Plan/Description
[ROOM CHANGE!]
Printers are untrustworthy, but cryptography is goated. I'll explain how you can use <a href="https://age-encryption.org/v1">age</a> to make and use cheap offline backup keys for when you inevitably lose your YubiKey. The concepts apply to more than just age, but age is a modern, extensible tool with a user interface that is harder to misuse. It also has a slick feature that makes it particularly suited for this purpose.
