Dangerous toys: Anything to ed25519 (SSH Keys)
another dangerous toy I particularly enjoy, vanity keys:
https://github.com/warner/wireguard-vanity-address
Although not as dangerous since the entropy of the rng is (mostly?) still there. If I'm doing the handwaving right, it's base64 where each char contains 6 bits, so you reduce the effective keysize to 256-6*$num_chars -- cryptographers tell me how wrong I am :)

Wireguard | Pre-shared key | What's required?
The keys are generated in a mathematically related pair, so you can't just create one from scratch. There are tools that will generate lots of random keys and select for a predetermined string in them, like this: https://github.com/warner/wireguard-vanity-address
- wg-manage: Central management of Wireguard configs
- wireguard + resolved + networkd: vpn server, ipv4 forwarding
What are some alternatives?
