They say encryption is hard
===========================
Encryption **is** hard. I've started and failed before. I had to
revoke my keys so often, and just as often I've been unable to revoke
them...
Anyway, I resolve to create and maintain the facility to send and
receive email securely, that is, to use GPG effectively, with the
public key published appropriately, with backups of the private key,
etc.
Previous attempts have shown me that I am able to maintain systems
that I use. If nobody sends me any encrypted mail and nobody receives
any from me, then I won't maintain the system... I'll forget the
passphrase, for example... Would anybody like to be my crypto buddy?
I imagine that would mean that about once a month, I'd encrypt a
message for that person and decrypt one they wrote for me. This is
akin to workout buddies who compel each other to go to the gym, I
suppose.
Meatspace
=========
Speaking of the gym, I also resolve to quit smoking and lose some
weight.
The fleet
=========
I'm going to catch up on technical debt regarding my various machines.
Why does `metalbaby` still run `i3` when every other machine is
running `stumpwm` now? Laziness, that's why. I resolve to clean up
my fleet.
Old disks
=========
I also resolve to continue my backup/archival work. That box of
harddrives isn't getting any more compatible with readily available
hardware. ...Well, it's probably more possible to bit-bang IDE (not
ATA) these days than ever before, but why bother when I can still
locate physical IDE hardware? ...or can I?
