> It is just crazy how easy it is to set this stuff up nowadays. I run both Navidrome and Jellyfin in docker containers….

Wow, I’ll get grandma to do it! Ha ha, just kidding, but I’ll try it myself. Ha ha, just kidding.

Honestly, I just want to scream “self-hosting isn’t going to happen, stop trying to make it happen.” I absolutely welcome the hobbyists doing this fun stuff in their free time, but the idea that they will ever win over ordinary users is total fantasy. And it’s accompanied by reality-denying stuff like how “you don’t need” feature X or Y. Sure, I long to go back to organising my own mp3 files like it’s 2002. And because you’re angry about corporate power, Spotify or whoever definitely provide no features of value to anyone! This is all pure mood affiliation.

Sorry. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad your setup works for you. But I think you are not using the word “easy” in the same way as most people.

I am hyper aggressive about cutting monthly services. If I don’t feel I am getting value, or can get the value from somewhere else with a little more work, I cut it. For example I would never, ever pay for YouTube Premium. This has led to a pretty disciplined set of monthly services and low cost. Kagi though is one of the most useful services I have and goes way above and beyond this bar, so keep it around.

To ape someone else’s lament: I can’t take advantage of this because I use it daily.

yeah, but at least it's not an Electron app

One git life hack I adopted is to sign my commits with an SSH key that is stored in 1Password. Anytime a tool like git or vs code (with git under the hood) wants to sign commits, fetch/pull/push a remote, or clone a repo I get a nice pop up from 1P which prompts for TouchID on my macbook. My SSH keys don't not live on my machine as a result. This also works with SSH agent forwarding if you develop inside a VM or remote machine.

I use Fastmail for that and without noticing, I'm to 32 "fake" addresses. Got banned by EA for buying and playing a game with an account on such an address.

I think they've found their sweet spot as a publisher rather than a development house.

It's hard to make successful games, and just throwing large sums of money and people at a problem doesn't guarantee success.

Looks like GitHub is handling Passkeys smoothly. I added one on my Mac stored in 1Password with no problems.

Note that not all sites are handling it quite as well. For example I tried to add one at Home Depot. As part of this they emailed me a verification code. I entered the code, and it then asked if I wanted to enable login by Face ID or Touch ID.

I'm on a Mac which has neither Face ID or Touch ID so said no. It continued and I was logged in.

It turns out that if you say no it doesn't actually make a Passkey. It just does a one time password free login via entering that code that was mailed to you.

To actually make a Passkey for Home Depot you have to say yes to Face ID or Touch ID.
