Native Secure Enclave backed ssh keys on MacOS

It turns out that MacOS Tahoe can generate and use secure-enclave backed SSH keys! This replaces projects like https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive

There is a shared library /usr/lib/ssh-keychain.dylib that traditionally has been used to add smartcard support to ssh by implementing PKCS11Provider interface. However since recently it also implements SecurityKeyProivder which supports loading keys directly from the secure enclave! SecurityKeyProvider is what is normally used to talk to FIDO2 devices (e.g. libfido2 can be used to talk to your Yubikey). However you can now use it to talk to your Secure Enclave instead!

Installing Windows and Linux into the same partition

But WHY?

There was a reddit post about installing Arch on NTFS3 partition. Since Windows and Linux doesn't have directories with same names under the /(C:\), I thought it's possible, and turned out it was actually possible.
If you are not familiar to Linux, for example you've searched on Google "how to dualboot Linux and Windos" or brbrbr... you mustn't try this. This is not practical.

Pre-requirements

UEFI system
Any Linux live-boot CD/DVD/USB... with Linux kernel newer than 5.15
Windows installer USB

Learn Go in ~5mins

This is inspired by A half-hour to learn Rust and Zig in 30 minutes.

Basics

Your first Go program as a classical "Hello World" is pretty simple:

First we create a workspace for our project:

First, get your access and secret key from here

Then embed it in the colab notebook.

%%writefile ~/.passwd-s3fs
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Need to restrict access

I bundled these up into groups and wrote some thoughts about why I ask them!

If these helped you, I'd love to hear about it!! I'm on twitter @vcarl_ or send me an email carl.vitullo@gmail.com

Onboarding and the workplace

How long will it take to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would

	# `gitea dump` doesn't currently back up LFS data as well, only git repos
	# It primarily backs up the SQL DB, and also the config / logs
	# We'll backup like this:
	# * "gitea dump" to backup the DB and config etc
	# * tar / bzip all the repos since they will be skipped
	# * Not rotated because git data is immutable (normally) so has all data
	# * rsync LFS data directly from /volume/docker/gitea/git/lfs
	# * No need for rotation since all files are immutable
