🚨 New Video: Virtue is Inconvenient - The Nitrokey 3 Review

In my last video, I crowned the YubiKey 5 as the "King of Keys" but it has a fatal flaw. It is proprietary. For those of us who believe in digital sovereignty and the right to audit our own hardware, blind trust is not an option.

Then there is Nitrokey 3A NFC. It promises open-source firmware, transparent design, and code written in memory safe Rust. But does "open" actually mean "good?" Today, we look at whether the moral high ground is worth the inconvenience, why the Android experience might be a deal breaker, and who should actually buy this device.

Part 4 of the Sovereign Authentication series.

> ... Virtue is Inconvenient ...

HECK YES, FAM.

THANK YOU for using that word (virtue) when talking about these things.

It may be "fusty" and Aristotelian, but it's really, really apt.

I think it is important to be honest, doing the right thing is often messy and inconvenient. Tricking people into thinking virtue is easy does them a disservice. It is a deliberate, intentional way of living, and the difficulty is often where the value lies.

Absolutely. "The unexamined life is not worth living."

Heh. ;)
