    I've always thought that #pgp was pretty good, but I just came across this seemingly reasonable article that is *very* critical of it: https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html

    The tldr:

    * pgp has weak security options and code complexity for backwards compatibility with the 90s

    * because of that, pgp is really easy to misconfigue with poor security

    * pgp doesn't provide forward secrecy

    * pgp encourages you to have one master key that you never change, instead of rotating

    Any thoughts/rebuttals?

      (I'm slightly disappointed that, of all the many replies I got to the above toot, *none* of them were "I see what you did there")
