Disappointed to receive this message from team:

If you have previously set up a , you can still view it under settings on Facebook (or in the Accounts Center under Password and security) until December 5.

I haven't been very good with posting/writing about what I'm working on, so here's a 1,200+ word post about how we replaced[1] the GPG code backed by a library aptly called "pretty-bad-protocol" with a Rust library named after trees, Sequoia-OpenPGP.

This is the first written-here Rust code that will be shipped by SecureDrop \o/

[1] okay technically we didn't replace p-b-p entirely, but largely sidelined it

SecureDrop is migrating its PGP backend from GnuPG (@GnuPG) to Sequoia (@sequoiapgp).

Learn why and how we stopped shelling out and started shipping Rust code instead:

Does anyone know if there is any sort of plugin you can enable for mastodon that will attempt to automatically verify signed fediverse posts?

Or if not something right in mastodon server. . . maybe a browser plugin that runs locally? That might even be more secure.

Yey, a milestone!

I signed 2000 emails and encrypted about half of it with my smartcard 😃​

littlealex,

@dostalcody I am also using s/mime, but mostly work related. PGP is more for personal use, but I am having some customers using it, too. The few people using s/mime privately have their cert from Volksverschlüsselung. I am using it, too.

The big advantage of s/mime is the better support. It is in more or less all email clients, PGP often needs a plugin. The security of s/mime is reasonable, so if you are having trouble using or give a try.

Anyone out there with a love for / want to take a look at my website where I explain my PGP keys and see if you can think of anything else useful to add?

Bonus points if everyone has any suggestions of stuff to add that isnt pgp specific as well.

@echo_pbreyer Leider verhallt dieser Ruf nach und dem Schutz der immer öfter ungehört. Ich praktiziere seit nunmehr 25 Jahren die Verschlüsselung mittels , muss aber von Jahr zu Jahr immer mehr feststellen, dass Gesprächspartner kein Interesse mehr daran haben. Neben diesem bescheuerten „ich habe nichts zu verbergen“ kommt immer öfter die selbst konstruierte Furcht, sich durch Verschlüsselung „zur Zielscheibe von Untersuchungen und Repressalien“ zu machen.

How do I manage and update my PGP key? I started with Keybase years ago, but not particularly interested in them anymore. I have no idea how they were managing it, but the current key expires in 2024. Is there some way I renew it? Do I create a new one? What happens to things signed with the old one? All I want is for my GitHub commit signatures to continue to remain valid. Is there any simple guide for this?

Met dit voorstel worden telefoons met echte operating systems in een klap niet meer een ‘nice to have’ maar noodzaak om vertrouwelijke communicatie mogelijk te maken.

Het zou een enorme impuls geven aan servers en met gecrypte mail.

It's Friday the 13th, but do you know what's really scary? The thought of someone (or perhaps countless someones) reading your emails. If this thought scares you, too, then you might be interested in reading our Email Self-Defense Guide. https://u.fsf.org/10r Inform yourself, protect yourself.

I've been playing with for a while, and although it wasn't the biggest task on my plate, I spent quite some time figuring out how to get and agent forwarding working.

If I work on /etc/nixos/configuration.nix, I want to commit/push to every now and then, and I just HAVE to sign those commits, I just have to.

And no, I'm not copying my private keys to any machine, they live only on my 2 workstations. So I'll have to do forwarding:

"Urban forest restoration by trial and error is costly, and resulting failures are both discouraging to practitioners and condemning of future funding approval. Instead, we propose an evidence-based approach developed with partners and practitioners, informed by, ecologists and applied through practice oriented principles."

tetrislife,

@strypey ID should be separate from services. In the age of Git hosting services making an certificate required to interact with them via Git, it should be worth a try getting academics to use keys like some computer practitioners do.

Finally created an account on https://sr.ht/ - what a great experience! No-frills webinterface and support out of the box.
And I loved "if you are unhappy with stripe payment, get in touch". This is really how it should be, I feel heard!
