If you have a LUKS-encrypted partition on another disk, it's easy to mount it inside WSL.

List your disks:

Mount the whole disk inside WSL (using --bare so WSL doesn't attempt to mount it automatically):

Get a 5.12 Linux kernel with support for newer Intel hardware (e.g., Intel Iris Xe for Thinkpad X1 Titanium Yoga) on Ubuntu/Debian/Pop!_OS

Prologue: Do I need this?

I recently got a Thinkpad sporting an Intel® Core™ i5-1140G7 Processor 11. gen (1,80 GHz, Turbo Boost, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 8 MB Cache with an Integrated Intel® Iris® Xe. Sadly graphics drivers did not work out-of-the-box and also not with the latets 5.12 kernel from xenmod. You can tell it's not working when graphics are slow, backlight adjustment buttons don't work and this is the output of inxi -G (you might need to sudo apt install inxi):

simon@pop-os:~$ inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel driver: N/A 
  Device-2: IMC Networks Integrated Camera type: USB driver: uvcvideo 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.9 driver: fbdev unloaded: modesetting,vesa 
 resolution: 2256x1504~95Hz

58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

A modest proposal for a first-class destiny operator equivalent in Svelte components that's also valid JS.

Svelte 2 has a concept of computed properties, which are updated whenever their inputs change. They're powerful, if a little boilerplatey, but there's currently no place for them in Svelte 3.

This means that we have to use functions. Instead of this...

<!-- Svelte 2 -->
<h1>HELLO {NAME}!</h1>

Set up an Upspin server backed by Google Drive

Overview

The purpose of this document is to explain how to deploy an Upspin server on a Debian or Ubuntu based machine - which can be a Raspberry Pi - and, optionally, use Google Drive to back the data.

Effectively, this will give you all the nifty advantages Upspin gives you in terms of file sharing without requiring a costly server.

Requirements

Electron apps

Slide deck frameworks supporting Markdown source

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.
