Adding SSH keys to the YubiKey hardware security key provides convenience of SSH key use, especially when required for multiple computers.
Using a YubiKey to keep a single SSH key pair removes the need to generate a key pair for each computer.
Using one SSH key avoids the need for multiple entries in the allowed-signatures file to check locally that a commit has been signed.
A short week at work made even shorter by a company day to celebrate going live. A chance to unwind and reflect.
Neovim 0.10 is planned for 1 May 2024. Plugins should be unafected, although actively developing plugins like Neogit are trying to used parts of the Neovim API. The parts of Neogit that use 0.10 api should be more efficient, although I assume there wont be a noticable difference in functionality.
I will update Neovim to 0.10 when AstroNvim confirms it is working well with that release.
Not quite back to full health yet, so took it easy at the weekend.
More work on restoring spare bicycles so I can sell them or otherwise find a good home.
Continued the refactor of the Practicalli Service template, specifically refining the design of the system config and helper functions to support a development REPL workflow.
Enjoying being back in Debian Linux world, with regolith desktop as the tiling window manager.
I have several Lenovo laptops and all but one are now upgraded to Debian Linux, using the testing version of the distribution.
The most significant difference with Debian Linux is the use of a separate root account for administration, rather than using sudo in Ubuntu Linux.
The last month has been tough due to illness, although still managed to do a little work with Practicalli to keep me motivated (both for work and my own personal health)
I though the Practicalli Project Templates had broken when I tried to create a new service project. It took me an hour or so to realise I had simply been using the command with the wrong argument, doh!
As this week is mosly tweaks for Zsh history, I've titled this journal entry to be a play on words from the Shakesphere play 'Alls well that ends well'.
The fd built-in command for Zsh is a very effective way to keep the command history clean.
Illness is all around. Around 12% of people in Germany are currenly ill through covid, flu or a stomach virus. I have some relatively mild symptoms this week.
The hunt for a new place to live continues, investigating lots of facinating places in Scotland. Discovered an Ecopark with sustainably built housing. There is one house for sale and some new builds in the near future. Requested a build plan for the new build houses.
Interesting edge cases with evil-cleverparens and another question about choice of editor for complete beginners to programming.
Covid strikes again. Wiped out by the end of the week.
Will feel good to have all Practicalli website content have a consisten look.
Material for MkDocs really helps me convey information effectively (at least in my own view).
Still have a few covid symptoms, but not as much this week. Usually only in the mornings.
Understand what is the most valuable thing and focus on attaing it.
Technical writing is a skill that regularly needs practice.
