Quoting myself in a mood today at work

```#GPG keys have two parts: the private key (which is fiercely protected) and the public key (which is handed out like sleazy leaflets on a Las Vegas street corner.)```

Made a few updates and released a new version of #calliope , a #bash script based utility to write a journal using #LaTeX. Since it's #LaTeX based, you can pretty much add whatever you wish to your journal---images, other PDFs, beautiful maths, and of course, you can customise it as you wish to suit your needs. It's all managed by #Git and if you'd like you can encrypt your journal entries using #gpg

Check it out on #GitHub : github.com/sanjayankur31/calli

@Xeniax Totally nerdsniped :D I'd love to be a part of the study.

I don't think that #KeyServers are dead. I think they evolved into Verifying Key Servers (VKS), like the one run by a few folks from the OpenPGP ecosystem at keys.openpgp.org/about . More generally, I believe that #PGP / #GPG / #OpenPGP retains important use-cases where accountability is prioritized, as contrasted with ecosystems (like #Matrix, #SignalMessenger) where deniability (and Perfect Forward Secrecy generally) is prioritized. Further, PGP can still serve to bootstrap those other ecosystems by way of signature notations (see the #KeyOxide project).

Ultimately, the needs of asynchronous and synchronous cryptographic systems are, at certain design points, mutually exclusive (in my amateur estimation, anyway). I don't think that implies that email encryption is somehow a dead-end or pointless. Email merely, by virtue of being an asynchronous protocol, cannot meaningfully offer PFS (or can it? Some smart people over at crypto.stackexchange.com seem to think there might be papers floating around that can get at it: crypto.stackexchange.com/quest).

To me, the killer feature of PGP is actually not encryption per se. It's certification, signatures, and authentication/authorization. I'm more concerned with "so-and-so definitely said/attested to this" than "i need to keep what so-and-so said strictly private/confidential forever and ever." What smaller countries like Croatia have done with #PKI leaves me green with envy.

The gender pay gap at the top: the role of networks d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ptu:wpap
"…female top managers in Portugal earn 25% less than their male counterparts, even after controlling for factors such as age, education, and tenure.
… introducing new metrics for #network size and gender composition based on managers’ past interactions, … networks account for 20% of this pay gap, primarily through firm #sorting, as networks enable access to higher-paying firms. Focusing on episodes of transitions between firms, we estimate a pay gap of around 22%, indicating that most of the gender pay gap originates during the #hiring process.… one-third of the gap is explained by differences in networks. The #networkEffect works through two channels: by facilitating access to higher-paying firms (70% of the effect) and by enhancing #bargainingPower during salary negotiations in the new firm (30%).

I recently realized that Git commits could be made on your behalf without your consent.

This could happen because either you left your computer unlocked in a public place (or any place actually), your computer got stolen and the disk wasn't encrypted or any of those combinations.

To prevent this, Git has a "signing" mechanism that proves without any doubt that you made that commit.

It uses GPG, and with power of cryptography, it protects your work from being hacked.

Has anyone here on #fedi figured out the correct recipe for dealing with #OpenPGP, #DMARC and #mailman ?

The problem, by default mailman will modify messages and this will break the dkim signature.
gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/i

Mailman provides two DMARC mitigation options (other option is reject or discard which is not useful in this case).

1. Replace the from address with list address
2. Wrap original message in an envelope

thunderbird flags 1 and fails 2.

Does the Gender Wage Gap Actually Reflect Taste Discrimination Against Women? d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:nbr:nber
"… misogyny is an economically meaningful and statistically significant predictor of the wage gap
… test more explicit implications of taste discrimination. The data are inconsistent with the Becker taste discrimination model
But the data are consistent with the effects of taste discrimination against women in search models, in which #discrimination on the part of even a small group of misogynists can result in a wage gap."
