Hey: if you're in the tiny group of folks who generated a GPG key pair a few years back on an airgapped system, copied it to a paper backup, generated & signed subkeys that you migrated to machines you use daily: today is a great day to not just check on the continued existence of your paper backup but also to test restoring it to your airgapped machine and making sure it works.
There's no quiet story in the background of infosec masto prompting this reminder. It's just a good day for it.
