I’ve never used Symfony Mailer however:

  1. PGP is a program that encrypts things. Under the hood it can use asymmetric keys just like the example code shows.
  2. Typically you’d use the public key of the person you are sending the email to so that they can use their private key to decrypt it. I’d guess you’d need to look at the docs for the SMTP tool you’re using and see if it can be given the private key

Yes, you assume correctly. I would be interested in finding out how they came to that conclusion!

I think in a different thread, the question of whether the other person was presenting something in good faith came up. I think my original statement was more geared towards dealing with those types of things. I don’t need to engage with everyone if they’re not willing to engage back.

Whilst this statement has some merit, its problem is that you’re setting up a precursor to a straw-man argument. This is because who defines “challenging ideas”. This allows anyone to come up with a supposed challenging idea, then call anyone who doesn’t engage in it “an intellectual nepobaby”.

For example, should I engage in the “challenging idea” that the world is run by lizard people?

What about the “challenging idea” that throwing bricks in peoples faces will fix their teeth?

He does caveat that statement around 10 minutes into the video. But I still think it can be a useful technology even if it’s not portable since it can ease a typical sign in flow. I don’t think as this stage it’ll fully replace passwords.

I didn’t realise it was from a film! I’ve heard that line hundred’s of times listening to Guns n Roses. Thanks!

This something that really annoys me about more and more hardware sold these days. The incessant need to have a connected app and sign in. What I don’t understand is why businesses do it, it increases both the costs before and after a sale to make and maintain?

What I want is “noddy” hardware that does just what it is made to do.
