I don't know how it is in other countries. We recently wondered what the right thing to do is and the Citystate of Berlin has an FAQ on recycling: https://www.bsr.de/die-top-13-mullmythen-26874.php which makes some thi

The better solution to these kind of problems is having a backup concept with an implementation and regular testing of backups. The encryption exposed a problem with your disks or system in general. Depending on what the problem was, the pr

In practice you can use all three versions of GnuPG on three different devices without a particular difference. One problem you might see is if you are using the newer experimental curve-based algorithms on a computer running GnuPG 1.4 and

I don't know where people would run three versions at the same time. The information from the GnuPG project is clear: You can run GnuPG 1.x and GnuPG 2.x at the same time, but you should not have GnuPG 2.0 and GnuPG 2.1 installed at th

It doesn't anymore. With GnuPG 2.1 listing of keys shows the fingerprint.

Fair enough, when it comes to coming up with creative ways to solve the web of trust problem. I still do not know what problem keybase.io solves when they allow uploading of private keys.

I don't really get what keybase.io is supposed to solve, but it doesn't get in the way of importing keys into Enigmail. If you are in Enigmail's Keymanager you can import from a URL when the content is well-formatted. Example

You are welcome. I tried finding a way to contact you from the medium article that didn't require signing up to or signing into something. I gave up after trying to comment on the article directly and only finding Twitter and Facebook

Author might want to check with the GnuPG developers again: He writes: If you’re using 64-bit Windows, don’t try to install GPG directly from the GPG website . It’s not supported. Gpg4win works just fine. The page he sites: https:/&

A friend saw me entering my longish, non-trivial passphrase into my android phone and commented that I must not have many friends if I have to enter this passphrase every time to use my phone. For a moment I was torn between being proud in

While there are pain points when it comes to hosting your own mail, it isn't nearly as difficult as you make it. It gets more difficult if you are providing a service that has to have uptime guarantees or are providing mail to many use

More people should learn how to run a mailserver, if only to better make decisions about when to outsource and when to keep inhouse.

Cool. Nice to have in contrast. My personal feeling is this: systemd might be a software blackhole that eventually eat and destroy everything it comes close to and that's OK. If it is so bad then other developers can create a new or mo

This might or might not be true. I would be inclined to agree more with it if the evidence from other distribution highlighted this argument. I don't see Debian or Arch developers making that argument. Are they hiding how much pressure

How does this argument even make sense? Since when are Debian developers or Arch linux developers overly concerned with Red Hat marketing muscle?
