Nice! With a denser 256 bit card you could store an entire age secret key, and so encrypt any amount of data directly to metal key asymmetrically, only needing the public key at encryption time (keeps metal key safer). Then thresholding can

Signal is licensed under GNU AGPLv3 - think there will be any action against the company for license violations? I suppose it's the least of their liabilities, but just wondering.

Thanks for the tip! I've had the Device approval setting on, and wished there were more robust lock features, but not enough to want to run my own coordinator. So Tailnet lock seems like a good security upgrade.

Are there any private note solutions that can encrypt all markdown files against your own Yubikey-generated privkey? You can do this with SOPS and age encryption and it's amazing, but can't view/edit notes outside a terminal

Any US banks support TOTP or Yubikey/U2F requirements for login yet? I've seen a couple consumer fintech products that support TOTP, still not many, and no banks I'm aware of.

Can anyone explain a bit more about how this actually works in context here? Do you hand your full PII "private key" or equivalent, to Google, or does any of the proving happen on your own device? Then proofs are constructed to 3r
