Yeah and it’s cool too if you have sensitive text to send home to yourself on your file server, you can encrypt it before you send it. Then decrypt it when you get home.
Just like Bitcoin though, key management is paramount. There’s no sense sending yourself or others encrypted data if the decryption key is readily available for use on the same device without a passphrase.
The recommendation is SHA-256 4096 bit with a strong passphrase. Nobody is cracking that. And if you’re sending data that sensitive, you likely have bigger problems, like Jason Bourne coming to your door lol
The biggest problem I find is on-boarding friends to PGP. It’s so easy, but as usual most people aren’t interested in learning it BEFORE it’s needed.
