| Question | — |
Mac SSH sends some environment variables by default Why does the default SSH client behavior for MacOS send `LANG` and `LC` environment variables to the server? If I consult `man sshconfig`, it says > ### `SendEnv` > > \[…] The default is not to send any environment variables. Why would Apple decide to override it? (And if so, why leave... (more) |

At the risk of derailing the thread: Zoe are you suggesting that you have now used SyncThing successfully for something (password or otherwise)? I started to set it up at one point and abandoned it, though I can't remember why.

Several programs using KeePass's database format support TOTP. I'm not sure if TOTP is formally a part of the spec, but there are multiple programs across several platforms who can all use the underlying KDBX file.
I don't have first-hand knowledge of other open-source password managers besides th... (more) |

A: Synchronize OTP across multiple devices The QR code for Time-based one-time passwords (TOTP) just contains some secret info[^iv] to seed the TOTP app.[^androtp] You can dump it into another implementation of TOTP. The seed and the current time will predictably create the same rotating value at the same time. On the website where you're ... (more) |

A: What's up with the .co.uk domain? Generally, anyone who owns a domain at any level can make up whatever rules he or she desires to apply to its subdomains. If you own `ponies.example.com`, you could for example sell access to subdomains but decide to do it only if the subdomain is a color name (`brown`). In practice, almost nobody do... (more) |

Things I (think I) have learned:
- kinto is X-only. No Wayland.
- It appears to be wholesale input mapping. We're going to run into problems with copying from the terminal emulator if Cmd+C just maps to Ctrl+C.
Interesting project, though, and it led me to [this blog post](https://medium.com/@... (more) |

Interesting tip. Will investigate.
Other visitors: if you read this is "k-into" like "inputs to KDE," it does not appear to be that. It's https://kinto.sh like MacIntosh with a K. (more) |

Debian / KDE Plasma. I've done a global remap in system settings for Cut/Copy/Paste/Select-all to `Meta`+whatever instead of `Ctrl`+whatever, but there are applications (like FF) in which it doesn't work. (more) |

A: In VS Code, can you display an inline diff of unstaged changes? The command palette has entries[^bug] for "Show Next Change" and "Show Previous Change," with hotkeys listed as Alt+F3 and Shift+Alt+F3, respectively. You may also be interested in just paging to the next changes with (Shift+)Alt+F5. | Palette | Keybind | Command | |---------|---------|---------|... (more) |
