I get that you don't exactly open a new project every day, but like at least 3 of these could be eliminated pretty easily?

And when using remote development, that "reloads window" step is establishing a new network tunnel and potentially requires a gnubby touch.

Things that happened after I turned 38 that I never imagined would happen in my life(!):

- choke on my own saliva
- coughing and (unexpected) farting at the same time
- became gnubby/grumpy
- every body part aches
- got realize I am getting old

There's less time everyday, people(!) 😅😅😅

From an extremely generous, anonymous donor. Of the keys in my lab/museum, the story for this one is probably the best ever -- gonna be telling this one for years!

#yubikey #sre
Photo of a well-loved red YubiKey and a large round sticker. Sticker will be described later. Both are laying on a printed page with the following words: > I added one more item into the package before sending - a red USB-A Gnubby. I didn't include it in the photo because I wasn't sure at first that I wanted to part with it. The red gnubbies were issued only to Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) to use for storing emergency credentials. I was an SRE for [N] years during the [YYYY]s and have fond memories of my time in that role, so it has some sentimental value for me, but I figure a collection like yours is the proper place for it. I also tossed in an SRE sticker to go with it. > The wider context for these red keys is a bit complicated to explain. Every Google office with an SRE contingent has a "panic room" - a designated room that has a dedicated network link that connects directly into the Google production network, with the link itself protected by a safe. It's there as a last resort in the case of catastrophic network failure where the usual Google corporate network is down for some reason. But you need special emergency credentials to use it, and that's what the red key was for. Besides simulated drills I think I only ever used the panic room maybe twice in my entire time as an SRE. It's one of those things you don't need until you really need it. > Enjoy! A Google SRE "panic room" YubiKey, in a distinctive red, at an oblique "hero" angle, laying on a white background. It's a compact, rectangular hardware security key, with a well-worn USB-A connector, a familiar gold contact sensor (a circular, textured gold capacitive button in the center, with a dot and three radiating arced lines), and a circular cutout keyring hole at the top with patterns of wear around it (oxidation from a keyring, etc.) A circular sticker featuring a dark blue background and a thin white border. Centered is a stylized, yellow creature combining features of a dragon and a seahorse. It stands upright with a segmented body, a horned head, and a long, curled tail. Expanding from its back are sharp, flame-like yellow wings. Layered behind the creature's neck and over the wings are large, bold, red stylized letters that read SFTE in a sharp, aggressive font. Across the bottom, the creature's claws grip a grey, flowing scroll. The scroll contains the Latin inscription "Spes consilium non est" in black serif text. This phrase is commonly translated as "Hope is not a plan" or "Hope is not a strategy." The design is characteristic of a military-style unit insignia or a professional emblem for the Society of Flight Test Engineers.

Well, that's something you don't see every day. I'm told these were made some point Google Gnubby development process.

I assume they don't have firmware on them yet, but it might be tricky to find out non-invasively.

Followup SSH sessions don't require the PIN, but do require physical press of the key button.

I missed gnubby at Google, so I constructed my own method of one-touch gnubby or numerical 2fa with memory-stored SSH keys :)

Now that we have an official look for #Angie, I'd love to hear some ideas from the community about where and how we can incorporate them into #Angular!

I have some initial ideas bouncing around but want to know what you all think.
Reference picture of Angie, the Angular mascot. It's a cute lil guy with white gnubby limbs with red gloves and shoes. It's body is just a big head, with a red helmet in the rough shape of a hexagonal shield. It's smile and eyebrows present and calm and friendly demeanor.
