ssh copy id

I recently setup some vm’s on my main machine and got sick of signing in with passwords.

tmux push/pull panes

Moving panes between tmux sessions is something that makes tmux a very flexible and powerful tool. I don’t need this feature very often, but it comes in clutch when you need it.

Using choose-window I was able to come up with a way to select any pane withing any other session and join it into my current session.

# Choose a pane to join in horizontally bind f choose-window -Z 'join-pane -h -s "%%"'

Push/Pull from scratch #

I’ve long had this one in my tmux config, I always have a “scratch” session that I’m running, I often use for looking at things like k9s accross repos within a popup.

This use case puts a pane into the scratch session, then pulls it back out. I will use this to move a pane between sessions in the rare cases I need to do this.

ssh key permissions

I just shared some ssh keys with myself and ran into this error telling me that I did not set the correct permissions on my key.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Permissions 0750 for '/home/waylon/.ssh/id_*******' are too open. It is required that your private key files are NOT accessible by others. This private key will be ignored.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

I changed them with the following commands.

⭐ Allaman nvim

Check out nvim by Allaman. It’s a well-crafted project with great potential.

Minimal, blazingly fast, and pure Lua based Neovim configuration for my work as DevOps/Cloud Engineer with batteries included for Python, Golang, and, of course, YAML

nvim navic

With the latest release of version of nvim 0.8.0 we get access to a new winbar feature. One thing I have long wanted somewhere in my nvim is navigation for pairing partners or anyone watching can keep track of where I am. As the driver it’s easy to keep track of the file/function you are in. But when you make big jumps in a few keystrokes it can be quite disorienting to anyone watching, and having this feedback to look at is very helpful.

nvim exposes the winbar api in lua, and you can send any text to the winbar as follows.

vim.o.winbar = "here"

You can try it for yourself right from the nvim command line.

:lua vim.o.winbar = "here"

Now you will notice one line above your file with the word here at the very beginning.
