Use a GPG smartcard with Thunderbird. Part 1: setup GnuPG

https://stafwag.github.io/blog/blog/2024/04/21/use-a-gpg-smartcard-with-thunderbird-part_1-setup-gpg/

I moved to a Thinkpad w541 with coreboot so I needed to set up my email encryption on Thunderbird again.

It took me more time to reconfigure it again - as usual - so I decided to take notes this time and create a blog post about it. As this might be useful for somebody else … or me in the future :-)

@stafwag This is quite cool, thank you. Now I wonder if t here is shops that sell this in Canada. I really want to give this a try.

@adamsdesk For the fsf europe fellowship card I don't know. I got my card 8 year ago from floss-shop.de. (I live in Europe/Belgium BTW ) You can check with them if they ship to Canada.

But the setup should work with any GPG compatible smartcard. I'm also looking at Not sure if nitrokey is available on your side of the ocean 🙂

is also a option:

But I lean more to nitrokey as I have the impression that they're more active in the opensource community

@stafwag Thanks for the info. I'll do some more research and see.
