Well after that I looked at PGP and it seems like it does not yet support pq-secure key exchanges. Bummer.
So then I looked at this cool new thing AGE which apparently is the new kid on the block for encryption. They do support pq-security but when looking at their repo I saw that they started using AI for coding which makes me not want to trust it with encryption.
5 min #video by #Fireship summarising the #Age #Verification #Laws coming to your neighbourhood soon. Also how the #Linux #script turning your installation into a single use personalised #OS, thus not requiring you to collect any data!

So I think moving forward I'm switching to #AGE for file #encryption instead of #PGP. I occasionally make backup archives of various things and use passphrase encryption with #GPG to encrypt them before storing them. However, GPG is very slow for bigger files, and in some testing recently I discovered AGE is multiple times faster. Also, with their latest release they now support hybrid post #quantum assymmetric key pairs. So for encryption it can fully replace GPG.
