The orcas have been sinking boats for longer than we thought.

Cheers. While the nice!nano is great it's the additional gpio on the nRF52 I want so I can do 24+ key diode/matrix-less split builds. I might just attempt my own breakout when I get a bit more comfortable with KiCAD.

Squeeze in Li-ion charging management on the next revision and you've got yourself a deal. That said this appears to be open source but closed hardware? I can only find a high level schematic.

My point is how do you get the public key if you can't trust what has been published? You can't trust the gemini site, you'd have to use another protocol, such as HTTPS signed by a CA in order to verify the public key you are being given was actually signed by the author and not someone in the middle rewriting the authors gemini content.

If it's self signed and TOFU you can't be sure there was no proxy in the middle on first use though.

The cynic in me thinks that shot from fasterthanlime is more to do with ThePrimeagen being the new React Andy in the same content creation space as him, scooping up views/subscriptions.

I'm begging you, just use a language that compiles to a single binary. It can self update in place, be easily installed on developer machines and CI pipelines without requiring a whole additional toolchain in every container. Google, Heroku, AWS, Shopify all do and it's an awful developer experience.
