Hey, sorry for taking a long time, but I am farting around with the pinentry option now.

I don't have screens, but I wanted to point out a few scenarios that are challenging with fuzzel:

  1. as I was trying to describe before, the ability to write accompanying text is pretty important, as you need to be able to describe what gpg key is to be unlocked, and typically a string like "Enter PIN for Richard Nixon nobody@trickydicky.gov" is used - which is too long for fuzzel (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-descriptive-text-to-display) Also keep in mind the error scenario, which adds even more copy (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-error-text). Lastly there is a "set window title" feature, which is perhaps not important for us (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-button-texts)
  2. There are message scenarios which are difficult to place with fuzzel. Even if I wanted to just fail out some scenarios like reties, I would want some "notification", and would probably like to have fuzzel also used for that in order to keep the UI consistend across use cases. (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#message-box)
  3. There are cases where pinentry is expected to set copy for buttons for OK and Cancel and "Do not do this", IIRC to get internationalization. I think that these are less important. (https://gorbe.io/posts/gnupg/pinentry/documentation/#set-the-button-texts)

https://github.com/james-nesbitt/pinentry-fuzzel is a first try, shamelessly stealing everything from https://github.com/zamlz/pinentry-rofi/blob/main/src/pinentry-rofi.sh

This is an example of why erosion of public confidence in democratic institutions is a critical problem. We want to be able to follow an institutional opinion on this topic, but our trust has been eroded by another topic, which makes it less trustworthy.

I didn't know about Cypress CA, but probably should have expected such.

Do you mean "Cyprus" the country, or Cypress the type of tree?

In most linux tiling managers it is used with directional keys to nav windows and desktops.

Is emacs considered a modal editor?

Let me try for a pinentry script over the weekend first, to see how the placeholder looks.

It might be nice to have a way of giving more context, which is what the message option was good for in rofi. Not knocking it though, I am a happy fuzzel user.

The script is there in the post, but I haven't tried it yet. It would be nice if fuzzel had a message option, like rofi, so that key information could be displayed in the passphrases request; that s is what pinentry-rofi uses.

Has anyone done any greenhouse automation with hass? I don't know where to start.

It used to be considered a security risk back in the day. Maybe it just a security "unknown"
