ex-parrotmmm ok I spent entirely too long playing with sway and wayland and I think it's not really usable for me yet :/03:04
ex-parrotydotool is only a partial implementation of xdotool, the scaling is very blurry for X applications, not sure how to deal with notifcations, previously I had browser notifications go to dbus to my own script but now they seem to pop up in a giant independent window :P03:04
ex-parrotwofi is kind of only a partial implementation of the same features of rofi03:06
ex-parrotydotool is pretty damn gross, it makes a socket with a predictable filename in /tmp03:07
ex-parrotand I had to adjust udev to make /dev/uinput writable by my user :/03:07
ex-parrotit doesn't even have a man page in Debian :P03:08
ex-parrotit does make the web browser a bit faster tho03:08

lastebilrvense: you can do all sorts of things without it also (:  I've never run into anything that needed xdotool that couldn't be solved in a simpler way.14:22
rvensei'm not sure i have either, but you can do all sorts of things with it!14:28
rvensei probably haven't used it in ten years, and i don't really remember what i was trying to do14:29

_BnuA few corrected bad build script assumptions later, QB64 works fine on the Reform. ;D15:13
mntmnthis photo loads from the right to left!15:28
mntmn_Bnu: that's cool btw!!15:29
_BnuUnfortunately the ASCII character mappings in QB64 seem to be wrong... so the snakes are rendered in the top pixel when they're in the bottom one and vice versa. ('A`)15:32
_BnuI can't believe they would claim to be QBasic 4.5 compatible and can't even run Nibbles...15:32
mntmntsk tsk!!15:38

ex-parrotmntmn: perhaps :P I am still using it, so it can't be that bad either21:05
ex-parrotmostly I use xdotool for things like: I have a set of scripts w/ rofi and xdotool that let me pick a password to decrypt from a text file, then I use GPG w/ a yubikey to decrupt that password and robotype it21:07
ex-parrotbecause I work as a sysadmin so I'm typing passwords all day basically :/21:07
ex-parrotI also work across a lot of systems I don't always have enough control of to have e.g. my own scripts on them, so being able to robotype common operations in to the software I'm using is quite labour saving :P21:08
ex-parrotand of course, my emoji picker21:08
dopplerpretty much ditto except I'm not a sysadmin21:13
doppleralso I have some window management hacks that I cobbled together with it21:13
ex-parrotthe emoji picker is the most important21:13
dopplerof course21:14
ex-parrotI used to have an even worse workflow, which was a script that looked at the topmost / focused window, parsed the title bar, extracted the hostname of the machine I was on, then went and SSH'd in to the machine in the background, grabbed my encrypted password from a file in the homedir, locally GPG decrypted it then typed it in with xdotool21:14
ex-parrotwhen I worked for a company that looked after ~ 3000 machines belonging to a couple hundred different companies21:15
dopplerhehehe21:15
dopplerthat sounds convenient, albeit fragile21:16
+ rasmus-mk (~rasmus@c83-253-223-217.bredband.comhem.se)21:16
ex-parrotit was exactly that21:16
ex-parrotat least I currently work for a place that has only ~ 40 machines21:17
ex-parrotso I can live with re-typing the hostname to get a sudo password lookup21:17
dopplerthe main thing I'd like to figure out now is a reasonably secure way of avoiding typing my master password(s) every time I need to enter any password21:17
ex-parrotI use a yubikey in smartcard mode w/ proof of presence required21:17
dopplermaybe I'll do yubikey, yeah21:17
ex-parrotwhich, I can think of plenty of ways to hack around, but it would still make it more difficult21:18
dopplerhow does PoP work?21:18
dopplernot familiar at all21:18
ex-parrotand if there's one thing I've learned from working at a security auditing company it's that making things annoying for attackers has some value :P21:18
dopplersecurity is a spectrum21:18
ex-parrotit just flashes the LED on the yubikey when you ask it to decrypt or authenticate, and you have to poke the capacitive button to confirm you initiated the action21:18
ex-parrotI use this for my SSH and GPG21:18
dopplerah OK21:18
ex-parrotI have considered wiring up a morse code key to the capacitve buttons...21:19
doppler:)))21:19
dopplerI, uh21:19
dopplerdon't think my Yubikey has that feature sadly21:19
doppleror maybe I just didn't know about it?21:19
dopplerit's generation 4, IIRC21:19
ex-parrotyeah gen 4 can do that21:20
dopplerah! cool21:20
ex-parrotthe gen 5 makes it a little better for SSH as they fully support webauthn resident keys then21:20
dopplermm21:21
ex-parrotthere's something subtly different about the mouse acceleration curve in sway21:28
ex-parrotI can't put my finger on it but the mouse just doesn't quite move how I expect21:28

ex-parrothmm finding weird bugs with menus in GTK too, like it doesn't notice the mouse is over an option very reliably :/22:56
dopplerthat, uh, doesn't sound great22:59
ex-parrotmight be related to my scaling on my work computer I guess, haven't noticed it on this laptop at least23:00
