  • Ubuntu – few applications, unstable: over time, some problems with the volume were, cured only reboot; there is no normal application Telegram (web client that the battery eats).

    CalyxOS is subjectively more convenient, F-Droid and RuStore download by machine, F-Droid installs an update machine, RuStore downloads and asks for /e/OS RuStore to download forcibly. Also on both MicroG systems, but on /e/OS, SBPay bent and didn’t work, on CalyxOS - no problem. Similar to applications, for example, for renting scooters: on /e/OS some problems, on CalyxOS - no problems. There are fewer problems with CalyxOS.

    With Sber, Rosselkhozbank and Unicredit, there are no problems there or there. Russian mail application does not work on any platform.

    The only plus/e/OS is what is in GooglePlay, but not in RuStore, it is easier to put: AuroraStore on CalyxOS makes you go out and log in all the time to update the installed applications; on /e/OS, what is installed in your home store, including with Google PlayStore applications is updated without problems by automaton.



















  • Integration with Android

    The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the “key management” menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.

    The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.

    Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the “Settings” menu. There we will need the following items:

    1. Git server settings. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type - OpenKeychain.

    2. Git utils. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.

    3. OpenPGP provider. Select OpenKeychain.

    4. Autofill.

    Now you can clone. Select “clone from server” on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.

    Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.


  • A small script for entering passwords into various windows via rofi, I take passwords from pass.

    Example script:

    #!/bin/bash
    # Sample file rofi_pass.sh
    passwords=$(find /home/fireshell/.password-store/ -type f -name *.gpg)
    selected_pass=$(echo -e "$passwords" | awk -F "/" '{printf "%s > %s\n", $5, $6}' | rofi -dmenu -p Pass)
    item=$(echo "$selected_pass" | awk '{printf "%s/%s", $1, $3}' | sed 's/\.gpg//g')
    data=$(pass show $item)
    pass=$(echo -e "$data" | head -n1)
    login=$(echo -e "$data" | grep -e "^login: " | sed 's/^login: //g')
    xdotool type "$login"
    xdotool key Tab
    xdotool type "$pass"
    

    In awesome wm I bound a key that calls it like this:

    awful.key({ modkey}, "p", function () awful.spawn.with_shell("/home/fireshell/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh") end    ,
    {description = "rofi pass", group = "launcher"}),  
    

    I turn on the computer, press the key combination and the script works, or I run this script from the terminal (~/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh), select the password - it works (if necessary, pinentry is called to enter the main password), after that I press the key combination, select the desired entry

    passmenu: extremely useful and wonderful dmenu script.
