#2Better not have KeePass open while this is open. Accidental leaks are just too risky that way.
Re: Piknik – Copy and paste anything over the network
#3Instead of
local: "rsync content me@target-server"
remote: "cat content"
we now have different much better commands and need a third server
awesome

I wrote a similar piece of software a few years ago. I solved that by having a config flag for each clipboard agent to disable broadcasting of their clipboard changes and only listening for changes. Then I simply activated that on the box that holds keys/passwords etc.

#6I love such generalized titles. My mathematically modified brain automatically searches for an example when you cannot copy something, then the whole statement is not true. My dog agrees, he cannot be copied over the network :)

Why yes it is, in the case where one or both of the endpoints are behind a firewall or are plagued by NAT.

#8Very useful!
Also nice that I see this posted soon after CloudFlare Access[0] was launched; which can add good security for Piknik's use case.

Is there a program out there that will expose a Unix socket as a named pipe or something that can be read to and written from like a file? That way you could take care of this with SSH tunneling.
edit: I meant "port", not "socket"! But apparently this is basically what netcat does by default.

#10It's nice that this is open-source, but if it involves an intermediate server anyway, PushBullet also does a great job, and on various platforms: https://www.pushbullet.com/ (No affiliation)
