#signing — Public Fediverse posts

The #LG [1] privacy / security debacle - where merely plugging in one of their monitors *silently* installs a spyware/adware application with system-level #privileges [2] and sets it to auto-start, also silently - reminded me of a question I've wondered about.

The last version of Windows that I ran was Win98, so I'm rather out-of-date on my knowledge. It now supports #cryptographically signing programs [3] so you can #authenticate the source. I gather things distributed by the Microsoft store are all signed this way, but also #software distributed independently by larger companies.

So my questions are:

a) are programs from different companies signed with those companies' keys? Or is everything signed with a #Microsoft key so you can't differentiate between sources?

b) can users blocklist particular #signing #keys? Or are these solely for Microsoft's benefit and only they can decide what keys are acceptable?

Because if I was a #Windows user now, I would definitely want to #blocklist LG's signing key.

[1] Am I the only one who used to sell their stuff when they used their full name?

[2] Only with #Windows, natch.

[3] I'll start calling programs "apps" when I'm dead, thanks.

One of the many reasons you should sign your git commits:

https://github.com/OpenSourceMalware/PolinRider

in short: infects your code via a malicious VS Code extension or NPM package, which in the end overwrites your last commit. You might never notice. But what it cannot do: sign that commit (as it does not have your key phrase). So a sudden unsigned commit gives you a chance to spot that "something weird happened".

NBL｜金牛季後賽前簽入所羅門補強內線 厄特爾二世離隊

香港金牛籃球隊今日公布外援調整，正式簽入前CBA內線球員所羅門（Richard Solomon），同時宣布美國籍後衛厄特爾二世（Michael Ertel II）在雙方協議下離隊。是次人腳變動旨在強化內線深度，為季後賽作最後部署。

現年33歲的所羅門司職大前鋒及中鋒，身高2.08米，具備超強對抗性。他早年曾參與奧克拉荷馬雷霆（NBA）季前賽，其後長期於歐洲聯賽發展，先後效力法國、土耳其及俄羅斯多支球會，累積豐富職業經驗。亞洲賽場方面，他曾於日本B.League征戰兩季，先後效力東京電擊及富山松雞，其中在2020至2021年球季場均攻入17.1分，展現穩定得分與內線統治力。

2024年，所羅門轉戰CBA加盟北京北汽（北京首鋼），常規賽場均貢獻8.8分及8.4個籃板，並於總決賽系列賽五戰均有上陣，最終協助球隊取得亞軍。他今季轉投南京天之藍（南京同曦），於常規賽23場比賽中錄得場均7.6分及7.5個籃板，持續在內線提供穩定輸出。

所羅門擁有出...

We recently learned that we can sign releases with #SSH keys. We've been using #PGP signatures forever, but are curious if people would rather use SSH keys for signing source releases. So please let us now which ones you'd use.

What would my options be to replace pgp/gpg. My use case is as follow :
- I sign 90% of the emails I send
- I encrypt one file that I edit using vim and the gpg plugin
