You know it's a good time when step 7 of the plan involves "Do shit over dbus" but step 1 of the plan involves "RE this Windows driver to figure out how secure key exchange with this hardware component works"

Oh you're a full stack engineer how many layers of firmware does your code directly interact with before it pops up a desktop UI

All this because the Yubikey 5C Nano is ugly

@mjg59 the 5Ci is weak… the USB C connector got damaged/crushed within a year just by sitting in my front pocket on my house key ring.The mechanical flaw of the OG Yubikey was the key ring hole that wore down over the years. The new ones have a metallic ring to prevent that.TIL the Yubikeys are like M&Ms each have specific characteristics:Yubikey OG = softYubikey 5Ci = weakYubikey 5 = resilientYubikey 5C nano = ugly😬

@mjg59I could barely pry mine out of a port once inserted. This was an issue with a single USB-C port on a device :/

@mjg59 Are you really a "full stack" engineer if you're not writing all the firmware too?

@mjg59 i was about to ask wait, why? ugly? #yubikey typically makes cute things, and then I looked: yep, ugly.
