axytol··on Origin of life theory involving RNA–protein hybrid gets new support
Good points, I like the analogies. I would also not classify prions as life originators, but rather thinking if a similar model would have been employed by an intermmediate non-nucleotide based replicator. So basically chemical folders that would gradually evolve the replicator molecular complexity.

How about prions[0] or something similar? They replicate, and are much simpler and smaller than RNA or DNA based replicators.

axytol··on PiGlass v2: A wearable Pi Zero 2
It's listed under 'Parts and tools' as Mini Bluetooth Keyboard – Black: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3601

Out of stock on Adafruit but seems available on Digi-Key.

OMG this is it, thank you fhars! Ctrl has a dedicated key so this solution works nicely.

As an aside I have the mini bluetooth keyboard. I use it as an external keyboard on my phone to get the on-screen keyboard away when I work on Termux. I found the keyboard both great and bad at the same time.

It's great because the size makes it ultra portable. It's slighly larger than a credit card and about 1 cm thick which means it slides easily in pockets or even a larger wallet.

The biggest disappointment to me was that it misses the 'TAB' key. It's got all the other needed keys for terminal work many you get through some 'Fn' combo, it even includes combinations to quickly type "www." or ".com" but they somehow missed 'TAB' - I still hope I'm wrong and someone magically shares a combination for this key, or maybe they come up with a v2 keyboard.

axytol··on Some interesting malware I found
Some good tips on running untrusted code in VMs. If possible I'm interested to learn why you consider qemu based VMs as more secure than QubesOS? If I get it right QubesOS is Xen based so is it about the hypervisor or something else that favours qemu in your opinion?
