Fixing Git Clone SSH Agent on Windows Last days I run Git on Windows for a quick upload of something, tried cloning the private repo over SSH, and it bombed out with a permission denied error. Even though a plain SSH test to GitHub worked fine. As said, normally I work on my Linux Laptop but during Holidays I –had– to build some csharp stuff in windows. So old pains came back :) ...
My Setup and the Problem I use Linux on my main work laptop, where remote access is effortless: I can SSH with Kitty’s remote edit kitten or mount remotes via KDE Dolphin. But at home, my desktop runs Windows 11 for gaming (thanks to stupid anti-cheat restrictions). I normally just game on the desktop; but sometimes I have to do some work from the Desktop, already at the desk and need to quickly edit stuff remote. Most time I just used scp. But remembering in the past as win user, I used WinSCP for remote file editing. Found out quicky it natively refuses to connect using my SSH key from the already running agent in 1password. ...
Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. If you look at the Windows command prompt from a network perspective, Linux has better “weapons” to offer. Often it’s the little things that frustrate me with Windows from time to time. For example, the DHCP client. In Linux it is sufficient to enter dhcpc -v to get a detailed logged output of what happened in the background with the DHCP. In Windows you can only rely on the presented Information, define some Log Actions or just wisely nod your head. ...
Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Several times already I had the Problem that in Multimonitor mode of my laptop I undock it and some windows “stuck” to the old now non existing 2nd Screen. There are some things you can do to move it back but sometimes everything fails. So in first I made a small Autohotkey Script to move all Windows, but I wanted it done right and so I just put a small C# tool together. Opensource, feel free to use. Here a small Video how it works with my 2nd Screen attached: ...

Hey, just a heads-up that this content is based on an automatically imported version from our old CMS. If the formatting isn’t perfect, I’m sorry about that. Just as a note to myself or anybody who is interested in it, feel free to use. Often you come across hrefs linking to ssh://user@whatever:22. By default, Windows does not know what to do with this protocol. If you go to select the standard protocol handler for it, you only get redirected to the MS Store, offering you some expensive terminal apps you actually do not want to use. I, for myself, have been using the Pro version of MobaXterm for many years. MobaXterm has shell integration, but I never got it running right or being selectable as a protocol handler, unfortunately. But this is why I made this little method to actually make it working. ...

This is an updated posting from my older German Article. **I don’t want to give a rating of the Subsystem for Linux; for some, it is very useful; others may not be so happy about it, but let’s get straight to the point. The most pain I had was having my private key in the Subsystem and needing to re-authenticate every time by entering the key. I’m used to using the Keepass integrated (plugin) Agent, and that’s why my key has a password that’s too long to type. ...

About LegendsHD I started to create this right after my succesful Skyrim HD mod but put it on hold several month. How does it work? The Basics It’s no magic - well a part of it is :) Thanks to Boris, the creator of the enbseries injectors. Maybe you already know them from other famous games like The Elder Scrolls, Fallout and of course GTA. Most games today use DirectX + Shaders to create their awesome graphics. With an injector, you can override some of the default settings and even more: Inject own shader codes to replace old ones. By this method, it’s possible to enhance a game’s optics in many ways. Sure, you are limited to tweaks and shader tuning, but using this way allows to modify the look without modifying any actual game files. What of course is really important in my eyes in a competitive game like League of Legends. ...
