dwmblocks VS pass-import

I use this fork of dwmblocks, which supports updating of individual blocks through signals. It's not a "batteries included" deal like SLStatus though. You have to code the blocks yourself.

I use this version of dwmblocks https://github.com/ashish-yadav11/dwmblocks.

About Steam, I do flatpak because normally Steam gets access to my entire file system, I can isolate it with flatpak so just a pet-peeve reason really, I did it even before using Gentoo. And about dwm, thanks so much for liking it! It's still WIP so the dot files aren't properly set up yet, but here it is. My compositor is picom-jonaburg-fix and my statusbar is a slightly modified version of ashish-yadav's dwmblocks build.

Do me a favor and don't follow Luke's instructions. His programs are a pretty mess and dotfiles unnecessary big. If you want a sane fork of dwmblocks you can scroll through the suckless apps. My favorite is https://github.com/ashish-yadav11/dwmblocks . Upfront I need to warn you to read the instructions carefully because applying patches to dwm sometimes need to be applied in the right order.

The "applets" could be added with the systray patch if you want something graphical or with external utilities like trayer or stalonetray. It can also be done using dsblocks/dwmblocks for the status which support clickability but may need more tinkering if you want to show menus.

And unless you are on a desktop with a wired, always on connection, you might need a status bar, so you can see your battery percentage and Wi-fi connectivity. This one is good - https://github.com/ashish-yadav11/dwmblocks - however if you want to go really barebones, yet powerful, dwmstatus is the way to go.

It is dwmblocks, but there are several personal patches, i'm doing some refactoring for my dwm build, once it's done, i will push it to my github

You might want to give https://github.com/ashish-yadav11/dwmblocks a try.

Check the upstream of dwmblocks. It includes the needed patches.

> I always tell these people to just sign up for a password manager and they always resist and say no. I must be missing something obvious.

Maybe they don't want to be relying on a random third-party for all their passwords?

Rather than getting them to sign up for a password manager, what about getting them to install a password manager? I use https://www.passwordstore.org/ - it encrypts your passwords with GPG, and shares the storage via a Git repository for synchronisation between different machines.

That way you can delegate the password handling to another program, e.g. a password manager like pass(1) (https://www.passwordstore.org/) or some interactive graphical prompt.

I want to move to something compatible with https://www.passwordstore.org/ - an open standard for keeping your passwords in a folder encrypted with OpenPGP.

The problem is that I'm nervous to give an unknown Android app and browser plugin total control of my passwords and access to my github account when I don't have time to review it's code properly. I have a bit more trust ing the command line tools, but I'd like to be sure that more people are looking at the code before I trust my life to it.

Doesn't sound very secure. Also when you realize that you anyway have to trust cryptography, I believe it starts making a lot of sense to have an actual cryptographic key and encrypt it with one good random password you learn by heart.

I use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/, which encrypts my passwords with my GPG key, which comes from my Yubikey, which I unlock with a password. That means that I only need to remember one password, and it feels a lot more secure than your pattern based on url or brand.

i use pass and keep my database on a local git repo. it encrypts your passwords with gpg and is a really simple command line program

If you want portability and simplicity, there's a project called simply pass that uses standard *nix utilities (and git, I believe) to manage passwords from CLI.

0. Pass is just text files encrypted with gpg. I needed just one password on one work computer, where I had my gpg key, but not all my passwords. Decrypted the file and that was it.

1. There are plugins and web clients: https://www.passwordstore.org/#extensions

I've been incredibly happy with https://www.passwordstore.org/ for years. The data store is a file hierarchy, with the files themselves encrypted with GPG. Sync is via git. TOTP support with a plugin.
