Used this to get a perfect score on SAT Physics. Thank you, Landgreen!

So? If someone can steal the hash, they could probably hijack the session anyway.

> Leaving fobs in the car more often

OTOH, it's much harder to leave a key in the car when you never have to take it out of your pocket in the first place.

Nope. Once you sync your cryptographic keys with your desktop application, the phone is no longer needed.

WhatsApp sends messages through the phone. Signal Desktop does not.

This is exactly what I'm doing!

> Would you like to join forces on a high quality fork? A few things concern me with tmux currently.

I would absolutely love to work together. Please contact the email in my github profile (@aaronjanse).

I'd be happy to state my feelings on each of those issues, but it seems like you have done more research than I have.

Would you mind including some of your thoughts in the email you send me?

I don't have zsh setup on the OS I'm running currently, but a simple example is that the light-grey autocomplete text from zsh/oh-my-zsh shows up on i3-tmux but not tmux (at least at the time of writing).

I honestly don't remember the exact details, and maybe it's now fixed.

I wasn't planning on sharing my project on HN until I've written up more documentation, but I'm actually working on exactly this problem.

https://github.com/aaronjanse/i3-tmux

So far I've got i3-like controls, resizing & scrolling terminal splits with the mouse, and better color support than tmux.

My current roadblock has been lack of motivation, but if *anyone& on HN finds this interesting (or even just files a bug report), I'd be motivated to reignite my work on the project.

Ask HN: How do you keep a private journal?

0xb100db1ade — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 00:18:13 +0000

I want to start keeping a journal, but I can't figure out a place I'd feel comfortable putting my personal thoughts.

I tried paper for some time, but (long story) I had to get rid of my notebook when a nosy acquaintance of mine started looking through my personal belongings.

I'm getting involved in hobbyist operating system development for learning purposes. I currently aim to, well, re-invent the wheel, but it would be fun to try something adventurous. Any ideas?

For things, I don't get around to doing, maybe someone more talented than myself could eventually pick them up.

0xb100db1ade — Sun, 11 Aug 2019 16:13:04 +0000

Cordless is awesome!

I've been using it for the past few weeks due to a problem with the Discord electron client spinning up my fans. Using Discord in the terminal fixes the problem (and scores major geek points!)

The main developer of Cordless is super nice. Each issue I've filed has been an absolute pleasure to discuss.

Ask HN: Should I invest time into learning a terminal-based workflow?

0xb100db1ade — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 06:23:31 +0000

I currently run Linux and do most things on the command line, except web browsing (Firefox), chat, email (Thunderbird), and text editing (vscode).

I've seen some people do everything in the terminal. Should I learn vim or emacs? Use a TUI email client? Uuse TUI chat clients? Why?

It will probably be a long time till I'll have another opportunity to invest time into something like this.

Interesting. For what algorithm & key size?

I'd love to quote this. I've heard it before but I don't remember the source.

Is that any different from a regular website?

I do, to some extent agree.

I think the idea is that privacy != anonymity. Signal provides the former, but not the latter.

It's tough. I think that usernames could become messy, but I also think it'd be amazing to anonymously tip a news reporter via Signal, but at the same time the latter would not be as safe as Tor etc.
