Getting Started

Do yourself a favor and login as root to save yourself some time and headaches:

$ sudo su -

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.

Renew GPG key

Given that your key has expired.

$ gpg --list-keys
$ gpg --edit-key KEYID

Use the expire command to set a new expire date:

How to setup a development environment where Git from WSL integrates with native Windows applications, using the Windows home folder as the WSL home and using Git from WSL for all tools.

Note if using Git for Windows, or any tool on the Windows side that does not use Git from WSL then there will likely be problems with file permissions if using those files from inside WSL.

Tools

These are the tools I use:

git (wsl) - Command line git from within WSL.
Fork (windows) - Git GUI (must be used with wslgit)
wslgit - Makes git from WSL available for Windows applications. Important! Follow the installation instructions and do (at least) the first optional step and then the Usage in Fork instructions.

An issue with one of the domains on the server prevents the cert update/renewal :

certbot renew

ERROR

Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing...

Updating expired GPG keys and their backup 🔑🔐💻

I use a GPG key to sign my git commits.

An error like this one might be a sign of an expired GPG key.

error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object

Docker on Android 🐋📱

Edit 🎉

All packages, except for Tini have been added to termux-root. To install them, simply pkg install root-repo && pkg install docker. This will install the whole docker suite, left only Tini to be compiled manually.

Summary

Installing Star Wars: Battlefront II with Legendary

The game is not installed or downloaded via Epic, instead the Epic Games Launcher launches Origin to link your account to install the game. This can be done manually to still be able to install and download the game without the Epic Games Launcher.

Installing Origin

Origin needs to be installed and working for this, please consult https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Origin.md for how to get it running on Linux via Lutris.

On Windows Origin just needs to be installed and ideally updated to the current version.
