A quotation by Martial

You’re rich and young, as all confess,

And none denies your loveliness;

But when we hear your boastful tongue

You’re neither pretty, rich, nor young.

[Bella es, novimus, et puella, verum est,

Et dives, quis enim potest negare?

Sed cum te nimium, Fabulla, laudas,

Nec dives neque bella nec puella es.]

Martial (AD c.39-c.103) Spanish Roman poet, satirist, epigrammatist [Marcus Valerius Martialis]

Epigrams [Epigrammata], Book 1, epigram 64 (1.64) [tr. Pott & Wright (1921), “The Boaster”]

If you need to generate wireguard keys, and those base64 strings are ugly, this repo at github can help you with that. Vanity keys ftw.

this tool lets you generate a few million keypairs and print out just the ones with a given string in the first few (10) letters, using a case-insensitive search to increase your chances.
