Lack of proper RDP-like experience is also a dealbreaker for me.

I'm not advocating hosting your own server. Just buy shared hosting from hetzner, OVH etc. and your done.

Don't shift the goalpost please. We are talking about forgetting password for your email account.

Now the part about attacking your email/domain:

If somebody transfers your domain without your will you have to contact domain registry and you will get it back after a bit of back and forth. It happens, noting new here.

Unless you register .eu domain - there is a whole institution dealing with that and there is no easy and quick way to transfer the domain in a stealth way + long grace periods and better authorization so its much harder to even try to do that.

Compare that to Google - your account gets locked or even worse somebody gains access to your email and that's it. Your not getting it back.

You are the paying customer, contrary to Google experience you can just call support and regain access. You can even contact domain registry directly and transfer your domain to other hosting if your current one will suddenly go out of business or whatever.

There is no way to be locked out of your own domain after forgetting your password.

That's like basic stuff people! Buy your own domains already.

Buy your own domain and hosting so you can always regain access to it. It's hackernews so it astounds me that most people posting here use some free email instead of paying few buck for own domain and hosting.

C++ has GCC, CLANG, MSVC, all of them being major, and a dozen of less popular ones used in specific places like Intel C++ Compiler.

If it would "fail" and there would be no consequences so I could't tell if it failed or not - would it make a difference?

Packet managers on pretty much every Linux distribution use GPG for verifying packages.

Key management is a burden in every cryptosystem. I'm using KeePass and can recommend it, it works well.

Yet it's the best we got right now.

Backup, archivization, password managers, the list is long. Duplicity has many users: http://duplicity.nongnu.org Pass is also pretty popular on HN: https://www.passwordstore.org Both use GPG.

Thanks, saved me some time.

Unless you want your built in cellular modem to work properly.

Encrypted email is almost a marginal usage scenario for GPG compared to other uses. It does everything. It is everywhere.Yes it is big, nobody has to use all of it. Just like C++... oh wait it is unpopular on hacker news bubble too despite being a juggernaut of a language. It will still be relevant long after hacker news will be no more.

>obscure your security posture as much to yourself as to adversaries

Almost barfed from sheer intensity of tech corpobabble. Its for blocking 0-days dummy!

The same with "GnuPG is bad" mantra on hackernews. There is nothing better that GPG currently for all its functionality and the only answer you get when asking for substitute is don't use this function or use some obscure application. Yeah right.

SHA2 is hardware accelerated on many new CPUs, Blake family not so much.

So much this. Don't make this another unreliable toy wasting space in somebodys drawer.

Simply not true. Defaults are cryptographically strong.

Can't wait for new major version that includes changes listed in RFC4880bis, new curves, AEAD methods EAX and OCB and many other improvements.

GPG is great, there is no tool like it.
