In the past, I used to have a few PGP keys that were distributed either manually, or through my website.

As of now, all those keys are invalidated as I switched completely to SSH keys a few years ago.

So, if you want to verify commits, or anything signed that I publish, please use the following keys:

ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIHvTe4xw7OAMA9HJtsHAR5BNNrP9X0hXbtASrgKDdnOT
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIDwCQ4IcPyL/0Nz2jNayUrN0B+zsEZ5oa8BepdtAYZLr

Those are respectively the key used by my workstation, and my laptop.

The easiest way to use those, is to add them to your allowed_signers file, for instance:

*@j4.lc namespaces="git" ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIHvTe4xw7OAMA9HJtsHAR5BNNrP9X0hXbtASrgKDdnOT Workstation
*@j4.lc namespaces="git" ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIDwCQ4IcPyL/0Nz2jNayUrN0B+zsEZ5oa8BepdtAYZLr LaptopCode language: CSS (css)

Time for the monthly music blog post.

Sorry for the lack of posts, I’ve been pretty busy with Resonite and in general.

In any case, the recommended albums and artists this month are:

• WALKM4N by A M 4 N 音楽: A random discovery from the discovery tab, a good one nonetheless.
• Echochamber by Hunz: I already mentioned Hunz in a previous music blog post, Echochamber being his latest album. I’ve been listening to that one on loop for the whole month so far.
• Meganeko discography: Meganeko is an artist I only previous had an album from, but listening to their latest tracks, I decided to grab the entire discography. I vividly recommend as it’s great music.
• Machinarium Soundtrack by Tomáš Dvořák: This one was a friend’s recommendation. I really love the music in this one, one day I’ll pick up the game it’s from.

That’s all for this month, stay tuned for next month for the recommendations.

I have pretty exciting news: I have joined forces with Yellow Dog Man Studios to work on Resonite.

See you in the next post.

I recently got myself a Xiegu X6100 HF transceiver. It’s a pocket-size device that packs 10W of power while plugged, and 5W when on battery.

It also includes an SWR meter and a tuner, which is a nice to have when, like me, you only have kinda shitty antennas.

For the device itself, nothing much to say, it just works, and it’s great! I can hear people talk on 14.122MHz somewhat correctly (tho they can’t hear me for now).

Comes in FT8, it’s a digital mode that I wanted to try for some time now, given it works really well with relatively low power. On Fedora, I use the software WSXJT to receive and transmit this mode.

It has a good integration to the Xiegu, which I can just plug into my computer using a USB-C cable.

I’ve already done plenty of contacts using it, it’s pretty amazing how well it works.

If you want to do a contact, I’m usually on the 20m FT8 frequency of 14.074MHz.
