  1. So I created a simple guide to use GNUPG. Take a look and feel free to provide any feedback (for improvements or any reviews)

    Also; if think more of such simplistic guides should exist then please support me via:

  2. Einordnung: Positiv ist die transparente Reaktion, beruhigend ist der Vorfall trotzdem nicht. Signaturschlüssel sind Teil der Vertrauenskette einer Softwareverteilung. Solche Geheimnisse gehören nicht in Repositories - auch nicht in private. Technische Schutzmechanismen müssen menschliche Fehler hier auffangen.

  4. Mozilla rotiert kurzfristig seinen GPG-Signaturschlüssel für Firefox und Thunderbird. Der vorherige Unterschlüssel war unverschlüsselt in einem privaten GitHub-Repository gelandet. Mozilla sieht laut Audit-Logs keinen unbefugten Zugriff, hat den Schlüssel aber vorsorglich widerrufen.

  6. Einen modernen OpenPGP-Schlüssel bauen: Ed25519, drei Unterschlüssel und die Härtung, die ihn geschwächt hat

    Ein Schlüssel kann modern sein und trotzdem falsch konfiguriert. Teil A ist das Rezept: Ed25519, zertifizierender Hauptschlüssel, drei Unterschlüssel, gpg.conf, vier Exportformate, sieben Kanäle. Teil B erklärt, warum eine einzige Härtungszeile mir AES-128 statt AES-256 eingebrockt hat.

  8. Keyoxide: den OpenPGP-Schlüssel an Online-Identitäten binden, vier grüne Haken und ein rotes Kreuz

    Ein neuer GPG-Schlüssel wirft die Frage auf, woher irgendwer wissen soll, dass er mir gehört. Das Web of Trust ist tot, Identity Claims füllen die Lücke: Claims in der Selbstsignatur, Proofs an DNS, GitHub und Matrix. Mit vier grünen Haken, einem roten Kreuz und einem CORS-Bug.

  10. Been ruminating on this for a while and finally sat down and coded it. For some pages on my site there's now a footer that allows you to download the Markdown file and a #GPG signature of that page.

    Remembering the words of an old nerd when I started signing all my emails with #PGP on a mailing list: "Why would you _voluntarily_ give up plausible deniability on everything you write?" it won't be every page.

    But from time to time it may come in useful.

    "As a result, mass scanning is now permitted again until 2028."

    "A symbolic exemption was adopted for encrypted communications"

    "The fact that Chat Control is moving forward against the will of the majority of voting MEPs is a farce and damages democracy."

    "Blanket chat control is just as unacceptable as indiscriminately opening everyone’s physical mail."

  16. #GPG ... the oldest and best tool to communicate with #Privacy. You already learn many commands from Linux and other OS and software. You keep ignoring to learn GPG. :D LoL

  19. OpenPGP: PGP meets AusweisApp und ERV

    Governikus bietet einen Beglaubigungsdienst an. Damit kann man mit Hilfe seines neuen Personalausweises und der AusweisApp seinen öffentlichen PGP-Schlüssel signieren lassen. Wie es geht und was es bringt, erfährst Du in diesem (doch recht langen) Artikel. Außerdem spreche ich einen der größten und frustrierendsten Schmerzpunkte der digitalen Rechts- und Verwaltungswelt in Deutschland an. Zuerst zum offenbar gut gemeinten Service von Governikus. Das Angebot von Governikus ist […]

  21. If you include your #PGP key in your #Mastodon bio (or any social platform really), why? The only use case I have at the moment is for signing my git commits, but I'm curious if I'm missing out on something more.

    Also just discovered @keyoxide which could be anorher use. #keyoxide

  23. Do you sign your git commits?

    If so, do you use GPG or SSH? And why did you pick one over the other (if you actively chose vs using GPG from before SSH was an option)?

  25. @gerowen it’s not available in Arch, because #gpg decided to roll their own kyber algorithms instead of using the ones that the rest of the #openpgp community standardised on. They’re just as secure, but different enough to not interoperate with everyone else. Most linux distros are refusing to ship them as a result. See e.g. wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?t

  27. Using a VM to poke around with updated #GPG from their repos and it offers hybrid post #quantum key types (ECC/Kyber) now with the following options for Kyber:

    (1) Kyber 768 (bp256) *default*
    (2) Kyber 1024 (bp384)
    (3) Kyber 768 (X25519)
    (4) Kyber 1024 (X448)

    It's probably already available in Arch and its derivatives, but it probably won't hit the longer lived distributions like Debian or Fedora for a little while yet, but it's a thing now.

  33. I have been dragged into the rabbit hole of GnuPG/LibrePGP VS Sequoia/OpenPGP and, boy it is ugly. Yeah, yeah, I know, PGP is bad, but of all the ugly things that could have happened to the FOSS crypto space, this is really unwelcome. I wish people would just sit at a table and talk.

  35. I wonder if it would benefit some social networks to integrate a PGP/GPG style "trust" (phildev.net/pgp/gpgtrust.html) into user accounts.

    Accounts could 'trust' other accounts with varying levels so as to vet them for others. Maybe use QR codes for in-person 'signing'?

    This may be an effective way to reduce unwanted AI/bot activity since the approach is toward verifying "I know and trust this person" rather than how some karma or reputation systems work.

  37. Getting a verified lock icon for my signed Git commits took longer than expected! It’s all set up now in the end via SSH keys (and not GPG keys) on Codeberg. Email matching was the main culprit.

    It's my first time setting up signing commits and I tested it on my new Gist repo!

    <codeberg.org/burgeonlab/gists>

    Hope to add more to it in the near future.

  38. The Math-Verbal Divide: Unequal Returns to Cognitive Skills in Education and Work d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izad
    "Verbal skills strongly predict educational attainmen while #mathematics skills generate substantially larger earnings returns.
    … This divergence operates partly through field-of-study choice: individuals with stronger verbal skills disproportionately select into fields with higher graduation rates but lower earnings returns, while those with stronger mathematics skills enter #STEM and other high-paying majors.
    … Gender differences in skills explain the female advantage in college attendance and part of the STEM gap but have little effect on the gender earnings gap due to offsetting effects across these pathways: women's verbal advantage facilitates educational access but also steers them toward lower-return fields."
