@thunderbird should at least open a path to allow us to replace their OpenPGP implementation, RNP, with other implementations, like @sequoiapgp's Octopus.
Integrating #Enigmail was not seamless. Functionality was lost, including #GnuPG's keyring and trust model. (e.g.: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1732074)
They may have their rationale on which they made these decisions, but the negative effect on the usability of Thunderbird+PGP for those who have them for many years is real.

Wollte grad (nach Jahren) mal wieder ne #PGP-Verschlüsselung für meine Mails einrichten. Nun hat #Thunderbird ja inzwischen #GNUPG und das sieht ja auch alles ganz toll aus, aber was mich als alter #Enigmail User irritiert, ist das Ding mit der (fehlenden) Passphrase. Also wie ich das verstehe wird die ja (für alle Mailaccounts!?) ersetzt durch das Thunderbird-Masterpasswort. So weit so naja... Aber würde die Mails auch weiterhin gern auffm Handy abrufen (#K9). Da gibts dann n Addon, soweit hab ich das schon gesehen, aber ist dann das Masterpasswort auch da meine Passphrase? Danke schonmal für Tipps...

@GnuPG @todd_a_jacobs Using #LTFS to store #encrypteddata outside of hyper scaler environments without the dedicated #KMS components expensive tape libraries use to enable #LTO9 drives' built-in, hardware #AES256GCM support is an area the institute is evaluating, and thinking about how #GPG might fit in has been a facet of our research process.
All recent generations of #LTO drives support strong, on-the-fly, hardware-accelerated encryption on the drives themselves. Sadly, it's essentially useless in the standalone drives sold to individuals, the #SOHO market, or to other non-enterprise customers because of the high cost of the tape library hardware required to activate it.
In some ways, the situation is much like the early Intel 386 computers that shipped with missing or disabled math coprocessors even when it stopped being a cost issue. In part, that was a strategic market segmentation decision, and the institute currently believes the lack of accessible LTFS encryption for all encryption-capable drives is no different.
Even though #GnuPG is usually thought of as primarily an email tool, it's actually an important "Swiss Army knife" for a variety of #infosec use cases. It's also on a tragically short list of #OpenPGP and telatrd #cryptography tools that remains fully #opensource.
We're putting this topic on our agenda for further exploration and discussion. Meanwhile, these community conversations and the viewpoints of respected tool developers is an invaluable resource to everyone.

I think, it's really good, that @thunderbird integrated GnuPG, but it's really annoying, that I still have to manually disable encryption, when I write an e-mail to a contact, who doesn't use GPG (which are unfortunately still quite a few).
In that regard #Enigmail worked a lot better. -
Hello community of #Thunderbird #OpenPGP users. I'd like to know if some of you are still stuck at Thunderbird version 68 and the old #Enigmail Add-on. Is there any missing functionality in Thunderbird 115 that is still preventing you from migrating? #PGP #GPG #GnuPG @thunderbird

Dear #Enigmail, what the f*** are you testing?
I need to manually resize the window in order to recognize that there are actual buttons you ask me to interactive with ...

Enfin #gnupg intégré à #thunderbird 78
Plus besoin donc de l'extension #enigmail 😊 -
@infosechandbook But about privacy laws in Germany, what do you think about the said at https://lists.gt.net/gnupg/users/74686 ?
