What an egregious mislabeling. Data -> Chats and actual Identity Metadata -> Who with whom and when from where,... They construe payment info, PII and similar except chat contents as metadata and say metadata of metadata was that whic

Are there resources on the impact of Keybase being bought by Zoom? Zoom is out of question too because they discourage e2e and darkpattern you into installing their software despite browser compatibility and because they darkpattern you int

Cryptographic Trust /= Trust in persons motives. I guess we need better words.

SSH tooling does not make that any better tbh. Things are being worked on. Watch Sequoia. Maybe some things regarding UX on my radar will surface in a range of <2 years.

You might have gotten me having this too narrow to be broadly useful. Because we were already arguing about a detail and I concentrate just on this detail, not a general github privacy overview. The whole intention was to raise attention to

Right. They always use git@ instead of account@ and there is no further meta in the git remote url. (gut remote url is a funny typo)

Maybe this needs more precise wording. Like ingress/signature key but more compressed instead of public key. Or peer key. Any nice ideas?

Can be configured in .ssh/config. Shortcut for that is to use subdirs or filenames for keys that arent searched automatically and not have a default-name-key.

I am not sure actually because I do not have any persistent github accounts. I only do them in a throwaway fashion. (Of course Github is making that more annoying by the month, as every other bigcorp site.)

Its actually the same thing. A shared identifier. Of course email is another thing to separate for separate identities. But it is way more widely known that email adresses are used ad an unique identifier.

I am just wary of flattery and "my friend". I am not especially suspicious of your motives but we don't know each other yet. If you want to have an interesting conversation with me I am positive to do that pseudonymously. May

That happens as part of the ssh handshake. And is the basis of this whole scheme. No idea if there is tooling to.do.that for arbitrary messages.

Attaching this to cryptoassets increases your operational (more mental overhead, doesnt work with simple keybearer devices, you assume people to be lazy and bad at key management) and technical (irrevocable ethereum-bugs that can only be mi

Is that sarcasm?

Then this is bad advice in general because its specific to a low trust expectation. Would be sensible to note that in your comment.

The crowd that needs privacy is also the most high stakes and vulnerable crowd. They are the people that may save civil society with a structure built by thousands of small stones. Dismissing concern in that area is inherently giving tyrant

To shortcut a lot of this developing twister of why people should use different keypairs for different ssh hosts: Its a big privacy leak, not a big security leak. Your Pubkey can be used to cross-match multiple identities. Example: You have

Which is still way more than most other os updaters need to download. Also its incredibly slow. Updating a bunch of computers with i9, 64gb ram, nvme and gigabit uplink from an older iso install to recent still took half a day and 4 restart

Do they deal with the hassle of maintaining phone numbers for me? I obviously want different numbers for my messengers and for the phone I walk around.

That would be disingenious. Ever had a thing that wanted to encrypt text in a browser? Those things could finally make sense. Or that one offline wallet generator. It would be sweet if software become actually finished.

Because that is not obvious and your post looked like uncharitable interpretation of uncertain things. Are there others than Tom Scott claiming this? Are there underhanded motivations propable on Tom Scott's side against BraveBrowser o
