How do you eval SSH agent output in fish? SSH agent prints some envar commands for sourcing in a shell. However, these are bash-style, and I use fish. Fish barfs at the bash syntax. How can I fix it? (more) |

A: SSH key added to agent, but keeps asking for password After some digging, I was able to figure out the problem. I actually have multiple keys. In Kwallet, I noticed that one of them has the wrong passphrase. So looks like I put the passphrase of Key X for both keys X and Y, and now Y is failing (because that's the wrong passphrase). It looks like Kwalle... (more) |

SSH key added to agent, but keeps asking for password I have my key added to `ssh-agent` and they show up in `ssh-add -l`. When I try to actually SSH to a host that requires the key, I still get prompted for a password. I enter it again and again and it seemingly refuses to cache it. Frustratingly, this configuration is copied between several compute... (more) |

Of course, you would still have the secure erase problem if you leaked the key, because you can no longer consider the cryptodisk secure.
I get that there is variation between hardware implementations. For that matter, same could be said for magnetic HDDs. But at the end of the day, I doubt all th... (more) |

How to securely erase data from a thumb (solid state) drive How do you securely erase data from a thumb (USB/flash) drive? With traditional (magnetic/spinny) hard drives, it used to be that you could use various tools to simply overwrite with random data, and make it unrecoverable. You even have tools like `shred` that can do it for a specific file. Man... (more) |

Honestly, I've ran into such issues with it as well. It seems like `xdg-open` is supposed to be the final word, but sometimes isn't. I despise this tool for that reason, but we seem stuck with it.
The file associations are actually cached, and I think after changing one you also have to reload the... (more) |

A: How to change the default app for opening directories in Gnome? I don't use Gnome, but I'm guessing it relies on `xdg-open` to figure out what program to use. Your first step would be to do `xdg-open ` to see if it uses the same incorrect program. If so, great - you can troubleshoot xdg-open. If not, Gnome decided to write their own file association resolver t... (more) |

By default, `y`ank sends to an anonymous register, which is separate from the clipboard. However, you can make it send to other registers. The registers `` and `+` in particular are interesting, because they ha... (more) |
