As a developer, it bothers me when someone sends me a large pdf file compared to the number of pages. Recently, I recieved a 12MB scanned document for just one letter-sized page... so I got to googlin, like I usually do, and found ghostscript!

to learn more abot ghostscript (gs): https://www.ghostscript.com/

What we are interested in, is the gs command line tool, which provides many options for manipulating PDF, but we are interested in compressign those large PDF's into small yet legible documents.

Great. I’ll develop a phased implementation plan, edge function code, deployment strategy, user guide, and full documentation for a key rotator using Deno Edge Functions. This will focus on rotating Gemini 2.5 Pro API keys to handle 429 rate limits efficiently.

I’ll return with a clear breakdown of components, including a secure architecture, key storage and cycling logic, usage limits, and guidance for setup and customization.

Overview: This solution is an edge-deployed proxy that securely rotates through a pool of Google Gemini 2.5 Pro API keys to avoid hitting per-key rate limits (e.g. free-tier limit of ~2 requests/minute (Gemini 2.5 Pro via OpenRouter triggers RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED despite API key and usage being within free-tier limits · Issue #2000 · RooVetGit/Roo-Code · GitHub)).

It turns out that MacOS Tahoe can generate and use secure-enclave backed SSH keys! This replaces projects like https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive

There is a shared library /usr/lib/ssh-keychain.dylib that traditionally has been used to add smartcard support to ssh by implementing PKCS11Provider interface. However since recently it also implements SecurityKeyProivder which supports loading keys directly from the secure enclave! SecurityKeyProvider is what is normally used to talk to FIDO2 devices (e.g. libfido2 can be used to talk to your Yubikey). However you can now use it to talk to your Secure Enclave instead!

My findings with a Cooler Master Devastator II are that any external keyboard with the backlight toggled by the scroll-lock key will not have a working toggle on any Wayland compositor, by default. The scroll-lock key is detected as such, but the scroll-lock led is not turned on (and thus neither the backlight).

I found some attempts at solving the problem.
Some of them propose to manually flip the state of the led in /sys/class/leds/input...: this is not great, since the file name is going to change sometimes.
Others proposed add a line somewhere in /usr/share/X11/...: in my case, this did not persist system updates.

Furthermore, in both cases root privileges are required. In the first case you even have to either change the SUID of a shell script or type your password on polkit/whatever each time you want to see your keys 💀
