Yeah, actually. I agree that Biden handled the Afghanistan situation as well as anyone could. I guess I'd forgotten that with all of the things happening now.

She will most likely not be a great president, but could be a good one. If Biden wasn't so poor on the Middle East, he would have been a great one, from a policy perspective.

I thought that LORA was optimized for low data throughput? Running WIFI over such a link would suck.

Not in the US, but every LTE home internet provider I've dealt with is just a SIM that you can use in any off the shelf LTE/5G to wifi router setup. Mikrotik options are cheap and can handle simple one-device implementations, and multi-device mesh setups (that require more effort to configure)

Ouch, this one brings back bad memories. How about just signing mac binaries/packages.

I'll still get around to opening up an issue

Any hope at restoring peace and sanity, we'll take.

The other day I realized that there is a lot of cardboard in my brand name boots. Not the sole so I can't feel the cobblestones.

I don't think that Israelis en masse want a a war with Iran, but Bibi appears to.

Hey, sorry for taking a long time, but I am farting around with the pinentry option now.

I don't have screens, but I wanted to point out a few scenarios that are challenging with fuzzel:

  1. as I was trying to describe before, the ability to write accompanying text is pretty important, as you need to be able to describe what gpg key is to be unlocked, and typically a string like "Enter PIN for Richard Nixon [email protected]" is used - which is too long for fuzzel (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-descriptive-text-to-display) Also keep in mind the error scenario, which adds even more copy (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-error-text). Lastly there is a "set window title" feature, which is perhaps not important for us (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-button-texts)
  2. There are message scenarios which are difficult to place with fuzzel. Even if I wanted to just fail out some scenarios like reties, I would want some "notification", and would probably like to have fuzzel also used for that in order to keep the UI consistend across use cases. (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#message-box)
  3. There are cases where pinentry is expected to set copy for buttons for OK and Cancel and "Do not do this", IIRC to get internationalization. I think that these are less important. (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-button-texts)

https://github.com/james-nesbitt/pinentry-fuzzel is a first try, shamelessly stealing everything from https://github.com/zamlz/pinentry-rofi/blob/main/src/pinentry-rofi.sh

This is an example of why erosion of public confidence in democratic institutions is a critical problem. We want to be able to follow an institutional opinion on this topic, but our trust has been eroded by another topic, which makes it less trustworthy.

I didn't know about Cypress CA, but probably should have expected such.
