Majority of websites use email to authenticate (“forgot password” flow). Passwords/passkey is just an optional convenience for quicker login.

I use this script for provisioning runners (with org-level single use access token).

The motivation is simply to have the runners share a local docker build cache rather than pushing and pulling cache from registry which is a ridiculous best practice.

For any small team wanting to try Copilot, heed my warning that you will waste hours navigating their billing settings using various out-of-date documentation. Long story short, I finally got an email from them saying that "Copilot Business is available for teams purchasing 10 or more licenses". This is undocumented but other people are reporting the same: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/199346
We're sticking with Cursor for now, using Kimi as our daily driver (branded as "Composer").

For anyone wondering, you can use Aerospace purely as a workspace switching solution without the tiling: https://www.boronine.com/2025/02/09/Instant-Workspace-Switch...

You can literally download a file called LineageOS_on_arm64.utm from the Releases page, drag and drop it into UTM and it Just Works. I've been looking for this holy grail for years.
(Seems that the bulk of the work is done by some heroes in the LineageOS community: https://wiki.lineageos.org/utm-vm-on-apple-silicon-mac)

I went down this rabbit hole before, you have to ignore all the recommended approaches. The real solution is to have a build server with a global Docker install and a script to prune cache when the disk usage goes above a certain percentage. Cache is local and instant. Pushing and pulling cache images is an insane solution.

Wow, this might be the best use of HSLuv so far, I'm going to add it to the examples page https://www.hsluv.org/examples/

I also used yabai for this purpose but found a solution that doesn’t require messing with security: https://www.boronine.com/2025/02/09/Instant-Workspace-Switch...

This is the correct answer. Pro-tip: use Django admin as a user facing interface in your prototype, then you won’t even need to write HTML templates, let alone client-side JS.

I have been using AeroSpace for this purpose for over a year. I simply disable all the tiling features in the config and only use two shortcuts: switch to workspace and move current window to workspace. It's absolutely essential when working on a small screen.
AeroSpace does indeed suffer from a performance issue but this appears to be inherent to the available macOS APIs: https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/issues/131
The way you reproduce it is open Factorio.app and quickly switch between workspaces while the game is loading.
FlashSpace seems to suffer from this problem as well based on a quick test.
With regards to configuration, I think it's cumbersome to configure shortcuts per workspace. In AeroSpace, every letter and number on the keyboard is automatically a workspace and shortcuts are global.
All that said, this is a fantastic tool and I would prefer a tool like this that addresses the pain of macOS workspaces as its primary goal rather than being part of a tiling window manager.
EDIT: After more testing it appears that FlashSpace does not support having different windows of the same app on different workspaces, this is a dealbreaker for my workflow :(

Oh looks like we misunderstood each other. The fact is that h2tunnel is not using SSH, because my goal was a minimal Node.js native solution. So I had to look for a built-in alternative for multiplexing and found HTTP2.
