  • In all jurisdictions where I have personal experience, getting some "group of people" properly registered as a non-profit organization usually isn't too much of a hassle.

  • Well, on one hand, two minutes is unacceptably slow, but on the other hand, why would anyone ever shutdown their computer so often that this matters?

  • I always thought the signing is for a specific set of hardware and current os installation.

    Ah, no, PGP keys are intended for identifying people, not machines.

    I have the directory .gnupg

    That's all you need for GPG.

    Is there something else I have to copy?

    Why not copy your entire home directory?

  • Every time I have to reinstall my operating system (its really only a few times in a decade),

    Reinstalling your operating system once a decade seems a bit excessive. When you're more experienced you'll probably not want to do it that often.

    creating gpg keys

    While it is a good practice to create new PGP keys with some regularity, there's absolutely no reason to do it at the same time as reinstalling your operating system, doing that is only an unnecessary complication. The normal thing to do is to copy the entire home directory (and at least the keyring) from the old installation to the new.

    Am I doing enterprise level security for the sake of an icon or is this really more secure?

    The purpose of PGP signing git commits is to make it possible for others to verify that a commit has been created by you and not by someone else pretending to be you.

    If there are other people who look at your commits and want to verify that they really were made by you then this matters a lot. If no-one does that with your commits, it doesn't matter at all.

  • But those are all custom builds and don't fulfill the definition of being possible to "buy ready made" given by OP.

  • That's why the checkbox should be grayed out, so that you can't uncheck it.

  • Batmobiles. Lots of companies sell Batmobile toys, no companies sell Batmobiles.

  • Bamse — världens starkaste björn!

  • Sorry, no, that's not how it works, not at all.

  • If some of the people I work with knew how little time I spend thinking about them, some egos would be severely hurt.

  • Then there’s that one nation…

    Sure, but we forgive Italy just because they love the game so much, they can have their own strange name for it if they want.

  • Isn’t the UK in Europe though?

    Of course, and both Canada and Mexico are in North America.

  • Tmux was purpose built for terminal multiplexing.

    Was screen not purpose built for terminal multiplexing?

  • When tmux was first released I was already so used to screen that I never really considered switching. What would some convincing arguments be for me to make the effort to switch now?
