I thought GPG was bad? I don't have enough personal experience with it to quickly summarize or opine on the merits of either of these two articles, but:

The PGP Problem: https://www.latacora.com/blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem

What To Use Instead of PGP: https://soatok.blog/2024/11/15/what-to-use-instead-of-pgp/

I do agree with "fuck NFTs" though, and mostly agree with "fuck cryptocurrency" (mostly because porn and drugs are in my view legitimate use cases for at least a hypothetical non-environmentally-destructive cryptocurrency).

    It's not good.

    But it's leagues better than crypto.

    I hate typing 'asymmetric key cryptography', and GPG is just three letters.

    Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don't see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.

    And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.

    If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.
