Indeed, BitWarden works nice as a credentials manager, and I'm quite happy with the implementation of Passkeys.
Sadly my old Android 9 is not compatible with the mobile app, although I use the web for that case.
That said, that's what I've been using for years and I can't find a reason to try another (as usually happens with these tools)
I'd suggest of self-host or trying a public instance of Vaultwarden like https://passwd.hostux.net

“A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.” ― L.P. Jacks

Nothing fancy, although it has changed along the years.
I payed for Spotify Premium for many years, but since 2020 I think it lost its value for me, so I switched to YT, or a local company is offering Deezer free for a year.
I've been playing with the idea of storing most of my music in SD cards or internal memory from an old android.
Currently in my car I listen to music in a SD card with 'everything' I've been getting in the last 10+ years. I'm lazy to switch on the Bluetooth on my phone.
At home, I have a few different speakers, with line input and bluetooth. My wife has an Alexa near the dining room, so we often listen to music or the radio there.
Also, very often I play Youtube playlists on the TV (I'm looking for some way to listen to Youtube on a speaker, but haven't found any. Or with the phone with Revanced (which stopped working last week)
Since I have diverse players I try to stick to MP3 VBR, although I try to download or convert tracks to 'more recent' formats. Weirdly my car allows WMA, and more weirdly I have some tracks which came to that SD card mysteriously.
I haven't found FLAC interesting as when I was in college, I can't notice a difference between lossy and loseless formats. Perhaps my environment is too noisy or I'm getting older 😅
That said, I'd really want to isolate my home-office, I have too much reverb when recording, and also external noise, which sometimes affect when listening to music.

Ha! I had one of these in college (Win XP), and my father had a slightly newer model (Win Vista).
It was great to play FIFA 08, and the keyboard was amazing, although I agree it was really heavy and thick, but was affordable and powerful for that age.
Now I had a Dell Inspiron 2014 with Xubuntu, and works pretty well. I changed from HDD to SSD and it's now a pretty decent laptop to type notes and hacking a bit.

well, at work we use JSONC which basically is JSON + // and /* */
Its syntax is supported by vs code, and we wrote a few scripts to remove the comments so it's practically compatible with anything
It's day and night not only for configuration but for testing and development.

For Python, env files with dotenv.
For JS, usually JSONP or a config.js
For PHP a config.php with an array usually works
For C#, I try to avoid the ugly native XML, but it's what most of the team use...
For most I have a .env.sample in the repo, and we ignore .env or config* to avoid storing credentials.

Nos fastidia qué nos vendan. Encontrar anuncios. Nos causan dolor las paredes de pago o que nos pidan unos dólares para poder pasar.
En años recientes he encontrado esta situación difícil como creador. Desde un medio donde todo debería ser gratis, subsidiado por alguien más, me he movido a lo físico qué tiene costos, inventarios, viajes... Quizás se aprecia más el valor del contenedor qué del contenido.

Well, I'll describe basic microblogging actions as:
Reply - Extend a conversation, create a new twt in reply to another
Boost, Retweet, Repost - Silently show a twt to your followers (maybe to share some interesting URL to follow based on that twt)
Quote - Start a new conversation based on a previous twt (debatable, for instance Masto doesn't have this one, has to be done manually)
To go back a few steps I was checking this doc:
https://dev.twtxt.net/doc/twtsubjectextension.html
Reply is already covered there. Allows to tag someone with @nick1 which I think is good enough to start following that URL to see the whole conv.
For quoting, I like your idea of using '>'
It could be something like
```
(#hash) @nick > "Quoted text"\nThen a comment
```
Finally for boosting, there's no syntax to do that.
Since I was using
`[lang=en]`
to define a twt in a language different than the default one, I was thinking on something similar.
Perhaps
```
(#hash) @nick [boost]
```
Meaning, "hey! see that twt with hash # from that URL"

I'm thinking of a kind of 'boost' or 'retweet/repost' for twtxt, so it can help with discoverability of interesting people to follow.
Something like

Or the discussion there:

I think it could be easy to implement 🤔
Since relying on HTTP logs could be inconvenient on some servers, there were ideas of using WebMention or some HTTP endpoint to inform who's following your URL (like on Gemini Antenna).
From what I've read, timeline and yarn has experimental support for Webmention. Could @prologic or @darch share some insights on that?

> What is the difference between twtxt-php and timeline from sorenpeter?
twtxt-php is a minimalistic client based on another PHP project, you can see it on https://eapl.mx/twtxt
timeline is a better-looking Web app, with support for markdown, images gallery... you can see it here http://darch.dk/timeline/
twtxt-php is not actively developed, its core was merged into timeline
> Does it have a way to follow feeds from the web ui?
Yes, but you have to be logged in. Currently can only add URLs, not edit or unfollow.
> I was looking at it and what prevents someone from downloading the .config file and getting the password?
An .htaccess file
> Also how would I generate a totp password to use?
That part is missing on the Web side, there is a commented PHP code to do that

yarn is really cool, go for it!
Also, if you are looking for some lightweight and unfinished client, I could recommend the PHP script I'm using to reply here.
Started as a raw PHP script to twt and reply from my phone, running from a shared hosting, then evolved into twtxt-php on Github and parts of it were merged to
https://github.com/sorenpeter/timeline
And it's live here:
http://darch.dk/timeline/
The idea behind it is having 1 instance, and 1 .txt for each account, not using any database but only the .txt. Kind of experimental although works good enough 🙂

main problem with encrypted stuff is a good ratio between usability and security, when usability is "easier than what we already know", being IRC, Whats, Discord among others. Where I should keep my messages even if my passphrase or keys are lost.
And security is that black and magic box that is supposed to keep my privacy.
Interesting challenge!
