Quite complicated to get it all setup (definitely not for non-technical users), but both are GPL and I now have all my passwords available with hardware protection (yubikey on desktop, secure enclave on iOS) in all locations.
Hi HN. We use YubiKeys on desktops/laptops with pass/password-store, and have been fiddling with various ways to get them to work on our phones and tablets for a long time. Sort of dawned on us that since the Apple secure enclave gives the same sort of "non-extractable" protection as a YubiKey does, we could just use that. Paired with touch/face-id, seems like a pretty good YubiKey alternative for a mobile app. Since we could not find an iOS password-store client that uses the secure enclave, we wrote one.
Really appreciate any feedback on this, especially potential vulnerabilities or weak approaches we are taking. We are not full-time cryptography/security experts, so would particularly like to see a hearty critique of how we've gone about this from anyone who is.
Not the original author, but I agree completely with the sentiment that it is good way to get across what's special about Emacs in a relatively short amount of time.
It's wild to me Time Machine works on your network. Are you just doing "first backups" over and over again, or have you somehow achieved the very rare state where Time Machine can run for, say, a week at a time without falling over?
Sorry, this is snarky and off topic, but I'm nostalgic for the days when Time Machine "just worked".
All the infrastructure that runs the whole AI-over-the-internet juggernaut is
essentially all open source.
Heck, even Claude Code would be far less useful without grep, diff, git, head, etc., etc., etc. And one can easily see a day where something like a local sort Claude Code talking to Open Weight and Open Source models is the core dev tool.
I used Emacs for several years before I discovered "project" (it's built in). If you're navigating dired trees or similar to find files or grep for strings in groups of files, this is like magic:
C-x p f (find any file in the current "project", e.g. git repo)
C-x p v (grep the whole project super fast)
It's embarrassing how long it took me to realize it was there all along. :-)
If you're already using Emacs and/or org mode, then this is a useful guide to setting up a blog/site that is super easy to maintain/push/etc, including free hosting at github with a custom domain name:
