<p>MCP lead to one good thing though<p>a lot of websites that never bothered to provide a REST API are now exposing MCP server because it has become popular, and you can use those servers to write normal automation for yourself, without plugging in any LLM etc</p>

<p>My frustration is omarchy getting more than $18 million in funding for some dotfiles... (i know it's an exaggeration, because omarchy foundation itself seems to be funding projects like Hyprland/Quickshell/mise)<p>but archlinux project probably deserved it instead of omarchy<p>(linux kernel already has enough funding i guess, so they don't need this)<p>---<p>Can someone explain me, how are they going to profit off this? they can't expect to show ads to linux users right?</p>

<p>i use sops<p>Encrypt: sops encrypt --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv .env > secrets.enc.env<p>then rm .env<p>You can then run your script/dev with: sops exec-env secrets.enc.env 'docker xxxx' (it will ask you for your password, or touch-id to decrypt the secrets)<p>I like this because this way the .env doesn't sit in the directory at all, and is only passed to your dev environment and stays in it while it's running<p>Decrypt back to a file (if you ever want that): sops decrypt secrets.enc.env > .env<p>---<p>Well ofc, any agent can do docker inspect to get all those env vars, but atleast reading the dotfiles won't do anything<p>you can also edit the file with: sops --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv secrets.enc.env</p>
