Well, here's a thing I didn't know about before that might be useful to you – a tool to extract the dated from the *.crd files.
Haha, SimTower for classic MacOS. I've always wanted to put together a clone of it.
My dad insisted on using CARDFILE.EXE from Windows 3.1 up until he switched to a MacBook in 2010 or so. I still have the data file somewhere.
Gotta admit tho, it was one of the most useful applications that came with a PC back in the late 80s/early 90s. My folks put everything into that thing. They probably had about 350 cards!
It's weird how the markdown formatting bits (such as ### in a heading) appear in previews of posts. I don't have time to research it right now, but I'm guessing that's a known issue waiting to be fixed by someone.
Edit: Trying to add a screenshot to show what I'm talking about, but uploading images doesn't seem to be working. I tried 2 clients and the mobile web.
Welcome to /c/Termux on programming.dev
Hi everyone! This is a community for Termux app for Android -- a terminal emulator and Linux environment you can use anywhere you take your phone, with no rooting required.
Note: This Lemmy community, hosted by programming.dev, is unaffiliated with the similarly-named community on Reddit or the developers of Termux.
I hope that this community can foster a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who's interested to learn about and discuss the countless ways Termux can be used to do cool things on your Android phone.
About Termux
Aside from the high level of utility that seasoned users of Linux and other Unix-like systems will appreciate, using Termux is an incredibly easy and convenient way for those unfamiliar with Linux to get up to speed with using the command line, whenever and wherever the opportunity presents itself. While there are some important differences between Termux and Linux, almost everything you can be learn through Termux will carry over to using a terminal emulator on a computer. It uses the same free and open source software found in any Linux distribution, built and packaged to work in regular Android environment on a smartphone.

Installing Termux
It's important to note that the Google Play store version of Termux is deprecated, and should not be used. Install Termux from a source such as F-Droid, or download it from the Releases page of the official Termux Github repository.

Termux requires at least Android 7. It's best to have a good deal more free space on the device than the minimum of 500 megabytes, as the amount Termux will need depends on the software packages you install into it. Don't worry about breaking anything -- Termux is self-contained, like other user-installed apps, and the packages you install and commands you run won't affect anything else on your device.
Going Forward...
This post is intended to be a quick placeholder to outline some basic information about this new Lemmy community and the Termux app itself. As the community (hopefully) grows, this sort of information will migrate over to the sidebar, along with guidelines and expectations like those applicable to most other communities in the Fediverse, which are meant to encourage civil and inclusive discussion on the internet. Until then, I'll edit this post with updated information as needed, so be sure to check in now and then to see if what's new.

Perhaps a bit more technically involved for some tastes, but here's my setup –
I've used pass for the past few years, a command line based password manager that stores GPG encrypted passwords as text files in a git repository. I use it for more than passwords, so it's more like a passwords-and-other-sensitive-secrets manager.
There's no defined structure, that is left to the user to figure out, but the basic command to get a password and copy it to the clipboard simply grabs the first line of the file, which is where I insert the actual password. There's other info in there too, usernames, challenge questions, etc.
I push the git repo to gitlab, transported via ssh. On my phone, I use a client for Android called Android Password Store, which pulls from the git repository and has an easy interface for adding, editing, and accessing the passwords.
It costs nothing, stays backed up, and works pretty well for my purposes. Despite that, I was looking around to see if KeePass would be a better solution for me in any way, and found this cool thing, passhole, which provides KeePass with a CLI interface similar to that of pass, which is a big part of my attraction to it.
