Introduction How do you manage your GPG and SSH keys? Saving private keys in cloud storage like Dropbox? Copying and reusing the same key across all PCs? Creating separate keys for each PC but losing track of which key is where? If this sounds like you, that’s weak. You are vulnerable. Figure 1: You should be seriously concerned. Like many of you, I used to struggle with managing GPG keys (needed for pass or sops) and SSH keys (essential for accessing other machines or ordering coffee) as my device count increased: ...

As shown under another article, I’m using uvx to run some mcp servers needed by mcp.el. However, when I first started them on NixOS, I encountered an error. After consulting Gemini for solutions and a root cause analysis, here are my notes. Symptoms and Error Message Checking the *Mcp-Hub/ buffer with mcp-hub-view-log, the following error appeared: [stderr] Could not start dynamically linked executable: /home/bk/.cache/uv/archive-v0/unI5q9QapqXHm9fPXna4G/bin/python [stderr] NixOS cannot run dynamically linked executables intended for generic [stderr] linux environments out of the box.

Introduction The integration of large language models (LLMs) into Emacs has rapidly evolved over the past few years. My first encounter with an LLM inside Emacs was in November 2022, through AI-powered code completion with copilot.el. I still vividly remember how impressed I was at that moment.

After some digging, I found an issue on GitHub about the same problem, which led me to the solution. ...
