Password Store (`pass`) on Mac, Firefox and Android

Completed the initial setup of [pass] on Macos Big Sur, this is after BitWarden locked me out half a day because apparently I had "network issues", but that seems highly doubtful.

Anyway that shook my faith in Bitwarden, so I searched for an alternative and I'm pretty happy with [pass]. It's simple, no-nonsense. In a nutshell it's front end for a git repo + gpg to handle encryption.

Bascially if your client side can reach/interact with a git repo and works with GPG (2.2 for Android/OpenKeyChain, see below.) we're in business.

Notes on color contrast WCAG

contrast-ratios
(L1 + 0.05) / (L2 + 0.05)

Where

L1 is the relative luminance of the lighter of the colors, and L2 is the relative luminance of the darker of the colors.

All these operations are very natural for buffer objects as well as strings, which leads me to the conclusion we should provide two flavours for each function, for buffers and for strings. The way emacs does it is by specifying an object argument. I find this suboptimal, but it is also possible solution (and would reduce the number of functions in half). Note that there are also different indexing conventions, see the Question below.

All functions come in buffer and string flavours. The “current position” is called point in buffer versions and offset in string

ogit --- other git

On Unix-es use a function to wrap git

Usage: ogit "path/to/repo/" [git options & sub commands]

ogit() {
  _PATH=$1
 shift

Bewell Ergonomic Standing Desk

I struggled for a while to get my Bewell Ergonomic standing desk to remember it's height presets. Somehow I accidentally got them to work (in a fugue state?). I then promoptly forgot how I got it to work.

Assuming you recieved the same manual that I did, all you learned from it was how to assemble the desk, nothing about the controller.

TBH I now feel very dunb for not working this out sooner, but here's how.

A Quick look at this thing

How to set overscan on MacOS Displays when the slider is missing?

When I connect a monitor or TV to my Mac. Usually I have an overscan slider in the Display Preferences. However sometimes, it's not there. Ironically, this always seems to happen when the screen needs overscan adjustment.

Thankfully it's not impossible to fix the issue.

I haven't found much useful information on this, the difficulty level is quite high, we will need to use the terminal. Open spotlight and type Terminal, press enter and you'll get an imposing Terminal window, with a flashing cursor and not much else. We'll come back to that in a moment or two.
