Exporting your 2FA tokens from Authy to transfer them into another 2FA application

IMPORTANT - Update regarding deprecation of Authy desktop apps

Past August 2024, Authy stopped supported the desktop version of their apps:
See Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August for details.

And indeed, after a while, Authy changed something in their backend which now prevents the old desktop app from logging in. If you are already logged in, then you are in luck, and you can follow the instructions below to export your tokens.

If you are not logged in anymore, but can find a backup of the necessary files, then restore those files, and re-install Authy 2.2.3 following the instructions below, and it should work as expected.

Villager mechanics in 1.14. All this data has been deduced by using the following commands:

/data get entity @e[type=minecraft:villager,limit=1,sort=nearest] Brain.memories
/execute as orlp at orlp run tellraw @s {"nbt":"Brain.memories","entity":"@e[type=villager,sort=nearest,limit=1]"}

A villager is awake from 0-11999 and tries to sleep between 12000 and 23999.

A villager will claim a bed if:

About

• I faced bandwidth issues between a WG Peer and a WG server. Download bandwidth when downloading from WG Server to WG peer was reduced significantly and upload bandwidth was practically non existent.
• I found a few reddit posts that said that we need to choose the right MTU. So I wrote a script to find an optimal MTU.
• Ideally I would have liked to have run all possible MTU configurations for both WG Server and WG Peer but for simplicity I choose to fix the WG Server to the original 1420 MTU and tried all MTUs from 1280 to 1500 for the WG Peer.

Testing

• On WG server, I started an iperf3 server
• On WG peer, I wrote a script that does the following:
  • wg-quick down wg0
• Edit MTU in the /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf file
