Nah, this isn't working. Says my passphrase is "bad". Which it isn't... so I don't know. Guess I should revoke my public key and try again or something. It kinda boggles my mind how unnecessarily complex this process is. i guess most people who use this system live with it enough to know it better, but I've lost patience with it for now.
It's both a sheer cliff of bad design and a real problem of security.
Unless we can meet up and exchange brown paper folders while wearing fedoras (A red one is fine) then there's just no secure way to transmit information to you.
Most normal humans just live with bad security (or no security at all) and us nerds live with the badly integrated security. It's the way it's been for decades now. One day someone will fix it.
