    What an egregious mislabeling. Data -> Chats and actual Identity Metadata -> Who with whom and when from where,... They construe payment info, PII and similar except chat contents …

    Are there resources on the impact of Keybase being bought by Zoom? Zoom is out of question too because they discourage e2e and darkpattern you into installing their software despit…

    SSH tooling does not make that any better tbh. Things are being worked on. Watch Sequoia. Maybe some things regarding UX on my radar will surface in a range of <2 years.

    You might have gotten me having this too narrow to be broadly useful. Because we were already arguing about a detail and I concentrate just on this detail, not a general github pri…

    Right. They always use git@ instead of account@ and there is no further meta in the git remote url. (gut remote url is a funny typo)

    Maybe this needs more precise wording. Like ingress/signature key but more compressed instead of public key. Or peer key. Any nice ideas?

    Its actually the same thing. A shared identifier. Of course email is another thing to separate for separate identities. But it is way more widely known that email adresses are used…

    I am just wary of flattery and "my friend". I am not especially suspicious of your motives but we don't know each other yet. If you want to have an interesting conversation with me…

    To shortcut a lot of this developing twister of why people should use different keypairs for different ssh hosts: Its a big privacy leak, not a big security leak. Your Pubkey can b…
