<p>Here is a shameless plug for my project. It is a esp32 based programmable keyboard (HID) with a web interface and api. It can be directly flashed to the m5stack atom or m5stack cardputer.<p>One stand-out feature it has is an implementation of the Keepass KDBX database standard. The database can be stored on FRAM or SD card and can be unlocked via the web interface. The key is stored in volatile memory.
There is a DSL scripting language that can be used to run macros, programs, or functions. With the database unlocked you can send credentials via key-value DSL strings such as the following example:
{credstore  myusername}
{TAB}
{credstore mypassword}
{ENTER}<p><a href="https://github.com/akoerner/kprox" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/akoerner/kprox</a></p>

<a href="https://github.com/akoerner/kprox/raw/master/img/combat_loss.png" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/akoerner/kprox/raw/master/img/combat_loss...</a><p>KProx is a HID (mouse + keyboard) automation firmware targeted at the M5Stack Cardputer, Cardputer Adv, and the M5Stack Atom S3. It features a DSL similar to DuckScript, an API with a web interface, and KeePass KDBX 3.1 database support for an onboard credential store via the nvme or SD card. Additionally, it includes a plethora of HID "apps," such as psCombatProx: kill processes by fighting tanks... and your computer.<p>Firmware can be installed with the M5Burner by searching "KProx"</p>

<p>It failed to find a reference: <a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA00174720.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA001747...</a><p>Question: Does Blues Traveler appear in the Epstein files?
               Blues Traveler<p>Answer:
Yes, "Blues Traveler" appears in the files, but not in a way that directly connects the band to Jeffrey Epstein or his activities.<p>Key Findings:<p>XM Radio Mention: An email from "XM Signal" dated July 8, 2008, mentions a "Starbucks XM Café Live with Blues Traveler" event. [1] This appears to be a reference to a broadcast or performance by the band on XM Satellite Radio.
Analysis:<p>The searches did not reveal any direct involvement of the band "Blues Traveler" with Jeffrey Epstein or his associates. The mention found is in the context of a radio event.<p>It's important to distinguish this from the multiple mentions of "Blue Water Café," which is a restaurant and appears in several travel itineraries. [2][3][4]<p>Further Investigation:<p>If you have a specific reason to believe "Blues Traveler" might be connected, please provide more details. For instance, was there a particular event, person, or date you had in mind? This could help refine the search.</p>
