• Marknote, ISO Image Writer and Keysmith coming to experimental

    From Martin Steigerwald@21:1/5 to All on Sun Oct 13 20:20:01 2024
    Hi!

    These are all kind of new apps. All packages are initial releases into the Debian archive.

    Marknote is the official endorsed alternative to the retired KNotes.

    ISO Image Writer is a program to write ISO image files to USB sticks and so
    on.

    Keysmith is a new KeepassXC based approach at storing passwords in KDE.

    Thanks to Vincent, Jesse and Yifei for packaging these!

    Best,

    Thanks for mentioning đŸ˜‰

    Small note, Keysmith is not a general purpose password manager like KeepassXC, it only handles HOTP and TOTP tokens for multi factor authentication.

    Thanks for clarification!

    Ah, I have mistaken Keysmith with Keychain:

    https://carlschwan.eu/2024/07/01/initial-work-on-keychain/

    So Keychain is the KeepassXC based password manager while Keysmith is
    similar to Aegis Authenticator, AndOTP or FreeOTP+ on Android.

    Nice so we can do second factor on laptop. Of course if the laptop is the
    one authenticating, it may still be wise to have the second factor on
    another device. Although the security of many Android devices… well let's not dive into that here. But with PostmarketOS on a smart phone or some
    Linux on a tablet… and I think that is mostly the target audience. Many of those new apps are geared towards use on smaller form factor mobile
    devices, but can be used on a desktop as well.

    Regarding somewhat new apps there is also Arianna. An alternative EPub
    reader to Okular. Aurélien just uploaded a version to experimental that should be installable. The 24.05 version currently in the archive refers
    to qml packages that are not available.

    Also kde-inotify-survey warns of excessive use of INotify so one knows
    when to raise the limit or do something else about it.

    Thank you,
