Sometimes it really is a joke. But most of the time, it's just the simplest working option. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48487542 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48487542
- snowflaxxx 3mo agoTrue, but imagine this use case: A messenger file with hardcoded settings and a hardcoded PGP key, stored on a USB stick. You send a message. Then you physically destroy the USB stick. The client, the key, and the configuration are gone. At some point the joke starts looking suspiciously like a dead-drop communication protocol. How do you like that, FBI?
