lnxw48a1: https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/home/news [www enigmail net] Beginning with #Thunderbird 78, #OpenPGP support will be built into Thunderbird and #Enigmail will no longer work. The set of people with whom I communicate with #GPG is very small and growing smaller, so this will not have much of an impact.

rozzin: It may also matter that when I say "#PGP", I really mean "#GnuPG" because AFAICT GPG is the PGP that everyone actually uses these days. There are "trust signatures" in #OpenPGP, and GPG can make and use them..., but they're a whole different thing from "trust", "signatures", and #WoT. And I don't think I've ever actually seen one in the wild. Some other PGP implementation might use tsigs by default? But I doubt it?

mmn: @mcnalu Always choose a VPS provider you can communicate with using #OpenPGP and encrypted !XMPP! ;) (so far I know only of @mikael at https://tranquillity.se/ publicly communicating that possibility).

mmn: @arunisaac OpenPGP doesn't intend to hide the social graph, it focuses on other things. There is no one-crypto-to-rule-them-all, so you'll have to choose which properties you want from crypto technology. OpenPGP is extremely good to make sure that data and identities is _verifiable_. Furthermore it allows encryption, in order to store secrets between people who trust e https://social.umeahackerspace.se/notice/600818

mmn: I have recently purchased an SCR331 smartcard reader that was verified to work with GNU/Linux and #OpenPGP. Today I plugged in my #FSFE fellowship card, transferred my signing and encryption key. This is like magically easy. Perfect integration with #GnuPG, Icedove/Thunderbird and !gnomedesktop. How can anyone _not_ use encryption in this day and age? I'm amazed at how https://social.umeahackerspace.se/notice/598483

mmn: @pettter Are there any other crypto tools/algorithms out there that can even form a web of trust? If anyone wants to use decentralised trust, I highly doubt any user experience will be better than with modern #OpenPGP tools. So while it may be hard to use, at least it works. And thus is far from useless. At least if you prefer to avoid centralised control over secure communication.

mmn: @verius In the case of a malicious server publishing false aliases neither of the other profiles you use (previously stored with remote nodes as verified/recognized as "yours") would acknowledge the newly added alias and thus the trustworthiness is low and it does not get (at least automatically) accepted.
