Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I use forwardmail which initially just offered forwarding, but then added POP3 and IMAP4.

I also have a public GPG key so that quite a few email senders will automatically encrypt it before transmission.

Both solve a different problem that proton/tuta do though.

    How does the public GPG thing work? It automatically sends it and is used transparently to the recipient or do they have to set something up?

    I am not sold on Tuta TBH. No auto-forwarding to another address, and the apps feel funny in a way that's hard to describe. Will give them more time to decide.

    Generate a key and you publish your public key... somewhere, I forget: I think GPG's directory. At least the gpg site has instructions: https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/

    Thanks for the link! I can't see how to do this in Tuta and Tuta doesn't support standard clients because of their encrypted email inbox. Annoying, I have to pick between the email provider not being able to read my emails, or the email being encrypted in transit unless it's between Tuta accounts.

    I guess if I use a non-E2E encrypted service and add a GPG key in my clients then I guess this protects it from the provider? But then I have to pick a provider who aren't dicks. Why can't companies just not be dicks.
