Being able to appreciate how these guys in *1982* engineered hardware and operating systems that can still be useful and fun (to some of us anyway!) today. 2025-11-04T16:45:37+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9a4sx2wfem3a82pn7dhpgkkjv0g8v8d4rfwtxl0lvalysqq3pp7czyqslfuh28gkmf88heh6jdgp0wj9ldjlmzw4vluwp4zagfgahzz7jsqtnchr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8533aj750g0rj4lvq9sq23jhd7wk5s9dwnw207q3k7hlt5lz6dgqhcl66r'>nevent1q…l66r</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>don’t several open source password managers support pass keys though?

Its #objectpipelies are powerful and expressive, it seamlessly interfaces with a plethora of platform APIs, and its syntax is discoverable with incredibly rich tab completion and help on the command line or web.<br/><br/>I would love to find some way to bring these concepts to *nix for folks who might not be able or willing to switch to specialized shells like #nushell or #elvish. Both projects are amazing but I honestly can&#39;t afford the time to rewrite the rich functionality I get from zsh /oh my zsh/plugins.<br/><br/>Maybe when I retire :) Come to think of it, building similar functionality in nushell/elvish to what I have now would be a delightful rabbit hole to dive down.
