How animations work (more or less)

To be frank, I don't know all the details about making your own custom Animation class. I know only a general idea, but the details are fuzzy. I usually end up using a trial-and-error approach trying different methods and reading the source code of similar animations, until it works. But the main idea is:

1. An animation receives a mobject (it can be a group) on which it will operate. In the __init__ method usually it only stores that object into self.mobject, so every animation has that object, and other animation attributes such as the run time, rate function, etc.
2. When used in a .play(), manim will call its begin() method. Usually you don't need to override that. The default implementation creates another inner object called self.starting_mobject which stores the initial state of the mobject being animated, and it is simply a deep copy of self.mobject (although you can override how that starting mobject is created by overriding `create_starting_mobj

Working with sections in manim

Manim provides out of the box the possibility of marking parts of your scene as separate sections, by using self.next_section(). This will cause a separate video to be rendered for each section, and then all of them will be stitched together for the final result. The final result will be the same as if you hadn't used sections at all.

But the use of sections allows you to mark some of them with the parameter skip_animations=True, and in that case, that section will not be rendered. The code of the section will be run anyway (because it may be defining objects or variables needed in following sections), but for every self.play(), only the final frame will be computed (and not rendered). This ensures that, at the end of the section, all objects are at the same positions as if the animations were played, but skipping the actual rendering significantly reduces the time required to run the code.

In addition, the resulting video when skip_animations=True is used will be s

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

---

*update: TBC, but this new might affect how easy it is to use this technique past August 2024: Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August

---

This gist, based in part on a gist by Brian Hartvigsen, allows you to export from Authy your TOTP tokens you have stored there.
Those can be "standard" 6-digits / 30 secs tokens, or Authy's own version, the 7-digits / 10 secs tokens.
