Sorry, I only sign elliptic curve keys.

Are my keys not curvy enough for you?

not even rsa4090? (tbh i have no idea about cryptography, any of those terms or what elliptic keys are and why they are better... like why aren't they the default in GPG?)

RSA2048 is still commonly used.

RSA4096 is quite strong still.

The push towards elliptical curve keys has two main reasons.

They offer equivalent or better strength for less CPU usage to their RSA counterparts.

They are more resistant to cryptographic attacks.

Adoption of EC keys has been slow. Mostly because legacy software has poor support for them. (But legacy stuff has also been known to choke on large RSA keys like 4096)

Additionally, there's some controversy over them.

Search secp256r1 vs secp256k1 to learn more about that.

The Linux community appears to prefer the k version because the NSA defined the r version.

Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
