There was a pause for 2-3 years, but I'm surprised to see in Apr this
year a bunch of stuff suddenly got merged and even a few things this
weekend:

   https://github.com/solokeys/solo2/commits/main/

unclear if this is just some small 1-off actions, or a sign that some
interested devs are now trying to continue support for solo2 firmware
to some extent.

I got a pair of the solokey v2's for web 2FA authentication. I'm
still hoping it doesn't get abandoned entirely, though assuming no
big security bug is found, I'm happy  with the featureset offered
right now.

Meanwhile I also now acquired a pair of Nitrokey 3 devices to use
for GPG and SSH key storage. For anyone else looking, I'd suggest
Nitrokey certainly looks like the better long term bet for open
source friendly hardware tokens currently.

With regards,
Daniel
