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.

Install this in your ale plugin directory (For Vundle + NeoVim that may be ~/.config/nvim/bundle/ale/ale_linters/c/norminette.vim)

Recently, Let's Encrypt launched free wildcard certificates. While this is good news in and of itself, as it removes one of the last remaining reasons for expensive commercial certificates, I've unfortunately seen a lot of people dangerously misunderstand what wildcard certificates are for.

Therefore, in this brief post I'll explain why you probably shouldn't use a wildcard certificate, as it will put your security at risk.

A brief explainer

It's generally pretty poorly understood (and documented!) how TLS ("SSL") works, so let's go through a brief explanation of the parts that are important here.

The general (simplified) idea behind how real-world TLS deployments work, is that you:

	self: super:

	{
	# Install overlay:
	# $ mkdir -p ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays
	# $ curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/LnL7/570349866bb69467d0caf5cb175faa74/raw/3f3d53fe8e8713ee321ee894ecf76edbcb0b3711/lnl-overlay.nix -o ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/lnl.nix
	userPackages = super.userPackages or {} // {

	# Example:
	hello = self.hello;

	'use strict';
	exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {

	// Get request and request headers
	const request = event.Records[0].cf.request;
	const headers = request.headers;

	// Configure authentication
	const authUser = 'user';
	const authPass = 'pass';

	# Use envFrom to load Secrets and ConfigMaps into environment variables

	apiVersion: apps/v1beta2
	kind: Deployment
	metadata:
	name: mans-not-hot
	labels:
	app: mans-not-hot
	spec:
	replicas: 1

	// This spreadsheet can be used to visualize your forntite statistics, as you play games the data will be automatically updated.

	// Add any number of usernames to the "fortniteUsernames" array and add main() as a time-driven trigger (5 minutes would be a good interval).
	var fortniteUsernames = ['silver_0_wins', 'rnzop_yt']; // add ass many usernames as you want here, note limited to 2000 api calls per day
	// Get an api key by direct messaging @Fortnite Stats on discord, with the message !getapikey visit https://fortnite.y3n.co/ for more details
	var key = 'yourAPIkey';
	// Everything else will be set up automatically.

	// if the servers status changes emails will be sent to these addresses, you can add as many as you want
	var emailAddresses = ['yourEmailHere']; // empty if you don't wanna send emails when fortnite servers change status
