How to make a small tweak to free software

The target audience for this is people who are beginners at software engineering and using linux. A lot of the information here may be obvious or already known to you. The language involved is C but you do not need to know any C to read this tutorial. I used mg to write this blog post. I used vs code to edit the source code.

This post is also available on gopher://tilde.team:70/0/~river/tweak-free-software

If you use a piece of free software and it's 99% perfect but there's just this one thing it does that annoys the hell out of you.. you can in theory just fix it! Here's a look at what doing that is like. Hopefully it inspires you, or you pick up a could tricks on the way!

Step 0: Have a problem

(EDIT: Besides Reddit, I've also put this up on Github Gist)

So while looking for information on security keys before getting one myself, I got very confused reading about all the different modes and advertised features of Yubikeys and other similar dongles. The official documentation tends to be surprisingly convoluted at times, weirdly organized and oddly shy about a few of the limitations of these keys (which I'm making a point of putting front and center). Now that I have one, I decided to write down everything I figured out in order to help myself (and hopefully some other people reading this) make sense of all this.

Since I'm partly writing these notes for myself, there might be some back and forth between "exp

Management @ PlanetScale

We want PlanetScale to be the best place to work. But every company says that, and very few deliver. Managers have a role in creating an amazing work experience, but things go awry when the wrong dynamic creeps in.

We have all seen those managers who collect people as “resources” or who control information as a way to gain “power.” In these cultures, people who “can’t” end up leading the charge. This is management mediocrity.

What will make us different? At PlanetScale, we won’t tolerate management mediocrity. We are building a culture where politics get you nowhere and impact gets you far. Managers are here to support people who get things done. They are as accountable to their team as their team is accountable to them.

We evaluate managers on the wellbeing and output of their team, how skillfully they collaborate with and influence others, and how inclusively and transparently they work.

You can expect your manager to:
