There's being cryptic, there's being actively user-hostile. And then there is pgp. I point people to https://www.vice.com/en/article/vvbw9a/even-the-inventor-of-pgp-doesnt-use-pgp whenever they wonder about some oddity in pgp/gpg. Linus

GPG might need some UX polish (or maybe > it's the distros that do this to us). Anyway here it is! I don't remember the exact commands I used when preparing for last ELC-E, but some Googling suggests: sudo apt install pinentry-tty sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry At least I do have /etc/alternatives/pinentry -> /usr/bin/pinentry-curses Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- There's lots of Linux beyond ia32 -- geert@linux-m68k.org In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that. -- Linus Torvalds
