Summary
Fiber has a little better latency (and more consistent) than VDSL (14 vs 12 ms, but jitter is more consistent). A good VDSL line is still better (latency and -consistency-wise) than DOCSIS Cable Internet (latency is very high during upload).
Bandwith is not comparable due to different tariffs, but each maxes out the promised Down/Upstreams.
Efficiently saving an openssh private key on paper
The key is generated from a live ISO, is never stored on disk, and I don't use a printer, so the private key never needs to pass through another system. The downside is that, whenever I need to use it, I have to type the key manually and avoid making any transcription errors. I know this is inconvenient, but I only use the key occasionally for SSH certificate signing, so I consider the trade-off worthwhile.
I came up with two tricks to make the manual transcription less error-prone:
Use a checksum after every line. This makes it possible to detect and correct a typo immediately, rather than discovering it only after the entire key has been entered.
Use two colors when writing the key on paper. By visually distinguishing certain characters, it becomes easier to tell apart characters that are otherwise easy to confuse. ( This syntax distinguished y and g and q which are easily confused when written by hand)
