Generate a key using the node REPL

Needs JOSE npm lib. Easiest thing to do is just install it in a temp working dir.

cd /tmp
npm i jose
node

Inside the REPL:

const jose = await import('jose')
const crypto = await import('crypto')
const key = crypto.generateKeyPairSync('ed25519')
await jose.exportJWK(key.publicKey)
await jose.exportJWK(key.privateKey)
