconsistent”). I guess this uses GTK, but it doesn’t look like any other GTK program. Buttons, tabs, drop-downs, whatever, it’s all different. It even has its own subwindow system (i.e., popups that you can’t move).

I didn’t say this in the blog post, but I’m convinced that programmers these days absolutely positively hate everything that looks even remotely like Windows 95 or Motif – with a passion. I see that in my coworkers as well, they really can’t stand it. It’s an emotional thing.

Getting the vim key bindings to work for focus switching in this modal dialog took me forever. Only cursors and (Shift+)Tab are supported out of the box. I absolutely understand that, it’s fine. I installed an input handler on the dialog, but the focus always stayed the same.

After two wasted hours, I was in despair to copy the tview.Modal into my own code base. Of course, I had to fix all the private tview field accesses first. But even installing the input handler directly on the buttons themselves did not work. Even though, the handler was definitely executed, the focus did not shift. Forcing redraws as a last resort also did not work.

Looking through all the messy chained input handling, I eventually stumbled across another place in the tview.Form, which is internally used by tview.Modal. This messed around with app focus receptions and input handlers. This gave me the idea to make the tview.Application refocus my modal dialog after I told the modal dialog which button to select. And would you look at that, this did the trick! I haven’t completely figured out what is going on exactly, but I could get rid of my Modal clone again.

I always go through hell with focus handling in tview. Each and every time. It just does not feel natural to me. Complete brainfuck to wrap my head around. The Urwid API felt sooo much more refined, it never was an issue. It just works. In fact, I cannot think of any other TUI library that has remotely the same pain level when it comes to focusing widgets as tview.

Now I’m curious how movwin deals with that. ;-)

I should have changed the key binding from Print to Shift+Print a long time ago to launch import and upload the screenshot to my server. I was constantly hitting that stupid key on accident when I actually wanted to press [AltGr].

If I only could map a key binding to slap these damn ThinkPad T15 keyboard layout designers at Lenovo remotely in the face. Seriously, who in their right mind puts Print (in German Druck) between AltGr and Ctrl at the bottom row to begin with?! Exactly. Nobody. What a horrible location.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hm, I’m not sure I would want to do that:

ForwardAgent
    ...

    Agent forwarding should be enabled  with  caution.   Users
    with  the ability to bypass file permissions on the remote
    host (for the agent's Unix-domain socket) can  access  the
    local agent through the forwarded connection.  An attacker
    cannot  obtain  key  material from the agent, however they
    can perform operations on the keys that enable them to au‐
    thenticate using the identities loaded into the agent.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Changing the user name helped, it now says Authenticated to git.mills.io ([199.247.16.95]:2222) using "publickey". ssh-add ... had no effect (even after ssh-add -D).
