Do any of you #Rust developers know what the #EMail Server @stalwartlabs uses for an #OpenPGP solution – Is it #rPGP or even Sequoia--PGP? 🤔

I would like to use @sequoiapgp on the basis of personal arguments and this #RustLang E-Mail #encryption 🔐📧

We're trying to polish sq, Sequoia #PGP's CLI, in preparation for our 1.0 release this summer. One place we could use some help is with the CLI's UX: are the subcommands and options sane, and consistent? Also, we want to provide guidance so that user's don't need to memorize workflows, but are nudged along. See for instance: https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-sq/-/issues/221 If you are interested in helping, please reach out!

My #FOSDEM talk "Sequoia PGP: Rethinking OpenPGP Tooling" including an Ode to Werner (@DD9JN) and #GnuPG (@GnuPG) has been released. I'm happy to receive constructive feedback, both positive and negative! #openpgp https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3297-sequoia-pgp-rethinking-openpgp-tooling/

I cannae draw.

It's always bothered me that I can't draw. I have dyspraxia pretty bad and was the crappiest artist in my whole year at school, and I kinda shrugged and went "Guess I'll write instead" and just sort of bimbled through life making text adventures and fixing coin-ops, but it's always nagged at me that I can't draw, and my kid's been asking me "Dad how do you draw a cat" and I'm like "You're six and you already draw better than me," and I'm 40 now and wanna put some time in this year towards not sucking quite so much at this.

Anyone got a rec for a good absolute-beginner guide? Like, sub-beginner even, think Small Child Level because I wasn't kidding when I said my 6-year-old draws better than me

I'll be giving a talk at 19.00 this evening (Wednesday, May 24) in Zurich at CCCZH@Bitwäscherei: "Sequoia PGP: Pretty Good Public Key Infrastructure" on #pgp, web of trust, and the tools we are building to make authentication easier. A screenshot below. (Come a bit earlier as the entrance is hard to find.) https://www.ccczh.ch/hackerspace/

I've missed my train (the first time in years!) while debugging the latest #GPG issue. This is honestly the single worst piece of software ever written.

They reinvent every single thing and they do it badly. When you try to make it work for everyone (i.e. make it use system resolver and honor proxies), it just falls apart.

I would consider making #gemato use #Sequoia, except that #RustLang discriminates against even more users than GPG bugs do.

Yesterday we published our 2022 Financial Report. When people saw Thunderbird raised $6.4M in 2022 from donations, one question was asked frequently: "Do you have mega-donors?"

Nope. We just have awesome people 💙

Some stats we didn't publish in the report:

-We had 76 donations that were $500 or above, which is less than 1% of total donations.

-95% of our donations were less than $100.

-The largest donation was €3000.

-Our average donation amount $15.78.

Thank you #Thunderbird family!

RPM uses OpenPGP to protect software updates. In the fall of 2022, it switched from using its own internal OpenPGP implementation to Sequoia. Last week, Fedora 38 was released with a version of RPM that uses Sequoia. I've written about the 1.5 year journey in a blog post.
