       I spent a lot of time today trying to figure out #GNUPG / #GPG to encrypt and sign backups. I've used it occasionally for literally decades, but still struggle with it. I know if I used it more, I would get used to it and feel more comfortable, but I don't have the time or the need to use it more.Is there another good open source program to symmetrically encrypt a file? But, for signing, you would still need to use key pairs, right?Any good how-tos out there?#linux #cli #privacy #security

       @chris_spackman whether you're using gpg/pgp, age, or some exotic encryption you're likely going to have a better experience if you write some shell-scripts or aliases for instance if you made an alias function to call lock() and give it an xarg to pass (your file or directory) it would make your life easier.if gpg/pgp becomes too much to deal with, try age encryption.  it's pretty simple and with a wrapper like sops makes it even easier.

       @threat Thanks. I might include it in a shell script, for sure.
