Cool tool, thanks for sharing!
moasda··on Ask HN: Which open source Android keyboard do you recommned
I use OpenBoard, installed from F-Droid. It's lightweight and doesn't leak your data.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have swipe but I decided to prefere a data protection friendly tool. I'm not sure if you can have both at the same time.

moasda··on Tell HN: Use a system instead of an app to manage your passwords
> not rely on any other third party

That's the main advantage of your approach I think. And it works with all devices. A lot better than using the same password for several accounts, as many people do.

moasda··on Tell HN: Use a system instead of an app to manage your passwords
Interesting approach. What do you do if one of the passwords got leaked? What new password do you use then?

If I knew one of your passwords, would you consider your system to be still secure?

moasda··on Ask HN: When you code at work, how do you code in your time off?
I have always been coding in my spare time. Usually, I work on tools that I use personally. That helps me to relax and it's fun for me. The main difference to professional coding is that I can follow my motivation and I can stop at any time.

After I became a manager I only code in my spare time.

moasda··on Ask HN: How do you keep track of your to-dos? longer-term projects?

moasda··on Lazarus – Professional Free Pascal Rad IDE
Happy to see Lazarus on the front page.

I have used it for many years. For me it's still the only IDE with a fast compiler that creates native applications for Linux and Windows (and many other OS). And it doesn't require additional runtime libraries to be installed, so just download and run the application.

BTW: I created a Personal Kanban Task Organizer that is automatically built for Linux and Windows. It uses lazbuild in a GitLab CI Docker Container:

moasda··on Is your SSH key still safe?
tl;dr - "you need to make sure your keys are using strong encryption by not having old keys laying around."
