Twitter allows users to download parts of their data, see How to download your Twitter archive.

But what's not included in that data dump is the usernames/handles of the people that you follow or are following you. All you get is account IDs which is just an internal number and so a bit useless when it comes to archival.

Here's a way to get that data (you need to know how to run stuff in the terminal):

1. Go to your Twitter profile in a desktop browser (Firefox or Chrome)
2. Right click on page → Inspect → Network tab
3. Click on the Following link (e.g. https://twitter.com/{yourusername}/following)

• Installation date: 16-08-2019
• Additional notes based on my own experience
• EFI boot
• Ubuntu 19.04 -> 21.04
• This should work on any computer. Only the RAID > AHCI change described below and the device name for the nvme ssd drive are specific to this laptop.
• The process describes a completely fresh installation with complete repartitioning, however it should work fine when Windows is already installed (eg. brand new machine with Windows preinstalled) as long as Windows already boots with EFI.
• The process was conducted on Dell's XPS 15 9560 (2017) with specs:
• CPU: i7-7700HQ

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.

#Fixing “WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!” on Linux

If you are getting this error then you probably reset the permissions on your hidden .ssh directory in your user folder, and your keys aren’t going to work anymore. It’s very important that these files not be writable by just anybody with a login to the box, so openssh will give you an error if you try to use them.

The full error message:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Moving Authy to 1Password

1Password 5.3 for OSX, 5.2 for iOS, and 4.1.0.538 for Windows support OTP. I've been using Authy for a while now, but the fact is, I haven't really been using 2FA for some time. As mentioned by 1Password in a recent blog post, having the OTP generator and password on the same device is very much not 2FA. It's just an expiring OTP, which can help, but let's not kid ourselves too much.

With that out of the way. One of the things that was interesting to me was moving my OTP out of Authy and into 1Password. I like the control I get with 1Password, but I didn't want to have to reset all my OTP right away, that would suck. So, I got to dissecting the Authy Chrome App to see what I could do.

Run the Authy Chrome app and make sure it's unlocked.

Now, enable Developer mode in Chrome. We'll need this to inspect the background application that stores al
