Would you consider using an alternative keyboard layout such as Dvorak or Colemac?

Jump

  • Canokey, there are two way:

    1. You can buy one Canokey Pigeon, which is close source, but with protection of security chip.

  • I prefer use Yubikey/Canokey instead of TPM. SSH key may be used outside or in other environment (such as my laptop, Android or iPad). And TPM support less algorithms than Yubikey, especially Ed25519 and RSA4096.
