SSH setup

Generate a new SSH key:

  ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"

Start the ssh-agent in the background:

  eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

Add the SSH key to the ssh-agent:

  ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

GnuPG

https://gnupg.org/

Install the gnupg package:

  yay -S gnupg

Create a key pair:

To configure the gpg-agent to cache the passphrase, edit the following file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

  default-cache-ttl 60480000
  max-cache-ttl 60480000

Install Gnome-Keyring to automatically unlock the GnuPG keys:

rofi - Application Launcher

Rofi is a very nice alternative to dmenu.

Installation:

  yay -S dmenu rofi rofi-calc

To be able to run sudo commands with rofi (github issue), the command sudo -A can be used: it opens a rofi prompt to ask for the password.

For that to work, we need to add the following code to ~/.profile:

  export SUDO_ASKPASS=~/.local/bin/askpass-rofi

The askpass script is:

  #!/bin/sh

  rofi -dmenu \
       -password \
       -no-fixed-num-lines \
       -p "$(printf "$1" | sed s/://)"

pass - Password Manager

https://www.passwordstore.org/

Installation:

  yay -S pass

Initialize the password store as a git repository

  pass git init
  pass git remote add origin https://github.com/tdehaeze/pass.git

Gui Manager: qtpass

  yay -S qtpass

Integration with Rofi: rofi-pass

  yay -S rofi-pass

Then we can add a shortcut to rofi-pass on i3 config.

Integration with Git: pass-git-helper

  yay -S pass-git-helper

First, add the relation between repository addresses and entries in pass. This is done in the following config file .config/pass-git-helper/git-pass-mapping.ini:

[github.com*]
target=github.com/tdehaeze

Then, add the credential helper on the git configuration file ~/.gitconfig and add the default username for the repositories adresses.

[credential]
    helper = !pass-git-helper $@

[credential "https://github.com"]
    username = tdehaeze

Integration with other programs

Integrate pass in other programs is usually very easy, here are few examples:

  • ~/.msmtprc:

    • passwordeval "pass email/dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"

  • ~/.mbsyncrc

    • PassCmd "pass email/dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"

Integration with qutebrowser

Integration with Buku

Synchronization with a git repository

The database is stored in ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db.

We initialize a git repository in this folder:

  cd ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db
  git init

Then we create a script that will automatically add bookmarks.db and push to some repository: buku_git_push.

To automatically run the script every day, a systemd unit is used: ~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.timer and ~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.service

  systemctl --user start --now bukugit.timer

Import Bookmarks from Firefox and Chrome

From Firefox, export the bookmarks as html file. Then import the bookmark file using buku -i bookmarks.html. This will add a tag with current date to all bookmarks imported. To remove them, use: buku --replace '2018dec20' ''

Web Interface

Run:

  bukuserver run --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5001

And then browse to http://127.0.0.1:5001.

Multi-line messages

Solution is provided here: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/118 It uses multiline.pl script. Then alt-enter is bound to insert a new line:

  /set plugins.var.perl.multiline.magic_paste_only on
  /key bind meta-ctrl-M /input insert \x0a

And enter is bound to magic_enter that directly sends the message if its one line, and if its multiple line, waits a little bit and then sends the message:

  /key bind ctrl-M /input magic_enter

Send message using $EDITOR

https://github.com/keith/edit-weechat

  mkdir -p ~/.weechat/python/autoload
  cd ~/.weechat/python/autoload
  wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keith/edit-weechat/master/edit.py
