st VS Bitwarden

> you need to "edit your makefile". That isn't going to work for distributions

Is it not? [st] requires exactly that. And distros seem to have no issues shipping it.

I am fundamentally and ideologically opposed to using a terminal emulator implemented in electron.

If you feel similarly, then you might enjoy https://st.suckless.org/

You can use different forks of the ST. I, for example, use this one, already with the necessary patches https://github.com/mrdotx/st

My journey of using terminal emulators began together with my introduction to Linux about 7 years ago. GNOME terminal was my first as it came pre-installed on Ubuntu, my first Linux distribution. Since then, I've had the opportunity to explore and utilize a range of terminal emulators, including Alacritty, Kitty, st, Konsole, xterm, and most recently iTerm2. It's been interesting to experiment with these different emulators, each offering its unique features (or similar however with each with personal touch), user interfaces, and performance benchmarks. Just the other day, a new terminal emulator caught my attention: Warp Terminal. My curiosity won, and Warp was downloaded, this short blog are my thoughts about Warp terminal. At the moment there is only support for macOS, however linux and windows builds are on the way.

Terminal : st

For those looking for a minimal VT100 terminal emulator without the legacy baggage of Xterm, I highly recommend checking out Suckless Software’s st: https://st.suckless.org/

That last reference builds off of the work of the other two. It also breaks down how NOT modern Xterm is, but, if I've read it correctly, it confirms that its input latency is low compared to all other tested terminal emulators, including Alacritty and ST, which humorously and justifiably thrashes Xterm on its homepage for being a bloated program. Its not a good choice for everyone: it has poor right-to-left text and Unicode support, making working with Chinese, Arabic, and other alphabets not great, I've read.

ST is a favorite of some fervent minimalists. I do not think you would like it.

For passwords and 2FA I use Bitwarden in combination with a self-hosted Vaultwarden service (for imcreased security and use of pro features for free).

First it's good to use a password manager, however it's not a good idea to use the one built into your browser. I would suggest switching to BitWarden or similar (not LastPass).

I just noticed today when relogging in on Bitwarden (I couldn't sync my vault) that it said "Logged in as [email] on __$2__" instead of "Logged in as [email] on bitwarden.com". I don't know why or how that happened, and I have no idea what it means. Did I screw up somehow? Just to be clear, I did login and just after I logged in my brain realized that it said "__$2__" instead of what it should say.

Bitwarden (version 8588): A secure and free password manager for all of your devices.

I would also recommend the use of a password manager such as Proton Pass, BitWarden or 1Password if your looking for a more premium solution.

Use a password manager if you do not already and have it generate unique passwords for every website. Bitwarden is one of the best. You should NEVER reuse passwords and should always use unique passwords. It may be inconvenient at first but a password manager like Bitwarden really does make it a whole lot more convenient. Your e-mail especially should have its own unique password. You should also use two-factor authentication on any website that offers it. If you do not have a good AV on your computers, Bitdefender and Kaspersky both offer free options. The website https://haveibeenpwned.com/ is a good place to check if your credentials have been in a data breach.
