"Why Some Criticisms Matters More Than Others", by Robert J. Hansen:

"""
On the GnuPG-Users mailing list, a user asked the following (paraphrased) question:

> I am very well aware of the consistent and persistent campaign against GnuPG. Is there a reason for this?

There are many reasons.

Before we go further, the things I'm speaking of apply to both LibrePGP and RFC9580 OpenPGP. The criticisms made against one usually wind up getting made against the other, whether for good or ill. These criticisms fall on a spectrum, from infuriatingly dishonest all the way to carefully thought out and researched. I'll start with the ones I think are dishonest.

#GnuPG #PGP

If you're using #gnupg with a keyserver for "gpg --refresh-keys" and you're running into the bug of getting aborted with "No data", this script is a good workaround for updating your keys of a single email domain using a (organization) key server:

https://codeberg.org/publicvoit/my-domain-gpg-refresh-keys.sh

Background: gnupg fetches keys in chunks (batches) and if a single chunk doesn't contain a single address found on the key server (because you got the keys elsewhere), the whole update process is aborted. 🤦‍♂️

#gpg #OpenPGP

Mit GnuPG kannst du Texte und Dateien ganz einfach, plattformunabhängig, kostenlos, ohne Cloud-Zwang und sicher verschlüsseln. Die verschlüsselten Daten können sicher per E-Mail und Messenger versenden und/oder in einer Cloud gespeichert werden.

Keine 30 Jahre und schon komme ich jetzt ich mit #OpenPGP Schlüsseln ganz gut zurecht.

Anyone got a working #GPG #git commit signing example for a #macos using #homemanager #nixdarwin

Currently getting the following error:
error: gpg failed to sign the data:
gpg: skipped "$USER": No secret key

The https://freepg.org/ project maintains patches against #GnuPG with the goal of closer adherence to the IETF #OpenPGP spec.

One currently open question is if/how draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc support could be realistically added to #FreePG

I've started https://codeberg.org/freepg/freepg-draft-ietf-openpgp-pqc first of all as a notes-to-self repo for a (presumably very slow and long-term) side quest to explore this problem.

Specifically, the goal would be adding support for v4 ML-KEM-768+X25519 subkeys.
