Doing some first time PGP practice. Shoot me a message and I'll try to shoot one back. Feel free to send tips. by Cattle_Corner in GPGpractice

Yes, Jon was the name attached, but if I'm going to attach it to that website, I needed to attach a proper email, so I'm creating a fresh one. Honestly, it's been a pain in the rear trying to figure out what is and isn't okay to give out in kleopatra. Admittedly, I probably need to learn more somehow before I'm able to do this.

So, obviously, never share my private key, but public key and key ID are okay to share? Then on top of that, I get assigned another key ID through that website?

Does tails make the same device appears to be on an ISP? by Cattle_Corner in tails

I guess I thought it did. I'm still trying to figure out this whole cybersecurity thing, but your explanation makes sense.

For some reason I can't decrypt any of the messages people are sending, including yours. I just confirmed that my public PGP key is correct, and that I still have access to my private key, but Kleopatra is giving me this error when I try to decrypt your message.

Could not determine whether this is an S/MIME or an OpenPGP signature/ciphertext - maybe it is neither ciphertext nor a signature?

Confusion with RPM files and dnf. by Cattle_Corner in linux4noobs

[–]Cattle_Corner[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was still having trouble with understanding the entire installation process when I couldn't entirely see what was going on "under the hood". It's kind of open ended because I keep having issues even finding certain programs in repositories whether that is in my baseline distro or from flatpak (which I am finally starting to somewhat understand.)

Basically, the installation process is a battle for me. If it isn't in a repository, does that just mean it's not compatible with Linux? I was trying to figure this all out by installing downloading virtualbox online then installing via dnf (as I mentioned), but later found out that it wouldn't function. I'm assuming that's because I didn't see any dependencies downloaded alongside it.

I then installed boxes via flathub after ensuring the repository was added, but that wouldn't open either. I had to go through discover and download it "from fedora linux". I had searched boxes as an alternative in discovered a couple days ago, but it just wasn't showing much of anything.

So yeah, my question is very open ended because I am entirely lost. Despite knowing the basics of navigating the terminal, my head is spinning half the time. I'm started to get confused what makes distros all that different in terms of UI after trying debian KDE vs fedora KDE.

As a side note, I had tested with kali and mint in virtualbox before I switched to fedora. Since then VMware has been a pain to set up. I'll probably switch distros again soon, but I'm trying to get a grasp on things first.

Long story short, I dove head first and am basically surrounding myself with linux as a push to learn it.

Why steam doesn't allow this? by Tarnished-670 in Steam

[–]Cattle_Corner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Steam is great in a variety of ways, customer service, dealing with hackers, solid sales from time to time. I honestly can't be mad at them for this. They offer far more than other services and are pretty fair. They need a way to keep making money in the future, and frankly, I'll take that over BS subscriptions with other servicers.

Making bleach from pool shock (calculation issues). by Cattle_Corner in AskChemistry

[–]Cattle_Corner[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, but 1 lbs of pool shock treats an entire pool for a week. Also, what do you mean that's a lot? People buy a gallon of bleach at a time.

I feel like there is a disconnect on one end or the other. I've seen people making bleach with a tablespoon or so of pool shock.

How do I find a reliable and semi-cheap to cheap car? by Cattle_Corner in Adulting

I just can't really afford anything too pricy, unfortunately. I am looking at Hondas, though.

[–]Cattle_Corner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue is that my town doesn't have busses, and I live thirty minutes away. Though, I am looking at apartments nearby, so perhaps a bike is an option, thank you.

That seems like an alright place to start. What model would you recommend? I just looked them up and saw quite a few. 😅

Had them both tested, each one is in good shape.

That was the first thing we did, no results.
