part 1

Was digging around figuring out how to actually do the pgp method.

bit of backstory I never wrote down:

at some point in the past I made my server host my PGP key

=> using this method

so now a copy of it

=> lives here

which means I can get keyoxide to use this self-hosted PGP key with a URL like:

=> https://keyoxide.org/wkd/epoch@thebackupbox.net

brings us to today

I started following

=> this guide

and wasn't quite sure exactly how it should look, but I found someone else's pgp key to look at.

then used

gpg --export fingerprint | gpg --list-packets

and decided it would be easy to get a TXT record for my domain like they had, and add a notation with the value:

proof@ariadne.id=dns:thebackupbox.net?type=txt

=> (here's a link directly to the TXT record if you have something that handles it properly.)

I ended up stuck at the part where I added a notation because I did the stuff in

=> this blog post

which means I have my actual secret key on a flash-drive I never touch.

and I need it to add notations.

$ gpg --edit-key 9D8792C80AD2050BB156B989D37F0B9720A0B55B

[ unknown] (1). epoch@thebackupbox.net

gpg> notation
Need the secret key to do this.

gpg> quit

I guess when I get around to booting up a laptop with the flashdrive my private key is on, I'll make a part 2.
