With the sudden realization that #Enigmail has been able to decrypt #email permanently upon reception for the last 3 years, I'm excited about using #PGP #crypto w/ #Enigmail again! But, oh, just in time for me #Mozilla broke Enigmail in #Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909000 #ugh -

Holy crap! "Since version 1.8, Enigmail can decrypt mails permanently." https://enigmail.net/index.php/en/faq-en?view=topic&id=15 #enigmail #pgp #crypto -

I actually do really want to secure my data in transit; but it's frustrating to the point of deterrence that the tools for secure transit seem to frequently create more problems for data at rest. #Enigmail maintained similar barriers to PGP use for years, for example: http://status.hackerposse.com/conversation/44450#notice-52884 #crypto -

Met a bunch of awesome people at #lp2016. And few... #interesting ones. Like the one who refused to sign my #PGP key because she thought I was a government spook... because I claimed to be from #NH but "didn't know that *every* FreeStater is (obviously) #crypto savvy enough to sign PGP keys... since most of them use #bitcoin as their only currency... so they can remain anonymous". #wtf #notevenwrong -

@boneidol, we need to get past the idea that !crypto's too complicated & too slow for everyday use. It works better than the alternatives. -

@lnxw48, if you can verify via #crypto the #goodguy #identity of the file-provider and/or file, address doesn't really matter. That's what makes using mirrors of signed packages viable. -

#git practically advocates abbreviating SHA-1 !crypto hashes to 7 hexits; #redmine habitually abbreviates them to 8; somehow this never collides with the notion that "the unlikelihood of hash-collisions is astronomical because it's SHA-1". -

For every person who understands all of the implications of abbreviating a !crypto #hash, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a million who can't imagine there's any problem. -

I'm not convinced that PGP couldn't be used to implement `just end-to-end secure' e-mail if the !crypto community could actually value that.
