@staringatclouds Yes. #Thunderbird still supports #PGP #OpenPGP #GPG. The interface has improved a bit over the years too. It's no longer a separate add-on, but integrated into the codebase itself. It's probably not as seamless an experience as it could be, but certainly functional.
@annaaurora how came?
Doesn't @thunderbird let you import the Keyfile??
@Natanox @djvdq I do agree in that regard as in that a lot of #FLOSS doesn't do good #UI & #UX but I've yet to see an issue that wasn't already covered well-enough (even for #GnuPG / #GPG there's #Kleopatra as a nice #GUI!) to the point that even on #Windows or #macOS you'd have to use a #CLI tool for that...
In fact, they don't give a s**t about tje underlying OS. Most don't even care if they use #Firefox or #Chrome and #Google or #DuckDuckGo.
Holy shit is verifying a file through GPG a pain in the ass on Windows. Turns out the problem I was running into is the asc file for the main download was coming out as a txt file. When I finally tried the Github version, it downloaded as an asc and it worked no problem.
Fuck though.
That took like, an hour.
@ahelwer I've been using smartcards for about a decade now. Works well enough for keeping three 4096-bit RSA subkeys around on a more-secure-than-not environment. But rather than have the card generate the private keys, I generated the private keys on an airgapped machine, and keep encrypted copies elsewhere (USB drives) for when I needed to change smart cards, which has happened once so far.
The only sane way to manage GPG keys these days is to get a hardware crypto wallet (the industry's only arguably positive contribution to the world) right? So you can back up the private key seed and restore it if the wallet hardware is destroyed and then the private key is kept in a separate secure element instead of in a file on your computer. Otherwise whenever I get an email encrypted with PGP (like once every few years) I can't decrypt it because the private key is long gone since I didn't back it up anywhere. Any better ideas?
Well, what do you know, the #Communist Party of the #Philippines (CPP)'s Chief Information Officer is actually here on The #ATmosphere network / #Bluesky.
Not only that, they have a #PGP / #GPG on their profile.
